Suggest weird jobs for me

Post by **WineAllWine** » Tue May 07, 2024 6:34 pm #728270

I got fired the other week and I don't want to work in another office so give me unusual jobs I can apply for.

So far I've applied for Air Traffic Control, Officer on a merchant ship and IT support in an Antarctic research station.

this thread reminded me of dirty jobs with mike rowe

wish i had mike rowe fancams on hand i'd be posting them right now

any job involving manual labor usually has some weirdness to it, like the people who inspect quarry belts and dropoffs so they don't pick up shit they don't need when they offload materials onto them

imo I think you should apply to be the guy that catches the sparks from angle grinders to recycle them. Big market in europe with their environmental and recycling efforts.
If you can't get in there (you need a lot of experience in the states to get considered for the high-profile positions) perhaps you can try becoming a gangstalker for the US government? Decent hours, good pay, but a lot of travel and you need to have some acting ability to be able to pass yourself off as a girl scout selling cookies while disguising the fact that the cookies have microchips that control people's brain waves.
