Ironwood doesn’t have free time. I’ve never seen an instance of him having free time - everything he does is to do with work. Security for Vale, running Atlas, he’ll even the talks with Jacques are work related and to do with government business.

Of course Qrow has free time - he’s no longer a teacher. But he had to quit in order to have the free time to do the important stuff. I have friends in real life who are teachers - free time is a luxury they simply don’t have much of, even without extra stuff like Ozpin’s group, technically working a second job courtesy of also being a Huntsman and taking the occasional mission, and in Glynda’s case assisting with the running of he school.
