Pick your new career!

PostPick your new career! by **Moggy** » Thu Jul 25, 2024 11:15 am

We all hate the jobs available in the modern world and so I think we should revive some of these.

I'm assuming that I would not be allowed to be a Lady's Companion and so I have set my sights on becoming a Sluggard Waker.

As church attendance is down, I'll have to expand the business to violently waking people up in other situations. Fall asleep in the cinema? WHACK on the head. An employee drifts off in a work meeting? I'll SMASH them in the face. Snooze on a train? I'll SLAP you when you're approaching your station.

What obsolete job would you want?

Definitely garden hermit. Might as well get paid for it.

Donkey Puncher for me.

Soda jerk, mostly because it's also a song by Buffalo Tom

Knocker-up for me. A great way to get back at my annoying neighbours.

Knocker Upper was a bit underwhelming

Most of them are to be honest.

Runemaster actually sounds pretty cool though. I would enjoy that I think.

I can picture the etsy shop now. :lol:

You're allowed to spice it up for the modern era.

The position seems to be taken already

Some of those jobs are definitely not obsolete.

Nope, I do my job to the description. Nothing more, nothing less.

Germanic Seeress sounds suitably mystic.

I'd love to get a job as a coffee sniffer.
