I can't tell anyone what I do at my job.
I feel like this puts a barrier up in my relationships with people, especially since I spend 40+ hours of my week there. It's stressing me out.
Should I find a different job when my contract is up or is there an easier way to deal with it.

Lol, it's not because I'm ashamed of what I do.
I'm legally not allowed to talk about my job.

I'm about to start an intel job with the army, has it really been that bad not being able to talk your work?

If it's paying well, then fuck it. Who really cares about what profession you have, or what you do for money. As long as you're getting paid decently, then why should anyone, but yourself, care?

Whatever you do, there is a non-classified version of that. Just say you do that.

Well, someone isn't doing a good job.

Not really, I think I'm just letting the fact that my fuckups could have real consequences kind of get to me. I'm also passionate about my work, so that's one less thing I have that I would normally talk about.

Yeah, I tell people "network engineer". I guess maybe it's a hint I need to expand my life outside of work.

It pays OK. You're right, though I feel like when my friends ask "so what are you doing now" and I sidestep it, it's kind of off-putting.

Say something neutral but not totally inaccurate, like "I do dreary research for a big company" or "I write reports for the higher-ups" and change the subject.
