This is a great post, and so much of it echoes my own experiences: When you have no pat answer for "What do you do," are you really doing anything? But I do a lot of things actually, I just don't get paid to do them. I actually contribute in a lot of ways that are de/undervalued by society, and it's been so helpful to me to learn more about how those values get assigned, helping me to recognize my contributions - and the contributions of others - that have been sidelined and to realize their importance.
