Let’s play.

You know you want to.

If you’re like me you’ve held multiple jobs in your life. Some you liked, some you hated.

So let’s have some fun by picking a profession from this 1881 list.

What would you have been doing?

Choose and defend.

I’m going with turnip shepherd. There’s got to be a lot of down time with this career. Turnips aren’t well known for straying… so I’m imaging myself kicked back under a shade tree tending my flock with a good book and a pitcher of margaritas.

How about you…

How would you be earning a living in 1881?

  1. I only take small jobs so I’d probably be the proprietor of midgets. One of those jobs where nothing happens, nothing happens, nothing happens… then, “The director of the Wizard of Oz would like to see you”…

  3. With an eye toward the future I’m going with “Fatuous Pauper”. If I can teach my descendants that it’s possible to be broke, stupid and happy, they may someday rise to the level of “Village idiot” or even “Upper class English Twit”.

  5. Sampler of drugs – now there’s a public service. I once worked for a drug crisis intervention service and folks would call us for product reviews. Electric bath attendant scares me. I remember showers in Ecuador that were heated by running the shower through an electric coil. I took cold showers. Americans should realize that to knock someone up has a different meaning in England than in the US. I suspect it meant to knock on their doors to wake them for work, not to impregnate them. But Cow-banger might be where you could find your pleasure if you’re into that sort of thing.

    But as for what you asked, I probably wouldn’t be able to stick with one, since I didn’t in this life.
