Electrical contractor, I’m actually posting from an attic right now. If you’re in a blue state and young, I strongly recommend you look into the field.

I give people hearing damage.
(I run audio for live events.)

Doing my BSC in Informatics atm but I am already working as a student intern network engineer for the state railway working on the internal train network and the train-to-land connection but also on stuff like the announcements and dashboards. Wherever I am needed.

I was an electrician for 15 years in the canadian military and for the last 3 years an instructor. I got really tired of using my whole body all the time and working outside all year round. I also got really tired of the military lifestyle and how bad the leadership got.

Quit my old job 2 years ago and took up programming. Now im about to graduate from college(canada) with a 4.0gpa and hopefully have a job with i right away.

Jerk.

Back-office college financial aid at a larger state college. Financial aid mostly disburses by batch process, so my job is to audit that. Some things, like external scholarships, are manual and require a quick reassessment of the financial aid package to ensure the student is still eligible for everything (if anything, loans need reduced sometimes per regulations). Some things require "professional judgement," like when a student is not yet 24 but claims to be independent due to unusual circumstances. There's more, but it's really just an accumulation of batch work, queues, and audits which require a reasonably good working knowledge of regulations.

I'm a datacenter administrator and professional photographer as side hustle. I love my work so much that it barely even feels like work

I'm a blacksmith

I work in travel insurance claims. I'm in a third party administrator for underwriters. When you're on a trip and you get hurt or get sick, you give us a call and we get a claim started for you.

Everyone here is using Lemmy and is either in SWE, Sys Engi, Sys Admin or DevOps.

Work in a jail as a co. It's alright but pretty shitty at times. Pays decent and I can live a good life outside of work.

Architectural lighting designer. I love it and hate it. Love the complexity and endless learning about science and tech, and how to apply it creatively. Hate the contractors who put forward alternates and mess up the entire design intent only to pocket the difference.

Currently studying to change careers to be a game dev as a generalist for indie games.

My job title is data engineer, but the organization I work at is small enough that it basically ranges from business intelligence to cloud engineering to data architecture to data science to whatever other thing is even slightly related to data :)

I'm currently a Site/Processing manager that dabbles in data, got there through beekeeping. I got a summer job working for a beekeeper (over 30 years. ago now) while doing a BSc in organic chemistry and never went back to uni - I was planning to go into lab work/food science in the dairy industry.

I straighten below hairs for Japanese adult entertainment employees. Usually a Philips does the job, however for some folks I've had to whip out the ironing board. It's a tough job.

Electronics Technician and self taught programmer. My career has been building equipment to test locomotive traction motors and alternators. Lots SQL and PLC programming, electrical drawings, web programming for reports.

Also developer. Been writing code since around 1985. I wrote a system in the logistics field back in 1999 and I've been expanding it ever since.
