What does everyone do for a living?

[TheHammer1982]

I'm a mechanic and work on everything from small gasoline engines to diesel pickups to large farm machinery. I also do metal fabrication including welding, lathe work, and mill work. People always look at me funny when they find out that I like to build effects pedals and work on guitar amps lol.

I'm an MRI FSE(Field service engineer). Recently started with one of the OEMs after several years in the 3rd party world.
Degrees in both Audio and Electrical Engineering. Still love audio and pedals are my little way to keep it up

I worked in consumer electronic repair for around 20 years, then a few more in a calibration lab testing/repairing/calibrating test equipment for the DOD.

These days I do this "thing" involving circuit boards...

I build large LED wall displays for events. Sometimes I still run the camera or audio for them too but usually I'm engineer/producer/cat herder.

 

[cliffs_trip]

Currently programmer/data analyst performing data conversions on hospital information systems.
Started out in the army trained as an EMT and worked as a lab tech/blood donor center technician.
I guess that’s why I’ve had a million hobbies, all my jobs have been kinda boring.

 

[Nic]

Also in the programming and ti field.

 

[DailyDovetails]

Mostly I do 3D modeling for heavy civil construction primarily using GPS. I also manage a fleet of Trimble equipment and provide training to equipment operators and grade setters(similar to surveying). Also I do topographic surveys using a drone.

You win the comment of the day…

 

[PapaBear]

I design and sell HVAC systems for high end homes and remodels. Also, some commercial work as well.

Well, before the pandemic I was dividing my time between gigging, bartending, and home reno. In that order. Most of my income was cash. Then I went to work in maintenance at a large Marina, because it was deemed “essential”, having a trailer park on site. But that job was less then challenging or stimulating.
Now… I am writing up my resume. And I’ll probably only take what will allow me to gig on weekends. Haha

Apparently doctors/lawyers don't play guitar, they just buy them, at least according to @guitarcirclejerk

3D printing mechanic for a recycled paper packaging products factory. Also Tooling Tech at same factory, so basically I print all the tools, fix the printers when they break (which is every day), then build the tools using 3D prints, and repair said tools once the production guys break them (also every day).

Your mom, I would call it a hobby but I got a 1099 in the mail the other day.
