I don't think it matters.  If a person is empathatic then that is how one 
is.

Speaking for myself, if I take a gig, regardless of the pay, I  
sincerely attempt to deliver music that is a good "fit" for the event.  
  I attempt to do so in a tasteful and creative manner.  I avoid gigs  
that lack a prospect for a positive outcome.

Indeed, there are situations where one needs thick skin.  After all,  
there are always going to be a few rude people.  I believe that to  
have "thick skin" and to "not care" are two different issues, though.
