Question of the Day - Tuesday, September 19

[cassiopea]

Greetings! Happy Tuesday





If you lived 1,000 years ago, what do you imagine your profession would be?




I would like to say I would be a scribe for medieval manuscripts, or a minstrel. But a farmer or a weaver would be a possibility too

 

[Mia6]

Queen Mia of Ohio. ha!

 

[Lari]

A mother. And a peasant.

 

[neely]

A calligrapher or same as now, i.e. a teacher.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Probably the same thing I do now; raising and educating my kids. And it probably would stand out as unusual less.

 

[maggiedemi]

Housewife & Cat Mom!!!!

 

[FeralHearts]

Probably the local healer.

 

[kashmir64]

If I stayed with my lineage I would probably be a boat maker. However, since I am female, I would most likely be a weaver.
Although I'd like to be a warrior.

 

[susanm9006]

Farmer’s wife, cook, gardener.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

As a woman, my options are super limited, so probably just a wife and mother.

 

[Norachan]

As a woman, my options are super limited, so probably just a wife and mother.

Hopefully I would have been born a man so I could be a carpenter or something. Being female must have been pretty grim 1,000 years ago

Same. Best option would have been to be a nun.

 

[kashmir64]

Being female must have been pretty grim 1,000 years ago

It was pretty grim 50-60 years ago.

 

[vansX2]

Perhaps a Merchant or Shop Keeper.

 

[aliceneko]

I wouldn't fancy my chances on either side of my family 1000 years ago. I can imagine being a disabled woman in any scenario back then was pretty grim.
