If you don't work IT, retail, or food service what do you do for work?

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.

Construction carpenter. I do a majority of the tasks for building most structures. From rough structure to final touches I do a lot.

Same here! Nice to see another tradesman on this site - we're definitely outnumbered. How often do you find yourself doing minor tasks from other trades - like wiring an outlet or plumbing a sink?

I do occasionally touch on others trades, and it's usually because I work on scattered sites where I and my one partner are in a house together alone. Requesting someone to stop what they are doing and come out to where I am to (usually) remove something that's in the way of my progress is a waste of both our times. I will take stuff out, but it's up to them to put it back, and I always let them know ahead of time to get the all clear and somehow still get talked to about it later.
