I was also going to say, don't fall into test question traps and err on the side of modesty or simulating poverty. What you do for a living is a proxy for wealth and prestige, so it's typically better to not respond directly regardless of situation because it pigeonholes a dude where they don't want to be: a nobody, a title, a braggart, too easy/has no options, or a meal ticket. The game is a battlefield full of landmines. It is what it is.
