Oh yes, I usually end up saying "I work in insurance" because any more specific than that and people look at me with question marks in their faces

Same here! It gets complicated very quickly, so I usually just say "I work in insurance" and leave it there unless they ask more questions. If they do, it doesn't take long before their eyes start to glaze over and I change the topic to something more accessible.

It's nice to find a fellow "insurance worker" amidst all them software engineers/ IT guys here on Lemmy 😄

There are dozens of us! (...maybe. I don't actually have any data to back that up. You're the only other one I've come across!)
