Are they really thinking you are lazy? I suppose it could be in some circles but I find most people to be curious and interested. I often answer art or pt art teacher (don't do teaching t anymore so that is past) when I can. My ft job is database engineering but I don't want to talk about it so I minimize or don't mention it. And anyway people that aren't in it don't understand it and don't really care. Hah... I dare say they could see me as a sellout!
