Consulting area, but I won't say specifically what.
I also don't say specifically what area I live in, or specifically my age, weight or what I look like.
We have lots of people who are not our friends that read here B84, so I keep most of the specifics private.

A smart philosophy, that I subsribe to as well.
Anything people don't know about you, can't use against you.
In a forum like FR, the discussion should focus on opinions, discussions, facts supporting points of view, political or business philosophies, NOT personal information, which is irrelevant.
People shouldn't be asking for it, and especially shouldn't be insistent, after you politely declined to provide it. It's none of anyone's business.
Not to mention that people can claim to be anything anyway.
I think we have a very large range of people in education, income, various professions, age, etc. that's what makes discussions interesting and valuable, not someone revealing some particular personal info, even their profession.
