When people ask me what I do for a job I always say I am a CMM programmer. This always leads to confused looks. So I usually follow up with "I measure stuff." If they have further questions I hit em with "essentially I perform complex measurements using the science of manufacturing (GD&T) by programming a machine to measure parts." After that there are no more questions.
If someone is curious beyond that then I will explain. I feel like most people don't really care what someone does, they just try to make small talk.
Also I am a very prideful person (which I work on constantly) so by not giving an elaborate explanation I don't feed my pride.
