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.

Im an electrician, it’s pretty sweet if you ask me. Not necessarily the job itself, but the money you can earn doing side-jobs
Heh. I have an electrician friend who likes to say the biggest hazard in his line of work is other electricians’ work.
It’s my experience in technical professions that many people consider their improvised solutions to be clever and thoughtful, and other peoples’ to be shoddy and dangerous.

Yeah, people are usually shocked when they find out how bad my electrical work actually is.
I have electrical issues. Any chance you’re in North Texas?
I couldn’t be further from you lol, I’m out in the Cincinnati area, Ohio
You could be … In another country.
Are these side jobs under the table or things you actually have to get permits for? I’ve known a few people who do the former and it can be really lucrative
Depends really, some you just kind of go in and do, get paid, and head out. Some you have to properly sit down and get it inspected.
Keep in mind though that I am a baby electrician, I’ve only got like 6-7 months experience, so I might not be the best person to ask about this.
