I'd be a smith. It's something on my 'going to learn this' list in real life, and I already make jewelery and sculpture.
I'd be the actual power behind the throne MUAHAHAHAH
but truly I'd rather be a lord with a small piece of land away from stupid wars.

I'd be a Fighter for a couple of reasons,
1.) I have a fascination for medieval weaponry and actually getting to use some in a real battle sounds awesome.
2.) It'd be the quickest way for me to hurry up and die since living in the Medieval era would likely suck.
3.) If I'm lucky, I might just eventually get a higher position and do well enough to be awarded land that I earn in conquest which I can rent off to Farmers thus making life not completely suck.
Or get executed for heresy or witchcraft?
Edit: Perhaps I'll instead just use my knowledge of History to predict the future and become recognized as a prophet or something.

But what happens if you were to cause society to advance past the Medieval era?martin said:

pft how about a member of the clergy, I get to boss around the nobles, and generally be corrupt while fleecing the peasants for what little wealth they have. While terrifying them about hell. Plus I can make the nobles pay me or else I excommunicate their asses and next thing you know they are social outcasts. If someone really gets on my nerves it's inquisition time.
Maybe a daring thief or a infamous highwayman, or a time traveller from our time you know so i could have a gun, gives me a nice advantage
Technically most of the soldiers were also manual labor/farmers in their time off. There was very little in the way of professional soldiers except for the nobility and their bodyguards. (Sorry historian in me speaking up)
That said I wouldn't mind be a crasftsman. Maybe a Miller, since it takes some skill and would actually be fairly interesting. Also helps that I worked at a 400 year old mill for a summer so I more or less understand its workings. Hucking frogs into it might take some getting used to mind...

So my fine motor sucks and I hate manual labor, and I'd rather not be "Law", whatever that is. And I suck at medicine and don't want to die a week after I join the army.
That leaves monarch and entertainer. Eh, I'll go with entertainer. Probably realistically what I would have been (that, and philosopher/astronomer isn't up there, otherwise I'd be that)

A warrior of some sort, probably a foot soldier. I would prefer a knight, but I don't know how to ride a horse.
