Both of my parents passed away without ever having the slightest clue what I was paid for! It still saddens me when I hear others talk with pride about their children's work

Just because they didn't understand your work doesn't mean that they didn't have immense pride in what you do.

But when I meet people for the first time, I tell them I am "Music critic for Exchange & Mart"
This has two advantages: first, the conversation doesn't plummet immediately, and second I don't get asked to fix their computer...
And for the gullible ones, you can see how long you can keep them believing:
"It's hard to get a meaningful criticism into 25 words"
"I'm thinking of quitting, it's choosing me a fortune"

"I don't think my family really knows what I do" 
They just know I am a software developer (by position ) but don't know, what I actually do in my organization, they keep asking me, "How do you spent so many hours on a single chair and a computer ?"
Look at the Height of discernment
Once my sister laptop failed to start, she shout on me, 'You are working in computer industry, I dont know anything...Just start my laptop' (wow, people think 'Developer' can do anything with computer now )
