Forex Is trading not considered a job?

A few days ago a girl bashed me for the time I'm wasting on trading. She said it's not a real job and I'm just a dreamer. She's a salesgirl in a mall and claims to be more important than me since I do my main job also sitting in front of a computer. I should get a real job and work my ass like she does. I didn't tell her how much I earn though.

I kept being calm and grinned because she's quite the opposite of me. I'm fit and workout and usually very calm. She's chubby and always angry. But it made me think how average people sees trading nowadays. Why that bad reputation? Why is trading not considered a job?
