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 electrical power delivery for municipal transportation, supervision-level. Before that, I was a shoreside engineer (basically a mechanic, not an engineering degree) in marine services. My work has always come very organically, often starting in floor-sweeping assistant positions.

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.

Commercial Real Estate Lending - Portfolio Management. I monitor loans for losses and collect periodic financial statements. I hate it. I used to do business loan underwriting and trying to get back into that. Had a dream job lined up but ended up failing the background check because of a bankruptcy 6 years ago.

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.
