What do you do?
This seems rather over-important in some ways because there is a social order to jobs and it can tell you about how much money a person makes. But simply stating, I am an administrative assistant, “does not say about how we occupy these positions or about what they mean to us.” (p.9). The how part is important because you can be a lawyer, but you can be a GREAT lawyer, or a really bad one and so there IS a difference. The ‘what they mean to us’ is important because we all know that some of the ‘lowest-status’ jobs can be the most fulfilling. ~Tina Bash
