what do you make?

And if someone were to approach you and ask ‘what do you make?’ and you were to reply ‘oh, I make things and I make them as well as I can’, chances are the questioner would be at a loss for words. Because the question ‘what do you make?’ is really about how much you earn or how big your bonus is, not ‘what do you make?’ at all.
