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.

    My primary job is IT, but I am starting a farm and worked on one as a teenager.

        PETG just is a pain in the ass sometimes. Really sensitive to moisture, and it loves to stick to hot metal. So it has a tendency to overextrude because of the steam, and bunch up on the nozzle, causing all sorts of havok.

        The key to printing it is just keeping it dry – the latest batches I’ve held feel like they’re way softer than I remember, so I suspect mfgs are putting more glycol in it than before.

        Also, do a sanity check and go back and print PLA from time to time. Sometimes you won’t realize something else is wrong and you’ll blame it on the filament, but something like the idler arm on the extruder is broken, etc.

        You can print it on Textured PEI, or Glass - but I suggest putting a little glue stick down to act as a release agent on the PEI - PETG and PEI bond together too well in some instances (ESPECIALLY on smooth PEI)

    Not unusual but accountant in a private company. Accounting, like IT, is great because you can work at just about any company. Though to be fair I do some IT like most accountants, there is overlap since so much of the systems work is accounting systems, I’m sure the IT guys feel they are doing some accounting.

    I don’t really have a title, but I work in a factory.

    Go to college kids. Fuck the expense, you still get many more opportunities that a factory scumbag like myself does not. If you don’t know what you want or what you’re capable of, who cares. Go anyway for anything and you’ll meet people who you can network with and you’ll be exposed to classes and topics you might not ever have considered. I’m the only scumbag failure in my friend group who didn’t go to college and I’m the only loser working in a literal sweat shop while they all work from home with very nice salaries and wives/husbands they met at college. I’m still single.

    Go to college.

    I’m a Substation Designer. I work closely with electrical and mechanical engineers to design the layouts for electricity sites that transfer high-voltage electricity to low-voltage, and low-voltage to high-voltage. You drive by a few of these sites every day most likely, as they’re a massive part of our electrical grid.

    I stumbled into this job by accident, and I’m really glad I did, because I love it. :)
