That's an interesting stance. I always thought that the occupation topic is an easy/safe (well unfortunately not for most SPs) conversation starter. If my question is not too intrusive, why do you mind the question? I know some people can use the question to try and gauge other people's economic status.

I find it a bit inquisitive to know about what I do, in the first meeting. And then they gauge your economic status(you are on point there)
I need to know a person better to share my occupation/source of income etc.
Maybe its just me.

This is also my other issue with the current "dating" and even friendship environment. people ask this question to gage what level of respect to give you and whether to take you seriously or not. Most of the time they're comfortable with what you say you do and who you are until you do or say something they don't like.
I am friends with people high up with phds and careers that pay them over 50 000 a month for example. And I have friends with jobs that just get them through the month. The conversations may be different but I treat them with the exact same respect. I tend to not ask people the "what do you do" question because I don't want anyone asking me. There's alot of other things we can talk about and still have a good time.

I can 100% relate with this. And it's something you see very clearly with family. The asshole uncle who's a doctor gets tolerated and listened to much more than the sweet uncle who's a security guard.

I reply with:
" Lmfao, my occupation darling is way to expensive for you to know about" (get a curious, yet suspicious look on the face) " No come on really, what do you do for a living."
" I used to be a semi skilled cnc mashine operator, {for real no jokes} but now im a semi qualified sex therapist, ......
Qualified in the sex part and semi in the therapist part"
