walk of life
One's professional domain
A walk of life is a person's occupation, social position, or general station in society.
The phrase almost always appears in the plural to emphasize variety: People from all walks of life attended the rally.
It suggests the full range of human circumstances—rich and poor, educated and not, every profession and background.
