The "What do you do for a living?" question

**CCC4me** · 12-12-2013, 11:19 PM

This is for all the part time pros here.

Curiosity has me wondering, how do you answer that in a purely social situation?

Does your "main" job get the attention and networking possibilities, or does the detailing? Or, do you spit an earful out all at once: "I'm a(n) _______ (network engineer, accountant, figure model, etc.) and I detail cars."

I'm not a pro, nor a part-time pro, BUT depending on the situation I might want to network my full time job or my detailing job. (And have business cards for both)

I'm a table games dealer. If I did start a detailing business, it would be really easy to spread the word. Hmmmm

Talent scout at a ##### house... jk

I work for a company that produces feedwater heaters and condensers for power plants. We do a few other applications also but that is our main focus. My exact job is laying out parts to be ran on machines. You remember that math in high school you'll never use? I USE IT!
