--explanation--

Ángela says ¿Y tu profesión?, a short follow-up question. Y connects this question to the previous topic.

Even though she does not say ¿Cuál es...?, the full question is understood from context:

¿Cuál es tu profesión?

In conversation, Spanish often omits repeated words when the meaning is clear.
