mike69spain: Not much to say, will perhaps do a full "report" in the future, but right now I am an apprentice in this field.

It's all about getting drinkable water, free de-politicised energy and useful fair education to those who lack means to achieve it on their own. To create small micro companies where they run and maintain the economy to grow an interest in their own communities well-being while they have an outcome from it..............

.....Feel free to join in - when you get a tired smile back from a far away corner in a forgotten forest behind the fog of the ever-after - then you know it has been worth it.

brucedavis57: high. I have known some people whose only since of self worth comes from their profession. they work long and hard, have very few interests outside their jobs. they retire, looking foreward to a new life and are absolutley misarable becuse they dont know what to do with all of that time. these people are always going to ask you what you do for a living. that would define who you are to them. then your looks. It is kinda superficial stuff. if you were a hit man or an ax murder it might be nice to know. But what the hell, as long as we had fun while I was in one piece, who cares. bruce


If I was an ax murderer I wouldn’t tell that in a chat to the first stranger passing by.grin

And yes, I’ve met people, usually it’s men, who have their profession as their identity. But that’s not the case for me, and therefore I’m reluctant to let someone I don’t know to identify me by my profession, or income related to it. I’m a woman and a mother first and foremost, then I’m a daughter and a friend. My job comes somewhere after that. Yes, it’s important for me, I have to eat and to pay my rent. But it doesn’t mean that my job substitutes my personality. It’s me who makes the place, not the other way round.

mike69spain: I do not do much for a living - it's there anyway, somehow

I have become increasingly involved in joining forces with the good people on this earth, in a troop effort to level unjust life quality and security for other people.

It is a good way to wake up - to know you can make a difference to someone.


Well… good luck!

Tulefel: Have got this question 3 times yesterday evening… Not that it was the first time… Actually it’s often the second question people ask, right after “How are you?”, 30 seconds into a first chat…

So I’m dying with curiosity: why do people want to know that? Are they employers looking for staff? Are they eager to offer a better opportunity straight away? Trying to figure out whether I’d be able to pay my meal in case they’d ask me out?..

Have you ever asked someone what they are doing for living? If yes, why?


Just tell them you are a psycho-analyst, and their question says much about them and their insecurities, then just sit back and see what they come up with next !! confused

Could make for a fun chat or a rather short one ! dunno

In my opinion is downright rude to ask, so unless someone volunteers the info, I will never ask.

Such a roundabout… tell ’em to sell their brassieres and send you money without any middle hand, the shortest way between two points is a straight line, isn’t it?

As a straight line curves in space............ then maybe a curved line can be straight? confused

Now, now… Don’t make it more sophisticated than it is. Let’s keep us to Euclidean way of thinking.

As the hostess of the thread I thought it would be impolite not to answer to a participant. Won’t repeat the mistake again.
