Russian term or phrase: я нигде не работаю
In the following paragraph:

… Хотя почему это я говорю «имеем»? Все записано на Мишино имя, я абсолютно нищая и, если супруг разведется со мной, останусь без копейки. Более того, я нигде не работаю и имею необыкновенно «нужную» и «хлебную» в наше время профессию музыканта.


Does it mean - I don't have a fixed place of work?
