解析：

(1)	从第二段作者所举的例子(一个想成为艺术家的人)我们可以看出，作者认为无论是兼职，还是不拿报酬做自己喜欢的工作都是有必要的。
(2)	从下文的“Well, I just don’t have the work relative to…”得知，Albert Einstein起初没有得到做物理教授的工作。
(3)	relative to在这里是“与……有关”的意思。
(4)	instead在这里相当于instead of getting a job as a physics professor。
(5)	while employed等于while he was employed。在时间状语从句或条件状语从句中，从句的主语如果与主句主语一致，且谓语含有动词be，可以省略主语和动词be。
(6)	the inventions指Einstein的两项理论发明。
(7)	从前文我们得知，Einstein起初想做物理教授，没有哪个大学想要他。现在他出名了，没有哪所重点大学不想要他。
(8)	从后文“…, supporting(养活) yourself by waiting tables”可知，以艺术为自己的工作时，做饭店服务员只是为了挣钱养活自己。
(9)	who在这里代表a waiter，本句的意思是“不要把自己看成一个有一天能成为艺术家的饭店服务员”。显然作者认为，你应该把自己看成艺术家，而不是服务员。
(12)	“一星期做24小时的服务员也许能挣到生存的薪水”。possible在这里表示“可能性”。其他选项不合 提示：
