Default Brainstorming: Other Aviation Related Careers

I am curious as to what other jobs and careers people have worked in aviation that did not involve piloting.

For example, I know a guy who works for the state and travels to different airports trying to prevent airspace violations from random people who put up towers. Another person I know works for the aeronautics commission and designs new airports and airport layout plans (alp).
