[quote=Anonymous]Questions about where someone goes to school or works are small talk but they are small talk from generally poor communicators (if they are asked early in a conversation anyway). Asking more open ended questions about how people are doing, how they are spending their time, and what they've been enjoying lately will yield much better conversations and will get the answers about where someone works or goes to school in a discussion that flows rather than one with one word answers. In my experience, direct questions to kick off a conversation specifically about where someone goes/went to school or works are asked by people with questionable self esteem who want to be asked that question to not so subtly humble brag.
