Actual Job vs What People Think You Do

Just curious what your title/registration is and how the majority of your day is spent vs what people think you do.  

I am an investment advisor. Most of my day is spent on the phone, moving money around for clients, and reading Argus, Credit Suisse, etc. 

Most people (especially older ones) say I am a stockbroker. My friends say I am a stockbroker that plays a lot of golf.

Anyone else have this humorous problem?
