If you had a job in the past what would it be?

For me personally, I'd like to either be a blacksmith or a lamp lighter.

Ever since I was in the 4th or 5th grade I wanted to be a blacksmith. I took up welding in trade school, so I have some metal working experience. But to hand forge things would be awesome and they do have blacksmithing school. Paul Revere was actually a silversmith and made many of the brass fittings for the oldest sea worthy ship in the world. The USS Constitution.

Being a lamp lighter seems like a fun job. I don't know.

Chimney sweep also sounds interesting. Chimney sweeps still exist today, but many homes now don't have a real wood burning fireplace. I can only imagine that the job of chimney sweep will be a thing of the past.

Stagecoach driver

Did you know the slang term, "riding shotgun" came from the dude who sat next to the stagecoach driver with a shotgun?

"I call shotgun!" **Brings Mossberg into the car.** LMAO

graffiti artist, in the year 2005. Instead of cash, I 'd take stock as payment to paint murals in the hq of a little start-up called Facebook.

Serf.

LOL! I just updated my Facebook statues as emotional and said I was tired of being a poor serf 20 min ago.

Years of training and apprenticeship required; then you need to be accepted into the guild.

Perhaps you could start out as a butt-wipe?

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Serf.

This.

Or in my case, dead serf. Possibly wolfbait.

Being very, very nearsighted is not much of an advantage.

[Jaepheth]

Most likely whatever my father happened to be doing.

If I had a choice I'd probably go with blacksmith, carpenter, or baker.

Railroad magnate.

[SlitheryDee]

After watching The Knick I think I'd like to have been a surgeon discovering modern medicine. Doesn't matter if you kill your patients and you get all the cocaine you can stand.

whatever profession Telsa had

 

[Fanatical Meat]

whatever profession Telsa had

That would be "mad scientist"

 

[Red Squirrel]

Probably carpenter or similar trade. Maybe blacksmith. I'd like to say someone like Tesla or Alexander Graham Bell, but in all reality have to give a LOT of credit to those guys, there was no internet or even research books on those subjects, they came up with that stuff on their very own.

 

[lxskllr]

Blacksmith, stone mason, or tobacco shop owner.

 

[ksheets]

Print-Press operator. I'd still be on the cutting edge of communication technology 😛

 

[DrPizza]

Goat herder... obviously. Else a contemporary of Newton or someone like that.
