Yes and no. Also its kinda a problem of definition. Being an artist gives you the ability to fulfill the requirements that some jobs have.
One of those jobs is paid artist.
Artist can be the person doing art, or a person working in art as a job. Both is correct and one is a requirement for the other. It doesn't give every artist a job though.
Analogy: knowing and writing programms with a programming languages makes you a programmer. If you do it in your freetime for fun you are still a programmer but it doesn't give you a job. While doing the same things while getting paid for it does make it a job.
