Sort of job in which only a limited living can be made? (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
dead end
'sort of job' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'only a limited living can be made?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'be' could be 'end' (ending is a kind of being) and 'end' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in which' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dead end that I've seen before include "Blind alley or situation without prospects" , "Blind alley, cul-de-sac" , "Where no progress can be made" , "going nowhere" , "A blind alley, sounds moribund" .)
