Tips / Samples
I chose Powder-monkey as number 1 because it was very dangerous with lots of death. Also children had to do the job. I chose chimney sweep as number 2 because it caused a lot of long term medical conditions and once again children were used. I chose dog/cat catcher as number 9 because it didn't seem like a hard job compared to the others. It's still a job which is done today (without animal creulty). Really it gave people mental stress while the others tested people physically and mentally.
