Starting from the beginning of this month a “What I Really Do” meme has been going around (spread especially actively via Facebook), reflecting “a range of preconceptions associated with” various fields of “occupation or expertise” — from photographers and graphic designers to directors and entrepreneurs [more here].
So I’ve decided to put one together for affiliates too:

Have I missed anything/anyone?
AWESOME! This is so true, Geno. GREAT graphic!
totally!
That’s awesome, and so true! Great job!
Todd, Linda, Heather, glad you liked it. Thank you for your comments, FB “likes” and “shares”. It looks like it’s already going viral!
Yea that about hits the nail on the head 🙂
That is a nice graphic. I’m interested in what pictorial you have in mind for “What my children think I do?”. 🙂 It is often interesting to see the sketches by children of what their parents do.
Yep thats great, juggling , decisions, prioritizing, etc, I’ve given up trying to explain to those who are unfamiliar with marketing online.
Chris, David, Sharon, glad you’ve enjoyed it. Speaking of what kids think, I actually held a contest on this topic back in 2009, and you can review it here. May be I will, indeed, create a “pictorial” to go with some of the entries submitted then. Thank you for the idea.
Geno, Thanks for referring me to that other page – it was an interesting read. Trying to explain what I used to do in the corporate world was even harder to explain to my parents. It took years for them to finally understand “software” – the simple answer for years was that I made telephones ring.
You nailed it. Personally I think the last picture needs more balls. (pun intended)
Bill 🙂
Hahah love it! :)Thank you!
Wow! This is spot on… LOL!
