The work of their days
Sample questions about jobs and unpaid work. Not a course.
Give a year of stories: $69, one-time, never renewsAbout these questions
These are sample questions from different parts of life: childhood, food, love, work, holidays, and places. Your family can write their own. Family questions go first after the current question. The storyteller can skip any question.
Sample questions
- What was the first job you were paid for, and what did you do with the pay?
- Pick one job or role. What did an ordinary day look like?
- Who worked near you, and what was that person like on a busy day?
- What did you hope to spend your days doing, and what did you end up doing?
- What's a skill the work forced you to learn?
- What's a role you were proud of, whether or not it paid?
- What's a mistake that changed how you did the work afterward? (Skip if you'd rather.)
- What work did you see adults around you doing, paid or not?
- What's something you changed your mind about after years of doing it?
- How did you like to mark the end of a long day?
- What's a tool, uniform, desk, or counter you still remember?
- What kind of work do you hope someone who loves you understands?
