These past few days, I realized that I essentially have no idea what my husband actually does for a living. I know he’s a businessman and involved in different industries; that’s about it. I guess I was never curious, as long as he brings money home + he doesn’t talk about work when he’s not working. I just don’t really have any interest in business.
I think that if you don’t do the same job at some point in time or have really deep insight in the industry/job, you newer know what he’s doing.
From my work experience I can say that most work tasks I had wasn’t that simple (if I don’t count the “human robot” type summer jobs).
Even some simple sounding job titles hide lot of different tasks most people don’t talk about or even don’t think about.
For example I was brew master in small brewery (3 people including myself) - you would think I was there to only make beer, my boss deals with paperwork, and my colleague is there for maintenance and cleaning. In reality I was more of Jack of all trades - maintanance, planning, cleaning, sanitation, kegging, helped with tasks you wouldn’t think about.
And I think business man covers lots of different tasks that are quite boring so I wouldn’t mind not knowing about them.
