Exploring careers
If you are a student or thinking about a career change, generate ten jobs and sort them into three columns: interesting, maybe and not for me. For the interesting ones, look up the required training, typical salary in your country and what a normal working day looks like. Many people discover that their ideal job is one they had simply never heard described.
Writing and role-play
A character's job shapes how they talk, what they notice and who they know. A paramedic stays calm in a crisis; a locksmith sizes up every door; a meteorologist always knows when it will rain. Generate a job for each character to add instant depth.
Classroom activities
Teachers can generate one job per student and ask them to research it, present three facts or act out a typical task for the class to guess. It is a playful introduction to the world of work for younger pupils and a starting point for career guidance with older ones.
Party games
Play What's my job?: one person draws a random job and the others ask yes/no questions until they guess it.
