I’m trying find words to best distinguish attentions such as jobs, free time usage, and goals into two categories.

There are tasks that serve some level of reasonable necessity and most often provide some sort of tangible result.
And there are instead tasks that are adopted for joy, interest, or expression.

Jobs like construction, farming, education, store stocker, or even table maker fall into the first category I’m visualizing.
Job categories like artists, clown, DJ, sports coach, or advertiser tend to serve the second category as a whole.
And fields like research, web design, typist, custodian, and city planner sit more upon the fence in what I’m reaching at, being lessnot tangible in product and perhaps more marginalvarying in necessity typically.

I can see even now looking at those lists that some might find a few comparative groupings a bit perplexing, so perhaps further clarification of this “tangibility” would help?
The first class would involve primary connections… either creating objects (generally of at least some utility) or bearing central responsibility to allow it’s existenceusage .
In terms of the second class they would serve as less required intermediaries or be tasked with decreasing tertiary concerns to their existence (salesman, parking maid, waitress).

I are one person and if I can give some real boundaries to the distinction I speak of, I just cannot find great words to embody the ideas fully, particularly the first group. Is Productive, tangible, constructive, practical, purposeful vs Entertaining, frivolous this year? What

is the best word to
come
up with?

Most of the words come off weak and so broad that they miss most of the idea of the words. Positivenegative connotation words are fair game (like frivolous), as it seems there’s possibly some generally implied comparative benefit built into the first category than the other, but non emotionless objective words are also of great interest.
