Don't say "you guys claim that the estimates from this procedure would
be meaningless" --Stas agreed with the basic approach, as do I, since
it is standard and easily understood. Stas almost gave you the
answer:
regress depvar whatever i.occupation
predict res, res
egen s = sd( res ), by( occupation )
g newerror = s*rnormal()
