In return he mentioned his brother works in finance and might be looking for a career change I gave him my card. Nothing may come from it or something may come from it. If I didn't strike a conversation I would have never known. Being polite and friendly to people is always a good strategy in life!

Have a buddy who worked in sales. Going out with him was a tiring endeavour, he would talk to anyone and everyone we had the smallest interaction with, cabbies, servers, people on the street, random people next to us at the bar. Long conversations too, I just want to buy a product or service from you I don't want your life story. I came out to the bar to talk to my buddy not everyone else in there, I stopped hanging out with him for awhile. He's calmed down now that he is management and doesn't live or die by commission.
