Librarian at a PreK-5 school (3-11 years old). I teach 45 minute classes to everyone each week. 700 kids, 32 classes. Less stress than classroom teaching while still following the same schedule.
I'm a museum curator based in Europe (very different from the Americas). It's a wonderful job of travel, being close to history and bringing some goodness into the world, if you don't mind the salary of working for a charity.
I'm an artist in animation ✏️
I'm in IT, but one of my lifelong friends is a radio tower climber. He drives up to the mountains, climbs these 500' radio towers, and repairs them. Another close friend is an audio engineer. Another close friend owns a taxi company in a small tourist town. Another friend is a building maintenance manager. Another friend is a regional bank manager. There are millions of jobs out there. Lemmy just attracts a specific kind of person.
I work with school kids who have disabilities.
Sound and communications technician. I put cables in the walls, floors or ceilings for structured cabling projects.
Not glamorous work but, I get to be in large buildings and, most of the time I work in climate controlled occupied space.
Prosthetist. I work with patients to make and fit artificial limbs to them.
Environmental engineer. I clean up chemical messes like oil spills, and make sure that the resulting land is safe enough for people to live on it.
It's fun and challenging, if somewhat depressing at times. Some things take a LONG time to clean up. On the plus side, I have great job security.
How many years did you prepare the image collection before asking this question, OP?
I work in IT, by the way. (Don't use Arch though, Tumbleweed crew represent!)
I'm a linehaul driver, pic from my first day at this job. I pull a set of double-trailers back and forth between two company terminals overnight. Same route each time, home every day. Pretty chill and easy work, I just listen to audiobooks and podcasts all night as I try not to slap anyone with my back trailer. any recommendations for something new to listen to I'd love to hear it
Snack food manufacturing, running machines that put snacks into bags and then those bags into boxes.
I work as a theatre tech (light and sound) at a college(theatre arts department). I do however use Linux and made some scripts in Python to control my ligtdesk and sound table. So a bit of IT related work. But also talk with students about the creative part of lights, sound and projection and how they can use it during and after there study in there shows.
I also do some shows for them in the small Theatre in the college and outside the college.
And give them a workshop teaching them the basics and how they can tell to a tech what they want and how they can do somethings themselves.
Whilst I am doing a CS degree now, for the last 9 years I was a 5 axis CNC machinist for stone products. I still do It part time as they haven't found a replacement yet (after a year lmao).
Mathematics Lecturer (just teaching foundation mind).
It's far more fun than people think, but with next to no real holidays (summer is actually quite busy). Also it sucked being on temporary contract, because you had no idea if you'd have work in 12 months no matter how good you were.
I drive a tugboat and transport clean oil on the East and Gulf Coasts.
I'm a rope access industrial radiographer.
Edit: colloquially known as a "bomber"
Electronics RF Engineer, working with legal compliance. Loads of calculations, measurements, and paperwork. Occasionally, I'll get to test something with cool expensive equipment.
Machine maintenance / Macgyver. We make air filters and I have to make sure the machines that make them are running.
I also do any other random jobs. Currently I'm creating a simple webpage to submit machine issues that get sent to a Google sheet and an email sent out.
I also machine metal replacement parts. Of course I make any personal projects I want to as well.
Software engineer, aka glorified code-monkey. Ook!
You might say that my job fits under the umbrella of IT, but no, it's totally a different thing! ;)
Production of commercial robots. Though, I just lost my job and the job I was going to pulled out last minute, so next week, I won’t be working on anything.
State government paper pusher
Your dedication to finding appropriate responses is appreciated.
Embedded Software Engineer. Like the software that would run on a coffee maker, medical equipment, bulldozer, etc.
