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 rope access industrial radiographer.
Had to look this up. So you climb up stuff to get radio data or what does that entail? Why do they call you “bomber”?
I’ve never heard of this job, but with a search or two, it sounds kind of like he rappels to points on tall structures to check for structural issues and such using X-rays.
Not quite. We climb / rappel structures, mostly oil rigs. And use a gamma radiation source to check for weld defects.
We’re known as bombers because the source container, a techops sentinel 880 or a SCAR projector look a lot like bombs and we blast radiation all over the place causing issues to the nucleonic sensors so over the place.
