I'm a gasfitter. I install furnaces/airconditioners..and service them I guess my job is fairly modern.
Then you have jobs like doctors/bakers/tailors/carpenters that have been around forever. Just wondering.

With advances in science those jobs that you listed have changed dramatically as well.

I help restrain patients in an illegal dental clinic. It's a pretty old profession, maybe 400 years old?

I'm guessing if you were given the choice between a modern doctor and a doctor from 1920 you'd probably pick the modern one. Originally Posted by Jayburner

We all share an ancient hobby at least.
If we count rock-chiseled graffiti, shitposting is thousands of years old!

Male playboy, the oldest profession of them all!
But in honesty - on and off clerk jobs, trying to finish my degree to get some real thing.
Jay is a gasman, I'm surprised and worried at the same time.

2017-03-25, 06:44 PM #9DeletedThe profession of bakers could potentially change fundamentally but for some reason there seems to be only markets for "traditional" food. I want synthetic strudels and artificial apple pie from ingredients never tasted before! Originally Posted by Mifuyne

I'm pretty much an absolutist when it comes to alcohol, but I'd have a drink with you! Originally Posted by Jayburner

Welder. I would say fairly modern even though the practice dates back centuries. Instead of heating two pieces of metal in a forge and beating them together we use electricity and filler material.

So Mmo's favourite firestarter works with furnaces all day? I don't see what could go wrong there.

I dont have a job and stay at home mostly. I belong to the autism spectrum or whatever.
I subsist on my disability grant + occasional fees from translating / book reviews.

Almost as modern as possible. I'm an electronics technician for an oil and gas company.
