I have accepted this question as inevitable, but I don't really like it either. It doesn't bother me now nearly as much as it did a year ago. At the time I was working a crappy ass job that an 18-year-old could do, and I wasn't proud of it. I started to dread meeting new people because I knew they would ask that and I didn't want to answer it. It was just embarassing to have a college degree and admit to working where I did. Not cool.
I still think it's a crappy question, and I don't generally ask it at the beginning of a conversation, but at least now I'm not embarassed to answer it.
