Sometimes on Lemmy these seem like the only jobs that actually exist, but I’m sure there’s a lot of people here with different and unusual lines of work.
Public transport, manufacturing and service/maintenance.
Transportation engineer (in training) working for an engineering consulting firm! Primarily helping design active transportation infrastructure and road reconstructions.
I’m a Substation Designer. I work closely with electrical and mechanical engineers to design the layouts for electricity sites that transfer high-voltage electricity to low-voltage, and low-voltage to high-voltage. You drive by a few of these sites every day most likely, as they’re a massive part of our electrical grid.
I stumbled into this job by accident, and I’m really glad I did, because I love it. :)
I’m a die Cutter operator. I take printed sheets and turn them into boxes for food.
Physician Assistant in a Radiology dept.
Law
Clinical Mental Health Counseling, in-patient setting
Statistician.
But the Simpsons lied to me. I have not been offered the opportunity to go to space.
Lumberjack (tree care professional)
Engineering
Clinical research, one little dent in our knowledge of medicine at a time.
CNC machining. It’s manufacturing; I work with titanium, inconel, and on occasion steel.
I work as a car photographer in a dealership. We sell cars online so whenever we get a new car or someone trades in their car I take pictures of all the features the car has. However when there’s few cars for me to photo I’m also responsible for checking what cars are dirty. My only complaint is that I don’t really care about Toyotas and I work for a Toyota dealership
Quality control chemist testing pharmaceuticals. Most of what we do is for clinical trial use and research purposes. It’s been a good job.
Solar installer, I put solar panels on things and get them working. Recently my company got a reputation for competence with floating solar arrays so we’ve been traveling to build and fix them all over the country. Electricity and water is a fun combo.
