Robert8 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I'm a chemist. So, I guess I'd be an alchemist What about you? Quote
fred67 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Court Jester (I work in television). Quote
Alfadas Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I don't have a job yet, just being in school. But when I finish school, I guess I'd be a animal tamer/seller. (studying to become animal care taker) Quote
Robianco Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I work in design/marketing and as such I suppose part of my job is to persuade people to use a particular service over another and to guide people's opinions. So either an advisor to help sway opinion or a snake oil seller! ;) Quote
Gremer Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I'm guessing I'd be a serf. Being a courtesy clerk really isn't something to be proud of. Quote
legoman19892 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Diving into the king's treasure. Quote
Piratedave84 Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I'd probably be a Town Crier; I work in a high-volume government call center providing general information on federal programs and services. Quote
Vectormatic Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 probably a carpenter/signmaker Im a programmer, so i make websites and business software, the closest thing i can think of in medieval times would be making desks for clericks, or filing cabinets, or simple tools for other people to use for work.

Dannylonglegs Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Apothecary assistant. I'm the clerk at an independent pharmacy. ~insectoid Aristocrat Quote
Heppeng Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I am an Engineer now so I guess I would be a Blacksmith. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I after a bit a searching and comparing I suppose I am close to a Lord of the Manor. I am in property management and run a multi-tenant office building. I also repair various minor things inside the building, from carpentry, plumbing, electrical, etc. Not sure what that would be, as it seemed most specialised in a singular field (locksmith, blacksmith, carpenter, etc) Quote
rodiziorobs Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I, too, am a chemist. But since alchemist is already taken, I'll claim the title of wizard Quote
GallardoLU Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 designer/engineer here so I'd go with clockmaker, a mash up of design esthetics and engineering. Quote
Jedi_mind_brick Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Since I work in retail, I suppose mine would be closest to a merchant. Quote
The Lego Nolan Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Valet. I have no clue how that one would work. Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Valet. I have no clue how that one would work. Coachman? Stable Attendant? ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited September 26, 2015 by Dannylonglegs Quote
Robert8 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 Some interesting medieval jobs here Quote
LAKAbricks Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Innkeeper, I guess... Then I could work in a charming inn like this and have the fair maiden as my colleague I am working in at the front desk in a hotel. Quote
Borex Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I would be a storyteller or a painter Quote
Meisterschnorrer Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Hi I work in a big chemical plant. So I think I´m a big scale alchemist :) Quote
Hemlock Falls Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 I'm an art teacher, so I guess I'd be doing kind of the same thing. Except I'd have students like Michelangelo and Vermeer. Quote
LAKAbricks Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 I'm an art teacher, so I guess I'd be doing kind of the same thing. Except I'd have students like Michelangelo and Vermeer. ... And you do not have that now? Quote
Hemlock Falls Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 ... And you do not have that now? Oh no, not even close. I work in an inner city high school in NY. (Not New York City) A lot of these teenagers wouldn't be able to pass third grade in the suburbs, and half of them can't write their own names in bubble letters. They spend more time trying to throw stuff at each other than they ever do trying to draw or paint. I spend more time breaking up fights and babysitting than I do teaching the other few kids who could learn something from me. So, to stay in tune with this topic, I think I was mistaken. I guess in the Middle Ages I'd be unemployed because I don't think they had a welfare system back then to keep people like this alive. Quote
Iria Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Medieval: Cartographer probably Modern: Geoscientist/ Geographer/ Field Assistant/ student for more than 80% of my life Dream medieval & modern occupation: Renaissance [wo]man Here's a long list of medieval jobs if anyone is looking for a counterpart. Any takers on these interesting occupations: silk-snatcher - one who steals bonnets sexton - minor church officer - rings bells, digs graves broom-dasher - maker of brooms hayward - an officer in charge of fences and hedges Edited September 27, 2015 by Iria Quote
6ix Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 I guess I would be an inquisitor of sorts, like William of Baskerville, since my job is looking for evidence of crimes (I work in forensics). Quote
