					<description><![CDATA[It usually happens in a very ordinary moment. Someone asks what you do. At dinner. On a train. Between two meetings. You answer almost automatically, but not quite. There is always that tiny pause before the sentence lands. »I’m a lawyer.« »I’m in health care.« »I’m a carpenter.« »I work in marketing.« It sounds like a small difference. It isn’t. Because in that moment, you are not just sharing information. You are revealing a relationship to your work, and maybe to yourself. Lately, I have been seeing more and more versions of the same argument: don’t say »I am« when it comes to work. Say »I work as.« The line is usually delivered as a small act of wisdom. A sign that someone has thought deeply about identity, freedom, and the danger of reducing a whole person to a title. And almost everyone seems ready to applaud. We hear a sentence like that and immediately assume reflection. Maturity. Self-determination. Emotional health. I’m not so sure. We Applaud the Sentence Before We Examine It Of course &#8230;]]></description>
