Is "Your dad seems like a tourist" also valid?

Thanks. Hard facts among the levity!

[fuchsbai]

why there is an "en"? i noticed in Swedish, EN or ETT is usually emitted in front of a social status, like..."han är ingenjör" rather than "han är en ingenjör"

then why in this case, there is an "en"?

I think because being a tourist is not a job, it is not something you do permanently.
