I thought that Cac really was a musician therefore I assumed that the reason he doesn't want to talk about his job is that it is just a job and not his purpose. Maybe if he played flute in some sort of ensemble on a regular basis that would be something he would feel like talking about. So maybe if the purpose of his job which is not his purpose is to support his family it would make more sense for Cac and MrsCac to have conversations about their shared value of family rather than something for which neither of them have a great passion.

Also, unless I'm remembering wrong, MrsCac is a musician too. So why don't they do musical things together as a family? Like they could train the kids and then they could be like the Von Trapps or The Partridge Family or something like that.
