That is sad. Too many people identify themselves with their jobs, even feeling like we had to justify raising a family by giving it a title.

It certainly can be a touchy topic. What if someone hates their job or is ashamed of what they do? Or what if a guy loves being a garbage collector, so winds up having to defend his career choice all the time?
We knew a funeral director who stopped accepting social invitations, because either people would be uncomfortable talking to him, pester him with questions, or make the same tired jokes. It was sad, because honestly, they were the most fascinating couple you could ever meet!
