At the Guardian, Heather Long suggests we stop the typically American practice of asking everyone we meet what they do. We make our jobs our identity, she observes, and that’s a bad idea. I agree.

A note: Heather has been my editor in recent months, and she’s leaving for CNN. I wish her the best and thank her for being a superb editor.
