    “Having a job is not a social obligation.”

    “What do you do?” is the first question asked when meeting someone new.

        I noticed a gap in your resume. Why don’t you have an address? Do you have reliable transportation?

        Try getting married without a job? Try getting a home, a car, a bank loan without a job? Our whole society runs on jobs.

          Asking if you have reliable transportation can be fair, depending on the job.

          If you don’t work on a bus route and have to work in-person you need a reliable way to consistently get to work. If that’s your roommate dropping you off, that’s fine. But unless you’re gonna cycle on a gravel road in a thunderstorm a bicycle may not be.
