Les professions
In France, it is not generally polite to ask someone what they do for a living, as this is considered irrelevant where individual worth is concerned—especially in a nation where all citizens are equal. The notion is simply that no matter what you do, it should be done well, and that’s all. Unlike in the United States, it is never polite to ask someone what they earn. The following images represent various professions. Be sure that you can name each of them.
