How do you explain what you do to your relatives?
iamdave: As vaguely as possible."What do you do?"
"I build things"
"Like what?"
"Things that no one really needs but are willing to pay for"
"Oh"Versus"What do you do?"
"I work with computers"
invariably "Oh great, I downloaded a bunch of stuff that I really didn't even need just because the button told me to and now I have a virus, can you fix it?"to which my answer will be"No because I'm out of your pay grade".
