NOT A TEACHER

(1) Maybe I am wrong, but this is how I interpret the difference:

(a) There are a lot of strange people at my job. = I am referring to the people who work

with me at a particular location. In other words, "There are a lot of strange people at my

company."

(b) There are a lot of strange people in my job. = I am referring to the people who

have decided to do my kind of work. In other words, "There are a lot of strange people

in my profession."
