My favorite job is that of a (n) 58 . You can make beautiful thing and you don't have to 59 to get to work. Also, you don't have to do what other people tell you. You can 60 what you are going to paint and then you just do it. The only 61 thing is that artists don't make very much money.

In a word, 65 job has both good and bad things about it, but I think that artists have got the best jobs.
