I'm a repair engineer for lab equipment. There's not specific fact that comes to mind, but I find myself thinking about gratifying it is that the job itself fits perfectly well into a solarpunk future.
You could remove the monetary demands of capitalism and in a day-to-day sense my job would still make sense. I spend my time driving to various job sites and labs where they need help setting up robotics and sample analyzers and things.
I think the main thing it illustrates is how fun and productive a solarpunk lifestyle can be. It reminds me of how my mom paid her way through college as a bike courier in DC (right during the Watergate years). I love jobs where you have to go on quests.
