I just decided to start asking this instead of ‘what do you do?’ when meeting people. Figured I’d try it out on you folks.

      Disagree. Or at least, that’s just a side effect. I like talking to people about their expertise.

      I definitely didn’t read it that way from the post. I thought it was about your hobbies and creative interests. I guess you could infer social strata by whether the answerer has time and disposable income for hobbies. Some don’t require much investment, but it’s usually more than none.

      People in manufacturing and r&d quite like the question, I’d reckon. I wouldn’t relate it to social status.
