Does your work define you?
Do you define stranger by what s/he do for living?

Heck no, half the time you don't get much of a choice, you take what there is.
I'm a porta-potty sucker-outer.
J/k. I'm not. I feel for that guy though. I've dropped my share of good news in them though...poor guy.

That depends. In some cases, a person's occupation expresses his/her interest in a field or the passion about something or the level of intelligence. On the other hand, some people endured unfortunate events that prevent them landing their dream job.

Sometimes I find that a person's choice of carreer really does suit them. Other times I wonder why the heck they are doing what they do. So to answer your question....
sometimes.
I'm a psw and I think it totally defines me...I was made for it!

In some cases yes, but not everyone's occupation reflects who they are as a person.

We say that, "we are as we work" which means that your work defines you. That's why you call some people Teachers, Doctors, Lawyers etc.
Your work basically socialises you and defines how people relate with you.

No. I think sometimes the job you have is just the job you gotta take. I'm in a non-glamourous, dead end job and feel like I am completely where I am not supposed to be, but I am where I am because I need to pay the bills.

Only if s/he lets it! Some people have distinct separations between work and personal life and some do not.

it certainly plays a big part in what they are like i think. people change when they have a lot of money.... for example a doctor. but it's not everything and i think some people need to realise that! :]

to a certain extent - yes, but mostly people are in wrong occupations. even then you can tell.
