Do you think that a job defines a person? And you might say that you don't judge them now, but unconsciously you do it either way? Like think about "low" jobs like janitors and stuff, or more "ethically wrong" jobs like strippers or adult stars. o_o

Does your opinion about people change when you find out what their job is?

Meh, I would like a person regardless of job. If it was a dangerous job, I'm sure they're the professional here, and it would be wrong to lecture them about it. In the end, it's their choice as well. D':

I don't really judge people by their jobs, but more for their personality and moral standards. To me, jobs are not really a way to express personality but more just for the sake of knowledge and money. I guess jobs do tell a little about the person, but the biggest scale is on the knowing.

A job certainly doesn't tell you everything about a person, but it does have some relevance to the person's values, ethics, etc. It's easy to misjudge people based on their job, though - I've been working for two churches for over four years, so you'd think I'm at least a little religious, but I'm not at all. 🤣

I've never worked before but I have volunteered for charity work. Does that mean that I'm a nice person because I do charity or doesn't it just mean that I don't need to do work yet because I don't need the money.

The only thing I use Jobs for defining someone is their level of intellect and also class. Sure if you see someone working at McDonalds you probably wouldn't think he/she studies Medicine at MIT but if they are a Doctor I generally would think that person is smart enough since his a Doctor right?

No they don't, its just another way of judging a book by its cover. If you do that you'll never get the whole story.

It can, though many people are stuck in jobs they were dealt, not because of personal choices. So it's unreliable in my opinion.

To an extent.

A job doesn't define a person - but a person defines a job.

The same job done by someone who loves doing it is completely different and produces results of a much higher standard, plus it actually reflects something about the person doing that job.

On the other hand, a job done without passion by someone who might as well be doing something else is a lot less meaningful, and the results won't be as god.

I think it's people who define themselves, not external things like jobs/property/fashion/appearance etc. So if a person infuses their job with meaning, THEN it has meaning. Otherwise not.
