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 hydraulic fitter. I repair and maintain hydraulic systems, primarily on earthmoving equipment.

That's awesome! My old man now retired is pipe/steam-fitter and welder; he always loved hydraulics though. Designed and built his own little hydraulic setup for his New Holland back in the day.

Sounds like a cool dude. Modern systems are far too complex to make in a home workshop, but hydraulics are simple at heart if you can use a little logic.
