I’ve often tried to explain exactly what I do to groups of people and usually end up getting somewhat of a blank stare in response.  Either I tend to make it too simple: “I work as a missionary on the Internet” OR I make it too complicated: “I help to build, code and maintain the back-end PHP/MySQL based systems and API’s that enable our ministry to engage with website visitors who find us on the Internet.”

My Job Description: Web Developer

I found this video recently and thought it did a really great job of explaining some of the technical aspect of my work.  AND it’s entertaining!  The video is designed for new developers, but the first 3-4 minutes do an excellent job explaining a bit of what I do on a day-to-day basis.  I think you’ll enjoy it.  http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/so-you-want-to-be-a-developer-part-1
