Clergyman. Relatively comfortable life in a structure considered "sanctuary", I won't be expected to participate in war (unless you count the occasional blessing of troops), I could spend most of my time reading/writing, I'd have a better understanding of the Holy Book because I could actually READ it instead of hearing snippets in sermons, I'd be surrounded by pretty objects a lot of the time, and I could flail the Pope's name around to get what I want / shame people who want things of me.

Probably some sort of Scribe, but as a reading-writing lady my job would probably have been `Being Burnt at the Stake for Being a Witch`.

i hope I'm not the only one who realises that 99% of us would be serfs

also the best would be a minor aristocrat

Doctor. Its the easier job. "I recommend leeches" and if that doesn't work, "cut off the offending limb" and if its your head or chest, "we did all we could but your blood is bad." Simple.

I have been a serving wench at Medieval Times for about a year now. I carry heavy shit and I throw it on peoples' plates. Being a jerk and getting paid: I go with my talents.
I make a bangin' wench.

Considering how my surname means 'anvil' i'm going to go with the crafting. Since we're pretty sure that's what my ancestors did to earn the name.

What I'd like: Some fancy pancy position in the aristocracy. Get money from family, do nothing, enjoy life, profit.

What I'd probably end up as: Street urchin, due to me lacking many qualities that would be important for labour and riches at the time. 1: I'm an extremely slow thinker, not all that charismatic nor intelligent. 2: I'm off a lower middle class family. 3: I have a condition that makes my body skinnier and bonier (making my body both unappealing and my bones more vulnerable to damage in general), I also have a harder time building muscle.

So wee, it's to the streets with me! Time to beg!

Realistically: Probably a farmer. Most people were farmers or something similar. I would probably be ok with it since I like nature/animals.

Hopefully: Some kind of a educated man.

Alright, alright. I'll go get the pants that have a flap where my arse is.

Shall I juggle chainsaws or fine wenches today, sire?

Assassin, mercenary, outlaw. With my trusty bow and daggers of iron I shall prevail. Your not gona live past 40 so might as well live hard and fast before some bad meat kills you.

Fighter would be a piss-poor choice since the medicine skills were severely lacking at that time. Bard would be my profession of choice!
