What are Walter and Donny's occupations (when the events in the movie are unfolding)?
The only detail I can remember that can give a hint on what Walter's job was in The Big Lebowski, is that he works in Security, as written in his van:
Can't remember anything for Donny. Is there another hint in the movie on what Donny's job could be and what Walter's job in Security is, specifically?
Best Answer
Walter owns his own security store. He is clearly in front of Sobchak Security store when The Dude picks him up to go pay the ransom.
The fact that he is a Viet Nam vet, is into arms, interrogation, and security is exceedingly important to the movie.
As for Donny's day job, I have no clue. Great question though.

Answer 2
During first scene at the bowling alley, Donny is wearing a cleaning company’s jacket:
This tells me he is a janitor/cleaner
Answer 3
Having watched the movie a few times, As far as I can tell no where in the movie is Donny's job indirectly or directly expressed (I could be wrong). However we can infer from the plot and overall theme of the movie the following
They all have places they live which costs money
They all bowl which costs money
For the most part they have decent clothes which cost money
Logically they all have to have some sort of income. My guess is they have some sort of slacker time part time jobs along with some sort of other income.
