This Week’s Words of Wisdom: Jamison Green (born November 8, 1948)
This is great. So eclectic. The guide to getting a job in ancient Greece was so clever! I also found the video of the ramen preparation fascinating especially since that little shop has a Michelin star rating.
Reading "How to Get a Job in Classical Athens: A Time Traveler's Guide" I was surprised there were jobs available for women other than slavery or marriage. Some examples: a woman could be a shopkeeper in the market, a mid-wife or work in textile production. I think I would choose a job as a professional weaver.
