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.
Screenprinting. I also did work as a quality tech for machining. Manufacturing jobs in general do not seem to get any public recognition even though they can be some of the most engaging and can cater to a lot of people that don’t enjoy the employee-customer relationship.
That being said, finding the sweet spot for management can be a challenge.
It’s a career path that’s practically ignored in schools and I wish math classes used more examples from engineering and manufacturing to answer the age-old “Where am I ever going to use this?” question.
My son does screenprinting. He really, really likes the job, but he works with asshole.
He screen prints on assholes? Sweet I’ve been thinking about turning mine into a beholder

I’m a truck driver, well nowadays more in the office than behind the wheel but I do still pull loads here and there.
Licensed US Customs Broker, I help my clients navigate getting their goods imported through US Customs.
I’m a case manager for a local org that supports people with intellectual disability. I like my job, I set my own hours, and even if there was no profit motive it would still need to be done. My only complaint is where I brush up against the capitalistic intersection, so the county is our funder and they really pinch every penny compared to, say the sheriffs’ office.
Watch the mentally disabled. Most of the time they just need a friend so I get paid to hangout with em. Just gotta make sure they get their meds and food on time. Hell a few weeks ago I got paid to go to a baseball game cause he wanted to go.
I’m a real engineer.
Acquisitions manager for a library
Law enforcement, digital forensics. Not in the US.
I do cosplay erotica for a living. I make awesome costumes, I take them off, and just post to Patreon. I suppose it’s kindof retail, as I’m giving the photos to people, as a reward for subscribing, but I set my own schedule and choose what goes out. The freedom is incredible
After a long and lucrative IT career I got a certificate in Ecological Restoration. I now do land stewardship, monitoring and maintaining habitats. Literally outstanding in my field, or marsh, or scrubland…
I teach middle school
Electronics RF Engineer, working with legal compliance. Loads of calculations and paperwork. Occasionally, I’ll get to test something with cool expensive equipment.
I put $1000 in bitcoin in 2012
Then i wake up from my dream and calibrate temperature sensors on medical refrigerators
