Que te dedicas?

The reason that I love studying Spanish is that it seems that there is always a way of putting the words that make the good seem better and the bad seem not so terrible. Today, the first question that I was asked is "que te dedicas" to what do you dedicate yourself to or as English speakers would say " what do you do". Maybe it's just me, but I think starting to ask people the question " to what do you dedicate yourself to?" could be a good way to get people to think about choices that they make perhaps we would have people who are pursuing careers for more than just the money. The idea of making as much money as possible is something that is associated with Americans. Maybe instead of worrying about making as much as possible, we should think about how we want to dedicate our lives.
