 What
are you going to be when you grow up?
Medieval Jobs
Architect – design buildings. Everyone’s building in the
Gothic style these days – pointed arches, lots of stained glass windows.
Can you build a Cathedral that’s bigger than the Cathedral in the next town?
Tailor – clothes-maker. There are no sewing machines, so
you’ll need to do everything by hand. Make hose, breeches, and surcoats
for the men, chemises and wimples for the women, and tunics for everyone.
Barber – cut hair and shave beards. Barbers also do a lot
of basic first aid, so this job is not for the squeamish.
Helmetmaker, armorer, swordmaker
– there are lots of battles, and every knight needs his helmet, armor, and
sword!
Blacksmith – this work is strenuous and dangerous as you
prepare various metals in a furnace and use it to make horseshoes, nails, wire,
plowshares, wheel rims, cooking pots, and the like.
Goldsmith, silversmith – make jewelry and fine
dishes and utensils. Must be clever with your hands and good at design.
Tanner – turn animal hides into leather. A nasty, smelly
job… but you can make a good living.
Miller – Everyone will bring their grain to you to be ground
into flour. There’s a great demand for honest millers.
Fuller – bleach and dye cloth. Another messy, smelly job.
Farmer – hasn’t changed much at all! Raise crops and
livestock and sell for a profit.
Midwife – Help women who are going to have a baby. Note:
this job is open to female applicants only.
Troubador – Sing popular songs and play instruments.
Church Jobs – there are dozens of jobs in the Church.
Women can be nuns or prioresses, men can be monks, priests, abbots, and bishops.
You’ll do a lot of praying and preaching, singing and working. It’s a good
life!
