Occupations

Want to talk about jobs and careers in Spanish? These Spanish Vocabulary quizzes on occupations give you the words for professions and the regional twists that come with them.

1. Business

Keep in mind: Gerente and jefe both translate loosely as "boss," but they are not interchangeable. Gerente is a formal job title with defined responsibilities, while jefe is informal and simply means whoever is in charge.

2. Education & Arts 🔒

Heads up: Actor stays actor for men, but the feminine form is actriz—one of the few Spanish profession nouns that changes its ending rather than just its article. Most other professions in this group simply swap the article.

3. Healthcare 🔒

Pro tip: Médico and doctor are both used in Latin America, but médico is the formal professional title while doctor is an honorific—a dentista or farmacéutico can also be called doctor even though neither is a médico.

4. Trades 🔒

Worth knowing: Plomero is standard for plumber in Mexico and much of Latin America, but in Peru and Chile you will hear gasfitero for the same job—using the wrong word in the wrong country can draw a blank stare.

5. Public Service 🔒

Heads up: Policía is unusual—it refers both to the institution (la policía) and to an individual officer (el policía or la policía). The same word does double duty depending on the article.

6. Other Roles 🔒

Pro tip: Mesero is standard for waiter in Mexico and Central America, but in Peru and Argentina you will hear mozo instead. Using mesero in Spain would immediately mark you as a Latin American Spanish speaker.

Spanish Vocabulary for Jobs and Professions

Across six quizzes you will learn job titles from médico (doctor) and maestro (teacher) to piloto (pilot) and plomero (plumber). Some change form for gender, like actor (actor) and actriz (actress), while many simply switch the article in front of them.

Talking about work is one of the first things people do when they meet, so this vocabulary helps you introduce yourself and ask about others. It also reveals how Spanish handles gender in everyday words, which is a useful pattern to notice early. Some jobs change their ending, some only change the article, and learning a batch of them together makes the whole system clearer.

Occupations with Audio Pronunciation

Each job comes with audio, so you hear it pronounced as you learn it. That helps with farmacéutico (pharmacist), a long word that is far easier to remember once you have heard it.

Did You Know?

The word contador looks like counter but actually means accountant in Latin America. It is a common false friend, and reaching for it when you mean a scorekeeper would leave a native speaker puzzled.

How the Quizzes Work

The six quizzes take only a few minutes each and cover professions you hear every day. You can repeat them whenever you like to reinforce the titles and their gender forms. Steady practice makes the words feel natural in conversation, so introducing yourself or asking what someone does comes out smoothly. Returning to the quizzes a few times is what makes the less common titles stick alongside the everyday ones.
