Being a teacher is an identity. Being a programmer is an identity. Descriptively speaking, without even thinking about why things happen some way, people identify themselves and others with their work. Being homeless is an identity too.

One could maybe argue the same for teaching (although ironically teachers face much more scrutiny about their behavior than cops, despite not having the power over life or death), but not for programming or homelessness.
