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 used to work at a place that made envelopes and printed forms.

Fascinating seeing 12 foot tall stacks of rolls of paper.

Used to work at a newspaper, can confirm. Giant rolls of paper are pretty cool.

Me too, right when the digital age was taking over. I was young so they had me help design display ads in illustrator. We'd print out the ads with the articles on a laser printer. Cut them and arrange on a page that was then photographed. It was the future back then lol.
