Yeaaaah man.
I'm doing this assignment for my marketing class and we're studying like different generations and crap and employment trends etc etc.

Basically I just need like a list of 20 or something jobs that grandparents do.

Since I don't know that many elderly people..
Simply post what your grandpa does and what your grandma does.
I'd also appreciate if you put how long they've been doing it but it's fine if you don't know.

Thaaaank you.

Well my grandpa was a farmer for a bit as well but then he moved more into the city and then just retired. My grandma I actually haven't talked to in a bit of time so I don't know :P Last time I checked she was doing some artistic stuff + she had a little farm of her own.

My Grandad (Mum's dad) was a coal miner, then a lorry driver. My other Grandad worked at a brewery.

My Nana (Mum's mum) worked in the laundret at a Nursing Home and I have no idea was my other Nana did.

I think the pattern is that back in our Grandparents time, there was alot of employment in the primary and secondary sector, however as it is now cheaper to do primary sector work abroad, there has been a decrease in the primary and secondary dector and a increase in the teriorty sector.
