What would your job have been in the 1500's to 20th century?

[Gilmer]

I'd have lied and said I was a son of royalty.

Was Franklin a lover of international repute then?

[british exil]

I would be doing the same job as I learnt, watchmaker/clockmaker. Without our knowledge Britain would not have ruled the Seas.

Mat

[Agathosdaimon]

I would love to have been a painter in spain or italy or and printmaker in one of the Germanic cities.

[Twotribes]

Professional soldier.I am not from an aristocratic family so no Knighthood for me.

[Chickenboy]

Same as now - International Lover.

Remember, my good sir-Penicillin won't be discovered for centuries yet!

[Chickenboy]

The 'professional' trades, I reckon. Horse tender, shepherd or other animal husbandry-related profession. Nothing glamorous.

[Anguille]

I guess i would have taken over the business of my dad, whatever that is.

[Curtis Lemay]

Assuming I made it through child mortality, I probably would have been burned at the stake.

[Zap]

Catholic Priest

That is what most of us would have done. But it is nice to dream of swords and swashbuckling.

[CGGrognard]

Cabin boy or quartermaster here...that's considering I was born in a coastal city unlike real life, where my birth State didn't even exist until the 19th century.

[Zorch]

Court jester (and whipping boy)

[Will_L_OLD]

Realistically... probably a dog crap gatherer for a tanner [8|] or a hanger-on at court, pretty much the the same thing [:'(]

[bairdlander2]

I would be the same as I am now,a carpenter/scaffolder

[doomtrader]

I would like to be a butcher.

Skilled with hatchet and well feed.

[Jamm]

A Knight looking for a shrubbery,...

[aaatoysandmore]

I think I would have like to have been a Priest. Priest like meat sacrifices and you know good and well they didn't let those cooked animals of sacrifice goto waste. From what I've seen Priests are pretty well fed. How many skinny priests have you ever seen?
