If its a chef profession or artist I’ll tell my children to do it as a hobby. 
About weird professions once we met this guy who was or still is a software developer, he was making balloon animals for children, and he told us he used to do it as a hobby for his children, but then one day he started his business as a clown, face painting and balloon animal person, and he is happy now. 
looks like there is no sharam in working.

People also find journalism especially news reporting not a very nice profession for females.
