Music director for a convergent media (robots + video + kinetic sculpting etc.) studio, doing composition, sound design, and orchestration for the likes of Samsung, Hyundai, Lotte, SKT, The National Museum of Korea, the office of the president of the ROK, etc.
The studio inner-room and view of the next door building ain't half bad, either.

I’m retired now, but I was a museum exhibit designer for over 35 years. Mostly what I did was research, design, fabricate, install, and maintain exhibits for a state museum with 10 field sites. It was a good mix of writing, graphic design, and hands-on work. For fun I wrote articles for history journals, and published a book.
These days I'm a weekend (and occasionally weeknight 
) warrior when it comes to music. My day job is as the disability specialist for our county's department of human services. I help community members with disability and aging related issues, connecting them to services and advising on options to help with a wide array of issues like housing, Healthcare, financial assistance, and personal care. I also oversee the government contracts with community agencies providing disability programs. And I coordinate a NJ state program for working people with disabilities to get supports if thier employment prevents them from accessing Federal programs like Medicaid. It's an interesting job and no two days are ever the same. Music was the reason I got into this field as my first experience in disability supports and advocacy was managing a music program for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities at our county's chapter of the Arc. I never expected to be doing this kinda work, but it is rewarding.

That also qualifies you to be a consultant for an analyst.
IT. I currently work at a data center.
Up until recently I had a wfh IT job where the company essentially forgot about me for 3 years. My boss at the time created a niche roll for me in the company as a reward for years of really hard work. He then got canned. For the next 3 years his role went unfilled and nobody knew what I did exactly. I'd respond to chat and emails occasionally but that was it. I even left the country for two months and no one knew. Unfortunately that gravy train dried up when the company was bought out. But it was fun while it lasted.

I don't know what that means so I'm going to assume it's deep cover and you're an international hit man. Outside chance you have a bass case with a disassembled sniper rifle in it.

Basically I fix what ails our clients, insurance companies in this case. I design software and workflow solutions.
Before I retired, I was an auto mechanic.
I started at a 6 bay Mobil station in 1983 and I joined the corporate world in 1987. I stayed at the same shop from 4/87 until 9/22..... 35 1/2 years and I had enough.

Worked out of my home, designing and managing networks for small to medium business for 20 years. Loved it and was very good at it. Then COVID happened and it was all remote. Wake up, log on to client's networks, respond to any tickets they had posted, and make sure everything was running smoothly. It was boring. I had no contact with the outside world. I closed down the business and handed off all my clients. Got a job at Home Depot selling doors and windows. I love it. Had to learn a ton of new stuff. I work with some great people. I get to interact with the public. After 20 years of no medical or dental I have decent coverage. No more panic calls at midnight because a network intrusion has been detected. The only downside is I have to schedule practices and gigs around my work schedule. Before I scheduled my work around my band schedule. Not much of a downside. At 68 I'm never going to be a rock star and I'm OK with that.
