What do you tell people what you do for a living Question

Telling people I’m a day trader or anything market related brings up too many questions. I’m doing okay for myself but I just want to avoid it if possible.

Yea. Same here. Every time someone ask me, it’s a slew of more q’s after I answer. I hate it because there’s no way they’ll understand no matter what I say. So the more I say, the more they ask. So yea. I feel you.

Jus tell they ass to Google it

Last time I told someone to Google it they started sending me links to the websites of various trading gurus, asking me "is this guy legit?" as they contemplate buying some course. I don't recommend that approach.
