Tosher. Someone who scavenged in the sewers, especially in London during the Victorian era.

How flattering.

Venefica sorceress. A Roman slave girl who concocts and applies potions and poison for several reasons, chiefly to assist in carrying out revenge.

I swear that I only read about poisons because they're interesting! :unsure:

and on another interesting note, one of my grandfather's childhood jobs was to be a leech catcher!

Link-boy. A boy who carried a flaming torch to light the way for pedestrians at night. Linkboys were common in London in the days before street lighting. (100%)

Apparently this quiz is very conflicted about my gender("No" on male and "Yes" on female was overly oblique I suppose).

Well it was a tie between this and the Ice Man. I don't like the cold so my career options were limited.

Jester... I had to be a jester. :17425: At least it wasn't "Court Dwarf" (which was second on my list).

Court Dwarf

Court dwarfs would surround the king during his public appearances and ceremonies. Because they were so small, the king appeared much larger. Thus they visually enhanced his powerful position.

Moirologist (or professional mourner). A person paid to lament or deliver a eulogy.

Omo is this just because I said I can cry and wail on command? -.- Even made it low priority *sigh* But I like it lol, I think I could be strangely good at it.

My lowest score: Knocker-up. Before alarm clocks were affordable or reliable. A knocker-up's job was to rouse sleeping people so they could get to work on time. (lol definitely because I was like no way to early hours.)

Same here. Moirologist (or professional mourner). A person paid to lament or deliver a eulogy.

Not sure it's obsolete though, we could probably land a gig nowadays too.
