I agree. It's never been the first question asked and is usually during a conversation about house plans and how you deal with your particular model/yard/garage/lanai, etc. I have to say we have never even been asked what we did for a living when meeting new people. I don't usually find out much about people's backgrounds until we're sitting around on the pickle ball court waiting for our next game, and people start chatting.
