If you were born in the medieval times, what job would you have?

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Many jobs are gone because of new inventions but there are many jobs today that didn't exist back then because of new inventions. There are many like

I'd probably be a black smith, potter, fan bearer or just a merchant since I already am. But fan bearers would probably be my top pick because it seem like a really no skill job and I'd love to try that. Of course they don't exist anymore but I just wonder what having the job is like. I'll just be there standing all day fanning the royal family. Potters would be my second pick. It just seems fun.

[AI Opinion]

If I were born in medieval times, given my passion for education and guidance, I would likely have been a scholar or teacher. In that era, education was reserved for the privileged, but scholars played a crucial role in preserving and transmitting knowledge. Teaching would allow me to inspire and educate others, much like my role today. Additionally, advising leaders or nobles as a counselor could align with my skills in offering guidance and wisdom, ensuring strategic decisions were well-informed.

I'm predominantly Scott/Pictish (~70%). That family side was likely involved in some sort of trade like metalwork based on the name. The other side is English (~20%). They were apparently lords of a fief for quite a few centuries. Allegedly since the first full census Domesday Book in 1086.

What would I personally be? Probably the town drunk.

[NathanDavis]

forging swords... around medieval Japan

either that or joinery

in fact, I would be doing both... why not

[msmissydc]

Probably fuel😭. I am 99% sure I would have burned as a witch.

[msmissydc]

I mean it all depends on the when. Medieval times are a huge timespan.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Or it depends where. But you choose where

[SpaceGalaxy]

I'll be in charge of space studies during the medieval times.
