which has an "official" list of job titles. It's amazing how wrong
and out of date so much of it is.

I have looked up some of my various job titles on that web site.

Found:
  Computer programmer (but I didn't do what's listed there)
  Livestock rancher (farmer)
  Photographer (but I'm not limited to nightclubs like the description)
  Electronics technician (yes, electron tubes! They got that part right!)
  Calculating machine operator
  Teacher
  Museum technician (but I worked with exhibit equipment, not fossils)
  Prooofreader

Not found:
  Technical writer (******** !!! ********)
  Copy editor
  Livestock wrangler
  Pony ride operator
  Stringer (freelance newspaper reporter)
  Scientific translator (they have scientific linguist, not the same thing)
  Petting zoo operator
  Seamstress (I believe that I am the only man on three planets
              who sews on buttons and darns socks)
  Substitute teacher
  Street performer
  Advertising salesman
