[quote=Anonymous][quote]I now live elsewhere, but I used to live in DC. I never get asked this question, and I have learned not to ask it of others either. People ask you how you are doing, about your family, what you did for the weekend, what you think of the issues in the news, etc.[/quote] I don't know. If you are talking to someone in their 20s or early 30s, they might not have kids, and asking what they do for a living is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask. In any case, I don't see any reason to be so defensive about it. Careers are a way that a lot of people spend a lot of their time and energy and thought (and this is not unique to DC), so it seems like a reasonable way to make small talk. It's like asking where are you from originally, or commenting on the weather.[/quote]
