I enter occupations as an event which is tied to a date and place. That way I can record as many occupations for a person as apply. For example, the 1870 and 1880 US censuses of Kansas show my great-granfather as a farmer. An 1892 city directory shows he was a stone mason while living in Colorado and the 1900 census show him to be a minister in Salem, Oregon. Legacy does not have a specific field designated for occupation The problem of entering occupations into fields not meant for them will cause problems for others if you export a GEDCOM file to them. I have a relative who put occupations in the USER ID field in Legacy and it was a mess moving them all one by one into events or notes.
