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.

Telecoms project engineer.

I supervise and co-ordinate the roll out of FTTH networks.

I'm a Substation Designer. I work closely with electrical and mechanical engineers to design the layouts for electricity sites that transfer high-voltage electricity to low-voltage, and low-voltage to high-voltage. You drive by a few of these sites every day most likely, as they're a massive part of our electrical grid.

I stumbled into this job by accident, and I'm really glad I did, because I love it. :)

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.

Law enforcement, digital forensics. Not in the US.

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.

Just by the numbers I would assume quite a few Lemmings work in utilities companies and healthcare.

For me it's healthcare. I am an EEG tech and sleep tech.
