About This Quiz

Career choices are some of the biggest life decisions we make. They determine how much money we make, how stressed out we are, how many children we can afford, and how much free time we have to pursue our other interests. These days, job seekers are spoiled for ways to find that perfect job. There are many websites that allow job seekers to post their resumes, portfolios, and references. There are simple job boards. There are headhunters who seek people with special qualifications for jobs that can take them anywhere in the world.

In biblical times, things were not so easy. Most people simply did what their parents did. Most career changes resulted from cataclysmic events like wars, famines, or natural disasters. Migration caused people to change careers sometimes, and factors like land ownership or professional skills really helped to determine one's career path.

We've figured out a way to make this much easier for you. So you can be best prepared for the possibility of having to find employment in biblical times, we will be your guidance counselor. Just answer some "would you rather" questions and we will tell you which biblical job is right for you!
