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.

Prep school teacher for international middle school kids hoping to go to an English-speaking high school.

Teach all the basic intro classes in an accelerated high school curriculum the semester before they attend high school so that when they get there the language barrier, new facts and different educational style doesn't crush them mercilessly.

I do customer service for a shipping company. Alot of my calls are just people complaining about how much this company sucks ( they are not wrong ) but work from home and put very little effort in my job and spend a lot of time gaming at work . I also have a morning job delivering news papers and amazon packages which I actually kind of like but does not have full time opportunities.

I helped design large-ish electrical grids. 30-100k cables

Without the actual calculation bits, unfortunately.

Not very interesting. Bad software. Management didn't really care about the problem. I was there so the problem was "managed" from their point of view.

Does consulting for energy utilities helping them improve their mapping systems (GIS) count as IT? I do manage cloud infrastructure but also assist with all the various pieces and parts that go into digital maps and integrations.

I love the vagueness! Could be many things and sets the imagination whirring.

I also love this comment because it implies the existence of an "unhelpful professional" which is a wonderful distinction.
