@Austin_Dern You know, now that I think of it, "esoteric/exciting/archaic career that's really mostly sober desk-job bureaucracy" is a pretty good trope.

Hitmen. Blacksmiths. Rodeo clowns. Brothel madames. Ghost hunters. Chicken sexers. Laboratory rats. Ninjas. Airport Hare Krishnas from the 70s. Damsels tied to railroad tracks. Cartoon cereal mascots. Everybody's got an ISO compliance program these days...

I'm gonna have to look for an excuse to use that in something.

@zebratron2084 Oh, yes, I *love* that sort of thing. Anything where you get to focus on the process of a thing and how much of doing anything well is doing the dull stuff.
