I am an IT Technician, I guess I would explain my job as being a scollar and a teacher.

I (a software engineer) sit at a table and pound my fingers against an object for many hours a day. That’s it.

I work for a training department for a large financial institution. I think I could explain it as teaching people how to do their job better. Though I don't actually do much teaching, personally.

I do qa for headsets so uh... Imagine a painting that moves. Now imagine instead of seeing the world, there was a device that makes you only see those moving paintings. I make sure that device and the paintings work well together.

If anyone knows of any kind of animation technique from that era that would help with the description. But even flip books wouldn't be invented for like 150 more years so 🤷‍♀️ Maybe I could find a nice painting and give the person a bunch of mushrooms and be like "this but different"

I'd have to go through a bunch of concepts about light, moving motion and photography in general but I'm sure we'd get there eventually.

People who try to work together fail to do it well, so I help them understand why this happens, so that they can do better.

I'd say, Beethoven on "steroids"

I create drawings of the enclosure of machines and contraptions, you know, the knobs and switches and all those things, and then instruct machines to assemble those machines according to the drawings.

I make energy (a word describing the measure of the invisible magic which makes sea waves happen, the sensation of warmth of the sun on your skin, and the effort you put into lifting heavy rocks) move around really, really, really fast, and lots and lots of it too.

Controlling this 'energy' is a difficult task because if you give it even a little chance, 'energy' will escape in the easiest, most useless way possible. Half my job is planning how to prevent energy from escaping without doing something useful first.
