Where do we bassists work?

[JoePlaysDaBass]

I wonder what different kinds of careers / occupations that bass guitarists find themselves in. It wold be interesting to find a pattern, and perhaps realize that we have yet another thing in common

It might be best to keep things as simple as possible. Maybe give a job description if it's requested, but otherwise, state your primary source of income.

I am an assistant manager at Little Caesers Pizza. Your turn!
