trademark.

It's interesting how people define themselves. When you're filling out an application for something, and you are asked about the occupation you have, is what we write really true? Myself, along with thousands of others, would write "Student" in that little box.

Obviously, there are all sorts of students - undergraduate, graduate, arts, sciences, fashion, engineering, etc.

What if there are sub-boxes? Just a thought.

When you meet someone new, we define ourselves, to them. Why is it then that legally we become universal characters, but personally we are now "Sam the soccer player" and "Juliet the dancer". As much as we are all different, there is a universal connecting thread of defining characteristics.

Doesn't it make more sense to define ourselves by interest instead of being shut into certain categories? Perhaps then, things would be more tailored or something in means of who we are as people, not just economic status.
