I just hate being asked what I do for a living. What's the point? So one of us can be like "Oh.." and subconsciously feel below the other person?

Oh, the burden of other peoples thoughts~

I always find it weird when someone asks for my, or answers with their, profession. Because that usually says very little about someone. A better question is what someone likes to spend their free time with.

Most people have something they are passionate about. And the weirder, the better. Because weird hobbies are something that many feel judged for. But engaging positively with someones isopod collection, really tends to get people out of their shell.

It becomes something to bond over and it's much more interesting than "train conductor".
