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.

      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.
