OK, I'll play.
1) Electrofishing (Exactly what it sounds like. You pass electricity through the water and stun the fish) for research purposes with the USGS in New Jersey. Driving cars for a driver's education program with the school district. Running planers and straight-line ripper (think tablesaw with an autofeed) for a furniture mill in Vermont. DNA sequencing tech at the University of Vermont Cancer Center. Did inventory for a video store that was later busted for selling a bunch of stolen goods.
2) Plunge froze protein-RNA complexes on gold mesh in cryogenic ethane. Wrote scripts to control pulses from a liquid helium cooled superconducting magnet. Bored a 6" hole in 20" diameter round steel bar on an American Pacemaker lathe, to make a pressure vessel for a colleague. Caught a few catfish with my bare hands on tributaries of the Delaware river. Restored a 1969 Honda CB350 from a pile of parts and rode it up Mt. Washington. Got a Harvard Ph.D.
3) Royals (mascot was a lion). In college it was the panther, but a subset of us called it the cougar.
