How do you tell people what you do?

cheesiechanman
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.

What is your go to description of what you do?

  • I check and verify parts for military armored vehicles. So, for my non military friends, I tell them I check parts for the military and if I tell them any more I will have to kill them... and no there are no aliens. For my military friends, I tell them I make sure the their tanks don't fall apart.... and I want to hang out with the aliens.

    So far it has worked... except I still haven't met those aliens the military is supposedly hiding.Alien
