So during the first class of any semester, usually everybody goes around the room and introduces themselves to their classmates and says what they do for work, fun, etc...I'm thinking of just telling everyone I'm a waitress or something, but people always want to know WHERE! I live in a town w/three stoplights and go to school at a campus center that has six classrooms. I drive the hour to work at the closest club (in Buffalo NY)....I don't feel uncomfortable sharing my profession, but I don't know what I should do to shield myself from the barrage of interrogations that are sure to follow, and I also don't want to scare my surrounding rednecks, as they are an easily ruffled bunch who are considered 'downright rebellious' for being in 'that school' to begin with...especially if they happen to be female...I'll figure something out, but I did want to ask,
Do you feel uncomfortable discussing what you do in group situations such as these?

Or why not just shrug and say you're a full time student, like lots of people?
But I wouldn't share in the classroom... you just never know.
