I personally think therapist is a real job for sure. Mine has to sit still, and listen with full attention to my rambling for 50 mins, if that's not a job I don't know what is...
I feel like professional athletes aren't real jobs because they don't serve a function. Not the way being a therapist, teacher, cook, janitor, nurse, lawyer, etc. serve a function. I do think that athletes work hard and are admirable though. I just wouldn't consider it a job as much as other things.
