It has come to mind that I have a rather unusual occupation. So, I thought I would see if I could drop a few points/riddles/hints on what my job might be and see if anyone could guess correctly. Then another person could post some hints for their job to be guessed. It is up to you whether you do a follow-up post to explain your riddle, etc. Ok, here goes for me:

I am a doctor, but I will never have any patients.
I work with drugs, but I am not a pharmacist nor a dealer.
Much of what I do involves manipulating what can not be seen.

Maybe that will be enough for some good guesses...

Redlemon

Research biochemist with a doctorate?

Aw, I must have made it too easy for you guys! Redlemon is first and closest. I do have a doctorate, and I do work in a lab. My degree is in molecular genetics not biochemistry, but yes, very close indeed.

And Livia Regina has got to be a student! Or a cultist!

Haha yea Livia Regina got it. I do 3D freelancing (mostly 3D, anyway).

Bundy was...close?

FngKestrel

redlemon: are you an Environmental Advocate?

Coppertop

I won't even get in on this one. If I posted my job description (well, what I do anyway as they're unrelated) most people would assume I was unemployed.

Redlemon

It might be the same thing, but my job title is Environmental Engineer, and I'm in a consulting firm. So, I work for industry, and help them figure out the regs, and do paperwork for them.

CityOfAngels

Here's a new one for y'all:

I sit on my ass all day and watch people dig.
I only have to be there when they're digging in "native" soil. If they are digging in fill, then I don't care.
I have been witness to almost 400 of my ancestor's skeletons, along with various artifacts, being unearthed in the name of progress and development.
I am there to make sure that any remains or artifacts found are treated with the proper respect and handled according to specific guidelines set by representatives in my tribe and state and federal law.
I have not gone to school for this job, but rather have taken it as a temporary duty to my tribe; but I still get paid a crap-load.

Sorry for all the hints, but my job is pretty obscure.

I paint on a canvas the size of a stamp.
I produce stuff that is anti-productive.
If you call me, you'll interrupt my work.

Kind of obscure, but hopefully enough for people to get.

CityOfAngels

Artifacts and burials. The correct term is "Native American Archaeological Monitor."

braisler

FngKestrel, you may have to help us out some more, but I'll venture a guess. Are you someone who paints on circuit boards, maybe for game chips (hence anti-productive)?

Maybe another clue would help if I am nowhere close.

FngKestrel

Nice guess, but I don't have anything to do with hardware. You're on the right track with games though.

radioguy

on air personality is the correct answer.....and it sounds a hell of alot cooler than radioguy.

as for your job, i don't have a clue...sorry

shipofshame

Do you program video games for cell phones?

FngKestrel

Pretty close. I do art for cell phone games. My programmer buddies are on the other side of the office.

Hard8s

If I do my job right no one notices.
When its hot people complain and I can cool them down.
When its cold I can heat them up.
Stuff gets really busy when its rainy or windy.
I have to work the hardest when the lights go out.

What do I do?

I get to spy into people's lives, but I am not a secret agent or investigator.

I get to say yes or no, but I am not the boss.

I talk to many idiots everyday who think they own the company, even if they don't work for us yet.

Money is as much take as it is give in this industry.

My position gets the grunt of it all if something goes wrong or is not done quick enough.

FngKestrel

Are you tech support?

Hard8s

ooh, I know!!
a loan officer!

most of what i do is routine & has to be re-done almost as soon as i finish.
some of what i do is of a creative nature.
i do not get paid a salary, but i am provided with room & board, the essentials, once in a while some gratitude & always love.
hand lotion is an essential requirement with my job.
