An AnswerMug member was recently referred to by another member as “our resident scientist”. It prompts this question:

What are some other occupations or careers we have or have had amongst the former and current membership here, especially unique ones?  

[This is only for those jobs that members have voluntarily disclosed, and unlike my fake, tongue-in-cheek, fictitious and made-up jobs or professions, should only include real information.]


Thank you all. I’ll start the list with just a few known ones.

 


Corrections officer in maximum security prison
Executive secretary 
Grocery store employee

    I was an order picker, very briefly. On my first morning (wouldn't have been 6 a.m. yet), the supervisor told me this is why I should go to college. So I did! Now, I'm a quasi-farmer and semi-writer.
