I’ve always tried to phrase it as “What do you do?”, skipping the “for a living” part. That opens it up to more than just work. It could be “What do you do for a hobby?”, or “What do you do for fun?”, or “What do you do in your free time?”, etc.
Sure, it’s not the best conversation starter, but when I know nothing about someone, it’s a good way to get the ball rolling.

Got ghosted every single time I asked what they did for fun.
Huh, weird. I haven’t dated in a looooong time, so I cant say if anything would be off about that.
