Is it acceptable for Christians to have an unchristian job or career?

Can you be a prostitute? How about drug dealer?
The context of Taniyah's commentary implies that being a prostitute or drug dealer are unacceptable vocations as Christians.

Note the "values and integrity" observation...

I like the balance perspective, too...

1 Corinthians 9:19-23

New King James Version

19 For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; 20 and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the [a]law, that I might win those who are under the law; 21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without [b]law toward God, but under [c]law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; 22 to the weak I became [d]as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23 Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.

What about Rahab?

Rahab’s most significant contribution to the Bible is her inclusion in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. In the book of Matthew, Rahab is mentioned as one of the five women in the lineage of Jesus Christ. The other four women are Tamar, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. Rahab is specifically mentioned as the wife of Salmon, and the mother of Boaz.

I believe she was saved by faith???

She is also listed in the “Hall of Faith”:​

[Heb 11:30-31 KJV] 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. 31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

As well as:​

[Jas 2:24-26 KJV] 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent [them] out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
