Nu cred că trebuie omis acest "day" în traducere, probabil persoana în cauză având şi un "night job"?

nu conta c-ai să trăieşti din asta!


Explanation:
cred că un context mai larg ar fi ajutat la găsirea celei mai bune interpretări a expresiei. pornind de la explicaţia de mai jos, m-am gândit să parafrazez prin "nu conta c-ai să trăieşti din asta"

Don't give up the day job! (humorous)
something that you say to someone who is performing in order to tell them that you do not think they are very good at it 'What did you think of my singing, then?' 'Er, don't give up the day job!' http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/Don't give up the day jo...

Day job
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A day job is a form of occupation taken by a person in order to make ends meet while working another low-paying (or non-paying) job in their preferred career track. Archetypal examples of this are the woman who is working as a waitress for her "day job", while she tries to become an actress, and the professional athlete who must work as a laborer in the off season because he is currently only able to make the roster of a semi-professional team.
