Underwater Wood Welder ?, Dolphin Trainer ? A guy in the TA who worked with me used to tell girls he was a bin man(and in the winter drove the snow plough, no I don't know how he got to work)
Two things, A. He was and B. It seemed to work. Go figure... Sky God pah!

Have been biscuit designer , did you know that it takes a designer to put those little ridges just right so that the tea runs off and doesn't make the biscuit too soggy? Also been a Beta tester for Durex. No doubt there are also some very confused Insurance salesmen around after leaving a nice big pile of their business cards around the place.

Just a numbered other
In a pub next to Brayford(?) pool in Lincoln during a crab course at Scampton, we let on to the ladies that we were submariners and that our steed was parked just outside.
Girl went over to the window, looked out, came back saying she couldn't see it.
''course you can't' we said 'It's a submarine'

I used to be a chicken sexer -- well someone has to decide which chicks will go on to an idyllic life of egg laying, while the chaps get it. Chick balls are very small. You can somnetimes tell by the lie of the skin, the lie of the feathers can help, but essentially its all down to feel. 
Fondling chickens' bits - some job, heh? But I suppose if your job is also your hobby.....?
But who would ever discover that when Pertelote wasn't laying the reason was that, in fact, you'd deliberately given Chaunticleer a stay of execution?

Berlei fitting consultant. In fact I remember a whole Army Pilot's Course plus instructers being a convention of Berlei fitting consultants in a Blackpool nightclub. The assorted audience were much happier to believe our cover than when one of our band of brothers gave in and let slip what we really did.
Ah bliss. "..so do you really think it's a bit tight round here..." "I'm a professional, let me check."

Many moons ago in the Severn Stars of York, (No:1 trapping place in those days), a fellow course member known as Snuff, (used to get up everyones nose), convinced a couple of Cadbury Dorisses that he was gainfully employed as the chief green cutter at Fulford golf course using a sharp pair of scissors and a 1/4 inch long ruler. Should'nt be too rude about the young ladies, they're probably married to a couple of ageing Crabs now! Oops.
Aquadozer Driver. You can't leave all those oil pipelines just sitting on the sea bed, so someone has to dig the trenches to put them in...

Picture the scene: 50kt wind down the Vale of York, BFJT course slope off into town for a pub lunch and a few bevvies. On the way out, barmaid asks, "Are you guys heading back to work now?"
Reply: "No. It's too windy!"
Barmaid: "Too windy? What do you do?"
Cse: "We sweep leaves but when it's windy they go everywhere so there's no point doing it... bye!"

Couple of thoughts
DwayneDibley - your mate who was the bin man - did he get any training or did he just pick it up as he went along?
Dr Schlong - as a part time gynaecologist do you still keep your hand in?

There was a chap who after acting coyly with a young lady about his profession finally folded and told her what he did that only involved working for two months of the year. He was a seal cub culler. Amazingly, he completey failed to get anywhere with the young lady, can't think why.
