Job Alias

[Licentia]

What ideas do you guys have for a job alias?

I need a suggestion for a night shift job that I can tell people and I won't hear anyone say: "oh, I work there and I don't recognize you." or "Oh, do you know so and so that works there?"

Some sort of reclusive job, not super high pay, like maybe a security guard wouldn't be too bad, but again someone else might work with that company.

Any ideas?

Tell they you are a pimp.

That's ridiculous, no one would ever believe that.

Now... an accountant for a box manufacturer... that might be believable.

edit: but for reals, if you don't want people grilling you, try for a job that no one would want you to talk to them about. Like sales. Or something boring. And then when they obviously have no interest in it, keep talking to them about it just to drive the point home that they really shouldn't have gotten into your business.

Yes I Know, They are large facilties with many employees. It should be a job that no one would question, preventing small talk, or questions you cannot answer.

How often do you get interrogated?

I can only think of one instance in the last year or so when a dealer asked me what I do for a living, and it was more smalltalk than anything else, as I was playing heads up.
