One of the first questions Americans ask when they meet someone new is
“What do you do?” A person’s job is closely linked to their identity in the
United States, as revealed by a survey where the majority of respondents
claimed that their job was somewhat or very important to their overall
identity. John Stapleton, the author of “How Americans View Their Jobs”,
hypothesized that people would likely see their work as more integral to
their identity if they received more education. He reasoned that this is a
symptom of the “sunken-cost” fallacy: The more time or money we spend
on something, the more we care about it.
