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

Post by aaatoysandmore »

Continuing on with our conversation about the past and how we could deal with it. Considering what you do for a living now what would you have been back then with hardly any schools or colleges to goto. Of course there were a few but only the elite got to goto them. So, what would you have done? I'd be interested in what Iain and Erik would have done or been. [:D]

Realistically I think my job would be target practice [:(]
I can see no skill I have translating to anything before 1950ish

A Condottiero (leader of a band of mercenaries) serving various lords in Central and North Italy seems a lot of fun. But in the end I suspect I would end up as Wolfe's "associate", selling er... those things hanging [:D]

As they didn't need programmers back then, I had been a lord, spending my time with tournaments and joining campaigns and crusades. Alternatively, if not highborn, a man-at-arms.
