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.

Machine operator. I run some CNC machines that are paired up with robots to handle the loading and unloading of the CNC's.

If and when industrial robots are hooked up to cameras and computers that can problem solve, my current job will be gone or very boring.

Plumber & Home improvement contractor

I recently started my own business and now I do variety of jobs related to home maintenance except electrical. If this'll pay enough to keep me and my SO fed then based on my experience so far it was the best decision of my life. It doesn't really even feel like work and 98% of customer encounters have been positive. I've gotten 5x more thank yous in 2 months than I got in 10 years at my previous job. We've all had bad experiences with shitty contractors. I truly try to not be one of them.

My "job" (I put it in quotes because it's more like a gig that's paid) is experimental and doesn't have a direct name, but I often shorten the explanation as working with media/reporting/archiving/charity.

Customer Service Rep is my title

CSR/AR/AP/Billing/IT is a lot closer to my actual workload

Before that I worked in the yard doing propane repair, and my name starts with Ha- so if I ever make Assistant Manager, well, I'll truly have become my childhood hero by complete fuckin accident.

Oh, I also used to be the guy responsible for keeping the people living up in the hills near Redding, CA with power after the fires 2 years ago. During the 6 rivers lightning complex fire in 2022 I was within a few hundred feet of the fire break crews while I was 4x4ing up mountainsides to keep generators full of fuel.
