The foreigners I've know have not had that taboo. Conversely, Americans immediately ask everyone "what they do" (which seems like an indirect question about your salary) and the foreigners I've know usually don't ask that, or not so quickly, maybe because your occupation is more tied to class in other cultures?<br /><br />Anyway I would be very reluctant to try to make a living off my hobby. Once it turns into work, I think it would lose a lot of its luster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656359567715416766.post-33184963110936924992011-04-26T06:57:38.842-05:002011-04-26T06:57:38.842-05:00If you look at J.A.

I think there's certainly a reasonable reticence people have, but a lot of times it borders on the absurd to me. But then again, as a government employee as well, my salary is available to anyone who makes a concerted effort to find it.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.com
