What Do You Do? I Sell Gears!

This year, my 11-year-old daughter asked me to be one of the parents who presented their profession on career day. She is very proud of her dad and wanted to show all of her classmates the cool job that her dad had. After all, being a gear engineer is just as cool as being a firefighter, or a police officer, or a teacher, or a social worker, or an orthodontist. The biggest difference between being a gear engineer and all of these other professions is that the others are all public-facing professions that people have a good understanding of, whereas they have little or no understanding of what a gear engineer is or does.
