"I have become a housewife and there is no better job"
About this Quote
The line also needles our cultural hierarchy of work. We pay and praise performance, but we treat care labor as invisible until it’s missing. Dion’s insistence that there is "no better job" isn’t a spreadsheet argument about wages or hours; it’s a values statement, a bid to reassign prestige. Coming from someone who has done the most mythologized kind of labor - turning emotion into an arena-sized product - it forces the listener to ask why one form of labor gets a standing ovation while the other gets a shrug.
The subtext is protective, too. Pop stardom is a constant extraction: your time, your body, your narrative. Naming housewifery as the "better job" reads like reclaiming boundaries, choosing a life where devotion isn’t mediated by fans, contracts, or cameras. It’s aspirational, but pointed: fame may be glamorous, yet the real luxury is agency.
