Lazy, entitled people who don't work enough but no one else wants to do it.

Re: How does the general public view your job

[feotakahari]

Most frequently, a boring, tedious job performed by boring, tedious people. Less frequently, a job full of liars and scammers.

They think I can tell them how they should invest their money (I don't work with investments, so...no. I can't).

I'm in web development, and ... honestly pop culture has a pretty accurate take on what my department is like. We're a bunch of nerds making nerdy jokes at each other, working in cubicles surrounded by fun gadgets that most of the world would find pointless, randomly drawing robots on stuff, putting on a cheerful face and "can-do!" attitude for those who we do web work for and then as soon as they're gone? Griping about or mocking them for their utter ineptitude with computers, poor design taste, unrealistic demands, etc. Also coding "beta" versions of stuff full of internet memes and unflattering pictures of each other. So, you know, we're totally stereotypical programmers.

(Although my group is actually not the "overweight and never sees the light of day" programmer archetype, as the employer is big on employee wellness, and so everyone gets like an hour a day to go to the gym and work out on the clock, and we're free to have meetings while hiking through the nature preserve out back of the property, and one of the "pointless but fun" gadgets that a couple people in the department now have are those desks that are basically a computer tray attached to a treadmill, so you can walk a few miles while you program. And me and one of the guys are heavily into some of the regional sports teams. So we're like these weird nerd/jock hybrids.)

I work with lab animals for biomedical research...so I don't really like to mention it to people on the internet.

Slightly more trustworthy than lawyers, but not as high on the ladder as doctors.

Re: How does the general public view your job

The job I sort of have, but am not doing right now (will be again soon)? Dead-end job for many, temporary/placeholder for others.

White trash meth-head con-artists, mostly.

Re: How does the general public view your job

[nyxelestia]

Most of my previous jobs amounted to tutoring, which means people come to me expecting to get straight-A's/turn their kids into straight-A students, without realizing that all I can guarantee for them as "you won't fail if you listen to me" and everything else is really on the student*. It got even worse when, for a while, I got a reputation for "tutoring the un-tutorable" (which was a very strange situation in its own right).

Most of my future jobs will probably entail people calling me a sociopath, a dumb liar, or both.

* = tutoring underclassmen while I was in high school was a lesson in just how many kids view education - namely that they see themselves as empty vessels to be filled and don't realize that they need to participate, interact with materials in some capacity, or study
