"So what do you do?" is usually the question that follows after two people are introduced to each other...and the reply may sound like,
"Oh, I'm a doctor..." or
"I'm a teacher..." or
"I'm a lawyer..." or "Accountant" or something of the sort...
I'm a X, or I'm a Y
If you sell shoes, then you're a shoe salesman
If you sell stocks, then you're a stockbroker
My point is that answering the question, "So What Do You Do?" is extremely limiting. I am not defined by what it is that I do. In the movie Uncle Buck the lead character is interviewed by a kid and answers the same question by saying, "I do lots of things,"
