To to provide karmic balance to this thread…what are the BEST job titles you’ve ever heard of?
Most of the ones I can think of are historical. To wit:
•“Lord of the Secrets”
As I remember, this was one of the job titles held by an Egyptian court official, several thousand years ago.
•“Beast Master”
According to the Discovery Channel, this was the title of the guy who managed the animal acts at the Flavian Amphitheater (Aka The “Colosseum”) in Rome.
Come to think of it, there are quite a few great titles that end with “Master.” Range Master, Sword Master, Jump Master, etc.
•“Admiral of the Ocean Sea”
Hereditary rank bestowed upon Christopher Columbus.
So…any other suggestions? Ancient, Medieval, Modern, or whathave you…as long as it sounds cool.
And titles of Sovereign rulers (like Emperor, or Shogun) do NOT count, for this one. They’d just muddle the issue, I think.
I had the title “Eldritch Horror” at one job. Made me happy.
My sister had the title “Squid Wrangler” at one of her jobs. Amusingly, the two of us were actually squid wranglers when we were younger, but that job didn’t come with business cards or anything.
A friend worked in cryptography programming. Various export restrictions defined high grade cryptography as an unexportable munition, so he had his title as “munitions expert.”
Webmaster is actually a common appelation. I love geeks Last time I managed to wangle the title “Weblord” but it was with a student society, not a real business so I don’t think it counts.
Master Gunnery Sergeant. That’s an actual rank in the USMC - and yes, it’s considered a high rank that typically takes a quarter century of distinguished service to attain. Is that title macho, or what? It uses the word Master! It references firearms! That is so totally tite.
