What are some typical New England works or professions?

Q: Lobster raiser? Maple syrup maker? Fenway Park seller? I know these might sound generic, but are these typical? Do you know any other that might fit these description? Thanks! Hello PennyLee! Yes! That's the line I'm going for. Thanks! Anyone else has any other ideas? Hello Holyber. Thanks for your answer. I did not mean to imply this were the ONLY jobs found in the area. I'm looking for the kind of job that is UNIQUE in the New England region, and it is not widely found in other parts of the US. Any specifics that come to mind? Perhaps there's a specific brand of Finance or pharmaceuticals that develops only in New England you can tell me about. Thanks! DISCLAIMER. I'm trying to do a project on traditional and unique New England works, professions or ventures. I love New England and I'm very surprised how my question could have been so misinterpreted. I know there are Doctors, Physics, Engineers, Actors, Politicians -and whatever other profession you may think so- in New England as well as in the rest of the US and in the rest of the work. But I'm looking for the traditional, characteristic and exclusive for New England and while looking for a wider angle and though Yahoo! Answers would be a good tool for that. So, I love New England. And I would appreciate given this disclaimer, if the attention of the answers could focus on the actual question. Thank you very much!

A: Maple Syrup is usually a side business for a local farmer. Lobsters are wild, harvested by Lobstermen. Fenway Park has vendors, who sell t-shirts in the streets or peanuts and food in the stands. The numbers for any of these are small. Deep sea fisherman, dairy farmer, potato farmer. Cranberry harvester. In Maine, everyone helps out as blueberry rakers when the fruit becomes ripe. Oyster farmer. Innkeeper. Boat Builder. Stone mason for all the stone walls. Duck Boat Conducktor. Does that help? Additional: Nantucket basket weaver, scrimshaw artist, Moxie bottler, Portugese baker (Fall River and New Bedford), clam digger, salt hay harvester, Ben & Jerry's scooper, Durgin Park waitress, clam shack cook. Costumed tour guide. Living History Museum Guide. Concord grape vintner. Decoy carver. Sand dune restoration and sea wall reconstruction. Ferry operator. Whale watch captain.
