i don't think the problem is someone asking what you do, i think the bigger issue is feeling good enough about yourself to answer the question (whatever that answer may be) and not be so affected by the reaction of whoever asked.

there are very few people in this world whose opinions i really care about. if someone wants to judge me or have a negative reaction to me, be it my job, education level or appearance, that's their problem, not mine. i define who i am. i can't control what others think and i try not to waste any time or energy on it.
