The socially respectable and seemingly profitable job or career that a wealthy person claims to have to hide the fact that they don't really work or make money and instead coast off their savings, inheritance, or other handouts.
For example someone might claim to be a 'designer' though no one buys anything they make and they live off their parents, or someone might say they're an 'investor' but they don't invest any money or do anything to make profit.
Such claimed careers and jobs give status and recognition to someone who would otherwise be classified as unemployed or idle.

He claims he's an investor but that's just his veneer career, he just comes from a rich family and spends his parents money but doesn't do anything otherwise. His sister's veneer clothing is a handbag line she puts out which has 2 customers: her parents.

Get the Robert Creedleson mug.An unusually sedentary lifeform found slouched in the darkest corner of the bedroom, often surrounded by snack wrappers, half-finished drinks, and an aura of vague disappointment. The Creech expends minimal energy unless food is involved, and despite doing absolutely nothing, still manages to bark orders like a discount drill sergeant with no rank.
“Hey man, can you help me move this couch?”
“Nah, The Creech said he’s conserving his back for fantasy football season.”

The United Nations today is nothing more than a panem et circenses, a political circus that performs only for the media.

Get the panem et circences mug.the Latin phrase panem et circences can also be translated into modern American English as fast food and entertainment (whether it's sports, the movies, bowling, the media, or computer games) rather than bread and circuses as in The Roman Empire
