[1250–1300; Center English language (< Middle French) < Latin]

occupation

aptronym - A proper noun that fits a person's nature or occupation, like Jane House for a existent estate amanuensis.
mechanical - Predates "machine" in English and has long had certain separate senses, such as "an art, trade, or occupation: concerned with manual work" and "practical as opposed to theoretical."
specialization, specialty - Specialization refers to the procedure of becoming specialized; specialty refers to a special pursuit, occupation, or production.
study - Based on Latin studium, "painstaking application, zeal" (from studere, "to exist zealous"), study's earliest uses are surprising: "affection, friendliness," an "occupation or pursuit," and "a country of reverie or abstraction; state of perplexity."

Occupation

costermonger A street-vendor, a hawker of fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, etc.; also simply coster. This British expression comes from the earlier costardmonger 'apple-seller' (costard 'a large, ribbed diverseness of apple tree' + monger 'dealer, trader'). It has been in employ since 1514.

flatfoot A police officer. This expression, in widespread employ since the early 20th century, implies that a police officer on a beat becomes flatfooted from walking. Flatfoot and other expressions of derision became firmly entrenched in American speech during the Prohibition era (1920-33) when the general public was peculiarly contemptuous of those who enforced the constabulary.

He got sore as a boil and stepped upwardly to the lousy flatfoot. (J. T. Farrell, Studs Lonigan, 1932)

flesh-tailor A surgeon. The derivation of this British colloquialism is obvious.

free-lance An unaffiliated person who acts on his own judgment; a author or journalist who submits work to various publishers without really being employed by any of them; a person hired on a role-time or temporary basis to perform tasks for which he has been particularly trained. This expression dates from the Heart Ages when, afterwards the Crusades, bands of knights offered their services to any country that was willing to pay. Too known equally mercenaries or free companies, these bands were commonly chosen complimentary-lances in reference to their chivalry weapon, the lance. Eventually the term was practical to unaffiliated politicians. In contemporary usage, even so, a free-lancer is anyone (though usually a author) who offers his services on a temporary ground with payment upon completion of the work, equally opposed to payment in the course of a salary or retainer.

If they had to rely on the free-lance articles … they could close down tomorrow. (Scientific discipline News, 1950)

gandy dancer Railroad slang for a section hand or tracklayer. The term, in use as early every bit 1923, derives from the rhythmic motions of railroad workers who laid tracks with tools made by the now defunct Gandy Manufacturing Company of Chicago.

ghost writer A person who is paid to write a oral communication, article, or volume—especially an autobiography—for another, unremarkably more than famous person who receives and accepts credit for its authorship; a hack writer. This expression alludes to the classic definition of ghost 'an unseen spirit or existence existing among living persons.' The implication is that though a ghost writer exists, his presence is hidden from the general public; thus, his existence is unknown or unrecognized. A dorsum formation is to ghostwrite or to ghost 'to write for another who accepts credit for the piece of work.'

The autobiographical distortion ghost-written by Samuel Crowther for Ford … (New Democracy, Feb 10, 1932)

gumshoe A detective, plainclothesman, or police officeholder; and then called from the rubber-soled shoes reputedly worn past those gentlemen in lodge to assure noiseless motion. Consequently gumshoe can also be used as a verb significant 'to move silently; to sneak, skulk, or pussyfoot.'

ink-slinger A disparaging appellation for a author, peculiarly one who writes for his livelihood; as well ink-jerker, -spiller, or -shedder. The reference is probably to a paper author under such pressure to finish an article by a specified deadline that he "slings" the ink onto the newspaper without regard for the quality of writing. This American slang term dates from the latter half of the 19th century. The noun ink-slinging appeared in The Spectator (November, 1896):

There is … no picturesque ink-slinging, equally the happy American phrase goes.

pencil pusher An role worker who does a considerable amount of writing. This U.S. slang term is a disparaging comment on the lack of productive labor in office work. The phrase too implies that such work is menial and mechanical.

The number of pencil pushers and typists has increased in the by 25 years out of proportion to the increase in factory workers. (Sam Dawson, AP wire story, July 9, 1952)

sawbones A surgeon; any doctor. The allusion in this term is gruesomely obvious.

"What, don't yous know what a Sawbones is, sir," enquired Mr. Weller; "I thought every body know'd every bit a Sawbones was a surgeon." (Charles Dickens, Pickwick Papers, 1837)

shrink A psychiatrist or psychoanalyst. This derogatory expression is a shortening of headshrinker, which may take been coined by analogy to the primitive tribal custom, practised past medicine men, of shrinking a decapitated head by removing the skull and stuffing the peel with hot sand.

You talk similar one of those caput-shrinkers—a psychiatrist. (Southward. McNeil, High-Pressure Girl, 1957)
