I'm a dentist. You get surprisingly adept at removing and placing piercings in ears and noses. Often they need to be removed for xrays and lots of people don't know how to do it for their own jewelry.

I'm a structural engineer.
Spatial skills are required and some people seem surprised that you need them.
Writing skills are also really needed and a lot of people seem surprised that the autistic kid in the back of class needs to communicate to hundreds of people in a way they understand.
Why are spatial skills a surprising skill of a structural engineer? Isn't that like... crucial?
I've seen several structural engineers break down when asked to draw what they designed.
Wait, drawing? That is a different skill? This is what I understand as spatial skill (Wiki: Spatial ability)

Branch Manager for a 3 trade company. 30% of my job is to recruit new techs. Apart of that is to take them to lunch/dinner, outings, etc to get to know them and see if theyβd be a good fit.
I'm a Process Manager. No one knows what I actually do, so there is very little to surprise anyone.
