Yes, as long as it's honest. From the Catechism of the Council of Trent on matrimony:
Quote
The husband should also be constantly occupied in some honest pursuit with a view to provide necessaries for the support of his family and to avoid idleness, the root of almost every vice.

In my long experience in business:

What you do for a living should have been developed by your father since you were a child (I am talking about male children and man's work)

Everyone has a gift from God, a talent, a leaning. Some are born builders of things, some are born salesmen, doctors, lawyers, accountants, clergy, artists/aesthetics, farmers/agricultural....... It is the job of the father to figure this out and provide the tools for the child to grow in knowledge of their field.

Was this done for you?
No, it wasn’t. I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately though.

1.) Read Uniformity With God's Will by Saint Alphonsus de Ligouri.
Yes, that work is excellent. It's available here and on CCEL.

In Latin America one has to invent something to make money, it is not like the USA where one can just go work for a company, although the USA is changing fast in the direction of the Latin American experience.

What are you good at?

Isn't the CCT great? That says it all, nothing else need be said.
