In reality, Im either a hooker, or a baby producer nearing the golden years

Probably still a lawyer (law student to be precise).

Liberal environmentalist.

Ah and from your location I take it your getting on that boat outta Cobh!

Kold

Um. Same job. Artist.

JangoFett

I'd get a ticket to the new fangled "America" I've heard about and become a Highwayman, stealing from the rich English oppressors and giving their wives and daughters a good rogering!!

HAVE ATCHA!! <-- The Irish for "Have at Thee!"

6th

Blacksmith. FACT.

Mr. CooL ICE

Doctor. One of the last ones who stabs people in the elbow to cure fevers

Gone West

realistically either a farmer or a factory worker.

seamus

With my gimpy eyesight, probably something mundane like a cobbler or a blacksmith or maybe a watchmaker.

Depends on how rich my family was. If we had money, I'd be one of those science-y types living in a university. If we were poor, one of the above mentioned trades.

If my eyesight wasn't gimpy, I'd probably be a soldier.

KTRIC

Assassin and part time murderer for the IRB

That'd be the life what with all the murdering and such :cool:

LouOB

married with 5 kids and taking valium to 'know my place' in society
not by choice - it was just society and culture back then

Captain Darling

ex-leper.

pedro ferio-vti

I've thought about this too. I think i'd be dead by now.... but if I wasn't, i'd be a vagrant, infantry grunt or a stable man workery type person all depending on whether my theory that starting at computer screens for most of my day has in fact made me blind..

Predhead

Defo an outlaw with a six-shooter on each hip and a rifle in my arms.

Robbing banks, stagecoaches etc, the cliché kid they'd call me! :pac:

Dr_Teeth

I'd be spending my days picking rocks out of fields to grow potatos on the Dingle peninsula (not the job I'd want, but given my family history, the job I'd have had). Mind you, I'd probably be married, with kids, and a house I built myself for next to nothing.. and I'd be able to speak my native language.. so it wouldn't have been all bad.

stevoman

court jester!

Rob_l

200 hundred years ago hopefully I would have been able to gain employment for the crown guarding the walls of fair Dublin from invasion by culchies
