I have a fringer in a group I GM for, and I don't know what they do for a living. All I know is that they live on the fringes. The section in the Core rulebook had nothing useful, and I am very confused.
What does a fringer do for a living?
They sent (apparently with success) FFG an application to be scriptured for the next Wave for X-Wing
Honestly, dunno. Miners maybe?
Where is the campaign set? What particular skills and talents does the character have? Those two factors can give some insight into possibilities.

Could suggest by looking at his skills whether he's a mechanic or a delivery driver... maybe even a short order cook?!
I think they even covered cookery in an Order 66 podcast!
Ask them what they'd see their character working as... but make it clear you're asking what they did in the past since that could also be used as a future subplot be careful how you phrase that question though!

Go get yourself a copy of Far Horizons. The back half of the book is dedicated to homestead and business and more of a location based character than your nomad wandering tramp freighter character.
It's kinda up to you what he does for a living. You could consider Luke a "Fringer" character when he started, and he worked on his family's farm.
He could be a street urchin, could work in a shop, could be unemployed... there's nothing specific that's required, you can decide for yourself.

He does whatever. Being a Fringer isn't about what you do for a living, it's about where you live: on the edges of civillization, backwater planets like Tatooine and the like. A Fringer could be a mechanic, or a hunter, or a shop owner, or anything else. The central concept of the spec is that he lives where no one else wants to (or can) and still manages to get by on toughness and perseverance.

And he means ANYTHING...

A bakery?
A Fringer is more of a term like Rural, so sort of like whatever "Rural" folks do to live that isn't defined by any of the other careers. However all of these careers are really about what the PCs did before the spotlight hit them, now they are the heroes in your story.
