I was talking to a girl I thought I liked. We were having a great conversation about ourselves and such. Then she asked me what I did for a living. I told her. She looked to the floor and I could see that the interest she had in me had immediately waned. I hate that sometimes I feel ashamed of my livelihood. It's hard for people not to be ignorant when you work in a field no one has heard of. It still hurts though.

b'ye thats just some horse shit right there. I don't like her. I know that not everyone knows what a sprinklerfitter is, but I don't see why that would make her lose interest. Next time, point out the sprinklers and say "those things prevent you from burning alive, and I put them there.....thats my job".
Don't sweat it. Maybe she was just embarrassed because you have what you describe as a "livelihood". Maybe she has a McJob and didn't think you'd take HER seriously.
