The topic is amusing to say the least. Good way to start the week. But the Other option should have been included.

Welder

I can't believe the "Beach Bum" option has now overtaken the welder.
Clearly, translators and welders have a lot in common. Both work in the background doing important jobs which can make or break a project's success. Nobody takes any notice of a job well done (be it a well welded joint or a good translation), while errors and botch jobs are instantly noticed (and can have serious consequences) in both fields.

Because I work through the layers, follow clues, apply my instincts and sensibility... I feel like a crime scene investigator with excellent psychological insights.

Where is "Other" or "None of the Above"
Apr 28, 2018
A question like this would lead to a much more interesting discussion with the "other" option.
