Steemit isn't a job, and can't be used to substitute for one, according to some rich rulers. Ask @berniesanders., he's been telling many people such things. You can't keep your rewards if he finds out you don't have a regular job. He keeps flagging people and telling them they need to go get a job. It seems to bother him if you make rewards, less than the top authors, if you don't have a regular job to keep you busy.

Well, good thing than that I have a regular job and it will take a good while until I have enough SP that would allow me to live from posting and currating alone.
from Why are some people allowed to keep their rewards, but others not?
Can you actually become a whale by posting? Fat chance.
So essentially, you can't be a whale from posting because you have to work a regular job. All the mega whales got that way through early mining when no one was around. So you work, then post, and then if you get successful you can keep your rewards. But I posted for 6 months and just reached 100,000 SP (without a job, posting 3-4 times a day). If you want to be a real whale of 1,000,000+ SP, well that's 5 years of posting 3-4 posts each day. Some people got that just by "ninja mining" for STEEM early on. Others joined early and got into the tens and hundreds of thousands just by posting. Did anyone flag them for making rewards, even if they had no job?
