Instead of asking "What do you do?" I like to ask, "What do you like to geek out about?" or "What could you talk about for hours?"

a lot of these questions are awful, but "what do you do for a living" isn't a great question either.

If it's someone I see semi-regularly, I ask "What's been keeping you busy lately?"
