There is a popular street lingo which people use to describe their working lifestyles - "ijob yijob", which literally translates to "a job is a job".
You might find this a bit odd or must I say offish..., But society has an array of misconceptions when it comes to a person's job.
Hold your horses. Many people are of the notion that those who work at distilleries or breweries are always drunk as they are supposedly permitted to drink zingakashayi (before knocking off).
Some people believe that when one works for for an airline, they get a free pass to travel the world. Ziyakhala ke manje.
"They think you can just dial up any politician and have a chat about anything, but this is not always the case. I think, in most instances, those who build relationships with politicians are reporters, not necessarily news anchors."
What sort of job do you do and what are some of the misconceptions that people have about your job?
