This is simply bs, sorry for being blunt.

When you're conversing, sooner or later the topic will switch to professions. And there is no taboo in this area.

Asking a stranger about his occupation (esp. if the answer could be - judging by circumstances, appearance or whatever - that she/he has not been as lucky as you regarding jobs/skills) is considered impolite though.
