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.

I’m a rope access industrial radiographer.
Edit: colloquially known as a “bomber”
Had to look this up. So you climb up stuff to get radio data or what does that entail? Why do they call you “bomber”?
Not quite. We climb / rappel structures, mostly oil rigs. And use a gamma radiation source to check for weld defects.
We’re known as bombers because the source container, a techops sentinel 880 or a SCAR projector look a lot like bombs and we blast radiation all over the place causing issues to the nucleonic sensors so over the place.
