I definitely hear you guys. I hate people who have an agenda when it comes to this.

I ask what a person does for a living, but I dont judge them by it… my ex was a sanitation worker.. and he works his butt off! That was a great thing to me! Plus he gets to retire early!! lol If your just asking to assume about how much someone makes, then its wrong. But sometimes where a person works does say alot about them (if they are in a field that they chose to be in).

@KT- its not just an NYC thing..snobbery is global.
I would actually rather have someone hesitate to continue a conversation from the jump after they find out what I do, what neighborhood I live in , or how much money I have…cause they areignorant and I dont need those type of ppl in my circle.
I know its different for the fellas, from what i understand ego & career are pretty much intertwined…but the same prinicple applies, you dont want a woman by your side that has hang ups about job titles, because they will have hangups about other flippant bs as well.

It is a very NYC thing! but with the new economic climate i’m not sure that’s much of a conversation starter these days. I recalled attending an event during the boom days and ppl would introduce themselves and mention their careers: hi i’m John CFO of Ecko. Seriously I thought it was the shallowest thing ever. Needless to say, the party was whack and everyone was scoping the room out for the “need to know person” to interact with. I think the one thing this economic decline has done is- it’s made well paid white collar workers realize that they are not invincible and that their careers and salaries are as vulnerable as the rest of the general economy.
Maybe now we can actually have that conversation.
