You know what really rustles my jimmies, the fact that a lot of people (especially older people) disregard your profession or refuse to talk about because "i dont understand dem computers" so they generally have no idea what you're actually doing and you cannot give an explanation.

Ffs, I don't really understand chemistry but I would still like to know what you do at work/school and maybe even learn sonething. There is no fucking reason for why this also shouldnt apply for IT.

    Yes! I'm so tired of being ignored like I'm in a different caste.

    I guess I'm one of those people, but of the younger crowd. If you want to talk to me about some interesting tech, great! But I don't give a fuck about your job, talk to me about who you are as a person. If that doesn't make sense, start with why you like your job and go from there. The minutiae about your (and my) day-to-day is frankly boring to anyone that doesn't at least work in the same industry.

    @afreitas ++ > I also care more about people than their jobs, but it's annoying to feel like some won't accept either.

    @ClemFrieckie Appreciate your perspective. What really gets me off is that time and time again I would ask people about their work or studies, but they immediately wave of the topic once I reveal my line of works. I wouldn't really care if it didn't happen so often.
