POTUS
NASA rocket scientist
Gun show sellers
Trump store manager
I was going to say quarterback but remembered the CFL exists.
Healthcare Revenue Cycle Management Specialist
My dad’s got a buddy who’s an alligator hunter.
My Dad’s was an historian specializing in early American firearms. Specifically, the way arms and armament evolved in the early colonial era. Pretty sure that qualifies, but it is the nichest of niche, so…
ITT: People who really need to travel more.
health insurance claims denial specialist
A lot of the healthcare administration roles focused on how to maximize profits at the patients’ expense.
Probably some very high level scientific positions in the space industry and military that involve the most cutting edge innovations that don’t exist in other parts of the world.
Elvis impersonator who can legally marry you.
NRA lobbyist
There are not many jobs outside the U.S. related to college athletics administrators. Not just athletic director, but operations, finance marketing, player development- all in a college athletics context.
There are college coaches outside the U.S. of course, and some countries have state-sponsored coaching programs that have their own administrators. But college athletics administration isn’t much of a thing elsewhere.
NFL quarterback
NFL staff. Can’t be NFL staff anywhere except the only country that it operates in. Although, I suppose they might hire people for temporary jobs when there’s games in Europe. But I wasn’t really counting temps.
Medical bill broker – people who buy medical debt for pennies on the dollar and try to get the full value of the debt out of the patient.
Most people don’t know you can insist they give you evidence in writing that they actually bought the debt and what they bought it for, and THEN work with them based on that number.
Also a layer specializing in medical bankruptcy. These might exist in other countries but they’re much less common.
Sasquatch hunter
Mount Rushmore tour guide.
I read on some celebrity’s Wikipedia page that they saw “a therapist that specializes in treating former child actors”.
My first thought was “damn I’m sure they’ll never struggle for business.
Pet Therapist would be my top guess
On my feed, the post immediately above this one is about recruiting ICE agents.
Cider Mill Donut maker
Dirty soda shop franchise operator
Bourbon distiller.
Bounty hunter.
Bison rancher.
Bail bondsman doesn’t seem to exist outside the USA
do other countries have those guys in times square that dress up like elmo and try to scam tourists into paying for pictures with them?
Common Law lawyers who are both barristers and solicitors automatically, who (virtually) all have JDs. (Canada and New Zealand have “fused” barristers and solicitors too, but they do Ll.B.s. Although I guess Canada is moving JD-ward these days.)
Standing cashier.
Fuck’s sake, just give them stools.
I was an Asian American admissions consultant at one point. Advising Asians on getting into elite universities in U.S.
