At a family BBQ, my cousin dismissed CNC operating as babysitting machines.
He said our job is just hitting start and waiting. I told him it involves precise setup, constant watching, and fast fixes when things go wrong. What's the most dumb thing someone has said about your work?

My aunt said my accounting is just adding numbers. She ignores all the rules and careful checking involved. Why do people always oversimplify real work?

People miss the details until they see what happens. A friend's tax audit showed me how wrong numbers cause real problems. The rules are there for a reason.

Three months into my first real job I told my dad "it's just counting beans" and he handed me a spreadsheet with a 14 cent mistake that took me two hours to find. Never said that again after I saw how one small error can mess everything up in a bank reconciliation.
