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.

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.

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.

I work in individual support under the NDIS in Australia. The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is a system that disabled people can access to fund various needs not covered by our medical system. I help one client who has had a stroke with eating and massage, another client with woodworking and metalworking, another with cleaning and organising their house, and really anything else they need.

It is really flexible and allows us to meet their needs, not what someone else thinks their needs must be.

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.

I'm a die Cutter operator. I take printed sheets and turn them into boxes for food.

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.

I got my education in software engineering but have really enjoyed working a fairly unique logistical role in healthcare. I'm not particularly people-facing; I WFH; I work part-time; I get good benefits. The work-life balance has been just too good when it comes to raising kids.
