Using the Up-Goer Five Test Editor:

I help people tell computers how to see how big things are. The computers do this by touching the things many times with a little stick all over. I also make sure that they tell the computers how to do this in the right way. It is important that the computers get the right answer for how big things are, so the things can be used in making other things.

That was harder than I would have imagined it to be. Ended with:

I make the computers go.

Which, yeah, pretty much how I describe my job anyways.

that's a good job. Mine is rubbish:

I help people make other people want to buy things they do not really need.

What kind of things? Like things that are very big and far away in the sky, or like things you could have in your room? Touching things with a stick all over seems like a strange way to see how big a thing is.

I can't, yet. Your description is pretty good.

I help kids learn to use numbers to explain the world. They can follow steps to change the numbers so they can find answers to problems. When I am not doing this, I make clothes out of animal hair. I also like reading books about things that haven't happened yet, or that could have happened, but didn't.

At a big school, there is a very bright light that can see through things. People there use the light to look at things that are very small or very fast. Computers save pictures of the things that people look at with the see through light. But since there are many different pictures, the computers need to make sure that the right time is remembered for each picture.

I help the computers get the time right.
