The thing about Lumpy is that there are many jobs he's supposed to be terrible at, but in the show, he's rather good at it, or if not, then wasn't incompetent.

For example, no one would suggest that Lumpy would make a good dentist, yet he actually was a good dentist in Chew Said a Mouthful. Or Lumpy could not ever be good at optometry, yet he was good enough to prescribe the right prescription to Russell and give Mole a seeing eye dog. Or that he would make a terrible farmer. But wasn't exactly incompetent, as he managed to even raise a giant corn cob and win state fair, and exploit the pod Lumpy's to work his farm. And sure, he was terrible at Don't Yank My Chain as a police officer, but in A Bit of a Pickle, he wasn't incompetent. As a leader, he was good enough, or popular enough, that he all the other characters were willing at one time or another to be subordinate to him, at one job or another.

Having said that, here are some of my thoughts.

Cuddles - Tailor - Cuddles is too adventurous and daring to just sit around and sewing clothes.

Toothy - Doctor - If he was as competent as a doctor as he was a dentist...

Giggles - Oil Extractor - her environmental attitude would prevent her from exploring for oil

Petunia - Combat Soldier - Soldiers get necessarily dirty, and so...

Flaky - Daredevil, for obvious reasons.

Sniffles - Janitor - I could imagine Sniffles trying to invent various contraptions to clean the floor, only for it to backfire spectacularly. Generally for Sniffles, the simpler the job, the more terrible he is at it for he tends to think of the most complicated solutions.

Pop - Babysitter (since being a father is not a job). And barber (since he never had a job as a barber so he meets the criteria, but we saw his barbering skills in the show)

Nutty - Donut shop worker. He would eat all the items he is selling.

Splendid - Lifeguard. He would kill most of the swimmers he intend to "save".

Handy - Writer. You need hands to write.

Disco Bear - Fitness Guru - His lifestyle would prevent him from being taken seriously at this job.

Russell - Mountain Climber - He would rather prefer that his jobs be related to water, or the sea.

Lammy - Teacher - Mr Pickles would kill all her students.

Mime - Disc Jockey - For obvious reasons.

The Mole - Play by play announcer of sports. Can't see, can't talk. How can he do this job?

Flippy - Pilot - All those planes would remind him of war.

Shifty and Lifty - Volunteers at charitable institutions - They'd steal things that were donated.

Lumpy - It could be anything, or nothing. He could be good, or he could be terrible, at any job they gave him. If I had to choose, it would be a pilot, since he apparently does not know that using many technical equipment would cause the plane to wobble in the air.
