Let’s see how many games we can list which feature you playing as some sort of real life, or gross exaggeration of an actual job. I think we can forego “professional athlete“, and other real general things like "military officer".
I’ll get the ball rolling:
Taxi Driver: Crazy Taxi series, Smashing Drive, GTA2 and 3
Pizza Man: Radikal Bikers, GTA Vice
Paramedic: GTA3, (What was the name of the Sega Ambulance game?)
Zoologist : Jambo Safari
Pilot: Airline Pilot
Fireman: Brave Fire Fighters
paper boy: Paperboy
bartender: Tapper
lumberjack: Timber
cook: Burgertime, Cooking Fighter
cop: All Points Bulletin, all the Police Quest games
exterminator: Cheeky Mouse
military grunt: Combat School
zoo keeper: Zoo Keeper
biologist/zoologist/whatever: Tranquilizer Gun

Wasn't that ass poking game called Boompaboompa? Not that it matters though. I'd poke someone in the eye with a stick to see that game in real life though. Who comes up with an idea like that, and who gives the green light to make it?
Demolition worker: Blast Corps.
Serving community service by cleaning graphitti: Mario Sunshine
Theme park owner: Roller Coaster Tycoon
Technician for a power hungry, corrupt corporation: Half life (a stretch, I know)
