I don’t know, I find this distinction by gender curious. Although considering that my sisters are very much into doing things their own way, it’s not much of a surprise.
EDIT: a more precise description of what my sisters do and one of my sister’s job.
My brother works in the kitchen as a cook, I don’t know if that makes a difference, I admit I assume he works for a salary just because he has a Boss and is working for someone else.
And, well, maybe “self-employed” was the correct term? Although it didn’t fit well with what I wanted to say, but since English is not my mother language, I kinda get confuse sometimes.
