Twilight Sparkle LIVES at the library, she doesn't "work" there. Pinkie Pie only works there because she likes baking and the such. Rarity is self-employed, making clothing because it's her passion. I suspect all the bits she makes go towards new fabric or her outfits. As with other ponies, it's possible she buys food. All the ponies probably do. Rainbow Dash is like any other Pegasus, they can affect the weather. That doesn't necessarily mean that she's employed to do it, aside from Winter Wrap Up. As for Applejack, it's a thing that runs in the family as well as her calling in life. All the money she makes is donated to the farm, therefore I believe she really doesn't make any profit. She doesn't seem to care, since she has nothing to really buy for her own desire and she'd rather let the money help her family's business. Since Derpy Hooves is a fan-created type of horse and she isn't main, it's hard to tell the background for her job with the post office. She might have even been fired after dropping that anvil on Twilight's head. Her job seems to be like any other, unlike someponies whose jobs are not completely "jobs".

To me, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Applejack are really the only ones with real jobs. Pinkie Pie is sort of debatable because of whether or not she gets bits for working. All of them do it because it's what they love.

Fluttershy doesn't really need a job. Ponies do buy food at resturants, but there's plenty of grass that they can eat, also hay that they can grow themselves. I think Fluttershy has livestock just because she likes to raise animals. Carnivorous diet has nothing to do with it. Like with Philomena, she takes care of animals that might be ill. I don't know whether she does it for other creatures, but when she does it's not a paid job. Plus, Fluttershy's job is looking ADORABLE. :'D I don't see why she needs one.
