You have a wicked cool job! Possibly your role is insight generation for the wider business. Beyond just quality control, engineers on your team or far-flung teams may have an epiphany looking at one of your images that leads to the next breakthrough in design or manufacture. It's a very abstract sort of "atta-boy" we need to be giving ourselves here. And companies need to do a better job of tracing success stories back up the chain and celebrate individuals for their specific contributions to the "big wins" when they occur to humanize the whole endeavor. As far as the janitor goes, I am less enthusiastic. That role in the marketplace will be automated away because there's very little craft to that job where human participation is useful. Comparing what you do with the waste and dust collector doesn't seem right.
