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.
Tower climbing grease monkey. Aka wind turbine technician.
Part plumber, part electrician, part IT, part jiffy lube, all crazy!

Power ranger (erectrician)

Mechanical engineer in the space industry
Drink service
Commercial wide format print shop owner
I’m a professional Bastard
Production of commercial robots. Though, I just lost my job and the job I was going to pulled out last minute, so next week, I won’t be working on anything.
I’m a die Cutter operator. I take printed sheets and turn them into boxes for food.
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.
I don’t really have a title, but I work in a factory.
Go to college kids. Fuck the expense, you still get many more opportunities that a factory scumbag like myself does not. If you don’t know what you want or what you’re capable of, who cares. Go anyway for anything and you’ll meet people who you can network with and you’ll be exposed to classes and topics you might not ever have considered. I’m the only scumbag failure in my friend group who didn’t go to college and I’m the only loser working in a literal sweat shop while they all work from home with very nice salaries and wives/husbands they met at college. I’m still single.
Go to college.
I’m in IT now, but before that, I worked in construction. I operated tunnel boring machines that dug tunnels for underground metros. It was super interesting work, and I’m glad I did it, but it was incredibly tough.
