I ask what did you do for a living very often. I'm always hoping someone says teacher. It's not like they are from my home town, but their is a special connection between teachers.

And I like to learn about other careers too.
I would not ask someone their religion or politics. But if I find out I'm golfing with a chef or a photographer, and trying real hard not to be too nosy, I may pick their brain.
