One of the most common questions in American small talk is seen as rude in much of the world
I enjoyed this article, so I thought I would post it here. I always fear the moment someone is going to ask me what I do for a living. Its never easy to explain, and its so rare that I have a job that is interesting to talk about. I had no idea that it was a taboo subject in other countries. I have to say that is pretty awesome. Here in USA we do have a rule about not demanding information about Religion and Politics of people who aren't good friends, but I think we need to add this one. I think we should not ask new acquaintances to explain what they do for a living.
