How can you meaningfully ignore the thing that people spend most of their time doing? Nearly 60 hours of approximately 110 waking hours in a week are doing something work related. You spend more time in pure hours with coworkers than you do with any other group of people in your life. All of that shapes you as a human being in various ways. Where people work is absolutely important and I don't shy away from talking about work. Even if you're a simple fisherman, that's interesting. It leads to talk about area of expertise, and ultimately talk about the world and perspectives.
- minikites 8y agoIf someone's occupation is important to them, they'll naturally volunteer the information. So many people are underemployed these days or just trying to make ends meet in the "gig economy" that they'd rather talk about anything else in the world. Many people aren't proud of their occupation and it's awkward (bordering on rude) to press them on it.
