In the cartoon, The Flintstones, what did Barney Rubble do for a living?

Answer 1

cool! great minds think alike! there is a girl on here asked the exact same question as this the other day! :)

As young adults, Barney and Fred worked as bellhops at a resort, where they first met Wilma and Betty. Eventually, Barney married Betty (as Fred did Wilma).

Several episodes and spinoffs suggest that Barney, along with Fred, spent some time in the army early in their marriages.

While the subject of Barney's occupation (or where he even worked) was never given during the original series, subsequent spinoffs suggest Barney went to work at the Slate Rock and Gravel Company quarry alongside Fred, at some point after the original series' episodes take place, possibly in some office role. One episode had Fred inadvertently getting him fired, then helping Barney finding work as a repo man who ended up having to repossess Fred's TV set. One of the original series does have a brief scene of Barney working at the "Granite Building" {Empire State Building?}. Another original series episode has Barney helping Fred at a Hamburger joint they had bought. Betty implies that Barney is in "top secret" work but that may merely be a cover for a low level job or unemployment. In one episode Barney's boss tells him to "put down his broom," which implies some sort of janitorial works is involved. Barney seems to know most of Fred's coworkers and is often around the quarry so perhaps Barney works at a different part of the quarry or at least somewhere very close to it.
