What is the occupation, profession or office that provides (or provided) you the largest income?</span><br /><br />It is important that the response to this question is asked for with as much detail as possible since very general responses do not give the information that is required.<br /><br />Avoid non precise answers such as "Worker", "Employee", "Public bureaucrat", "Boss", etc. If a person tells you that they are a worker in a factory, you should determine exactly what duty they perform.<br /><br />For occupation, office or profession, a complete description is needed. This is especially important when it concerns little known activities for which it is necessary to add to it a concept that makes it more precise. Examples: insurance agent, guide operator, automobile cleaner, journalist, couturier, mailman, mechanical engineer, surveyor, fisher, pediatric doctor, hairdresser, secretary, street peddler of candy, operator of textile machinery, bricklayer, etc.<br /><br />If a person has more than one occupation, write down the occupation that provides the largest income.<br /></svar>
