Just curious, what do you guys actually do for a living?
Scrolling through comments here, you can tell there’s a huge mix of people, some clearly technical, some more creative, some who sound like they’ve been in the working world for decades, others who feel like students or early in their career.
No particular reason for asking, just genuinely curious what kind of professions make up this community. Feel free to keep it as vague or specific as you’re comfortable with.
Drop your profession below, and if you want, one thing about it people usually don’t expect.
I’m a parish priest in the Episcopal Church.
Lots of people assume priests only work on Sundays. They also assume that we don’t have much of a life outside of the priesthood. I get that sometimes when I’m getting dressed after surfing (“you guys can surf?”). I also have a wife and four kids, which also surprises people (my wife and I sometimes meet up for lunch dates and I always get amused when I see someone who thinks they’ve happened upon some scandal in the making).
