Character Jobs or Occupations

Most people think of themselves in terms of their jobs. "I'm a veterinarian." "I'm a writer." Your characters probably do too. This is the beginning of a list of jobs/professions/careers which you can give your characters. Right now my main list is contemporary jobs. The medieval/fantasy and future/science fiction jobs lists are pretty sketchy. If you want to add to this list, please do! E-mail me at juliaw-nospam@attglobal.net (of course, remove "-nospam" to use this).
