Sure as long as the interest is genuine and doesn’t come across as perfunctory. They usually know what I do for a living, and some aspects probably creep guys out. But some questions come up, and it’s a good chance for me to ask questions about his work. Some guys don’t want to “talk shop” during a date and that’s fine too.
Briefly. Just be like, “So do you work?” Yes. “You?“ Yes. “Is it legal?” Yes. “Does it involve hoeing?” No. There, nuff said. I mean down the road, i’d like us to ask eachother if we make stable income enough to afford our own bills. But thats it. I dont need to know how much he makes and vice versa
I don't think it's a requitement to talk about each others job for me, but I don't mind the topic at all; so long as I don't feel that the other person is only focused on money, as I value wealth probably the least in anyone, and prefer to be treated in the same way (esp by a potential future partner).
Like it or not, in our society work occupies around half of our waking hours, at least. Don't let work monopolize the conversation, but talking about work a bit is just fine.
It is for this reason people should not do work they don’t enjoy. We spend too much time at work to hate what we do.
Also keep in mind that some peoples work is a vocation- something they want to do, not just something they do for a paycheck- its part of their identity.
@loves2learn we wrote similar comments at the same time. I work in live event design and theatrical lighting design, and for the most part I find my work very fulfilling, and I'm very passionate about it. Asking me not to talk about "work" is asking me not to talk about a large part of who I am.
Yes indeed. I am sure you have gathered from what I write on here that I enjoy helping people. I arrange events for financial advisors and they are so appreciative for my help. 🥰
