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.
I work in IT and I don’t like following rules
But do you use Linux?
I’m insulted that you would even ask me that. We are no longer internet friends.
Clearly not an arch user
You shall lie soulless in the wake of Debian’s righteous slaughter
I put $1000 in bitcoin in 2012
Then i wake up from my dream and calibrate temperature sensors on medical refrigerators
Farmer!
OP clearly just wanted an excuse to show off their vast collection of response images…
Public transport, manufacturing and service/maintenance.
I’m a Stonemason, and I work in conservation.
I run a business repairing consumer-grade 3D printers.
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.
Wastewater-based epidemiology. Basically we track infectious diseases in wastewater, and the results guide public health decisions.
Clinical research, one little dent in our knowledge of medicine at a time.
Engineer (p.s. don’t become an engineer, it’s not as great as they sold it to us)
Are you a software engineer or a real engineer?
Well, that seems like an insulting question. Not that it matters, but I’m an aerospace engineer.
Welder. I make the sparky sparky hot and sticky with the metals.
Nice try feds
I’m a truck driver, well nowadays more in the office than behind the wheel but I do still pull loads here and there.
Electronics RF Engineer, working with legal compliance. Loads of calculations, measurements, and paperwork. Occasionally, I’ll get to test something with cool expensive equipment.
