We work in a shop.
When we are talking about a field of work, we say:
"I work in" + field of work.
He works in marketing.
She works in finance.
As we’ve just seen, when we talk about our place or field of work, we say “I work
in…“. However, when we give our job title we use the verb “to be”, so we say:
I'm a teacher.
You're a doctor.
Are you a designer?
