Episode: 128. What Do You Do For A Living?
Description: âWhat do you do (for a living)?â â Itâs one of the most common questions youâll get asked as an adult at social gatherings. Doesnât matter if itâs a bar, a cafĂ©, a networking event, or a family reunion. Work tends to be what occupies the majority of peopleâs time, so naturally, this is what people will ask about when meeting each other for the first time. But as I get older, I tend to appreciate this question less and less because although itâs meant to be a conversation starter, it usually has the opposite effect.
