A to Z - Profesiones realmente raras o en visos de extinguirse

A little birdie passed on this idea to me which I hope you will enjoy. smile

The game is to follow alphabetically naming jobs that are now defunct or at least very rare. And mention the country where you can still find this job!! (unless they are totally extinct of course, lol)

Game rules :

Post your comments/titles/captions both in Spanish and English and vote for the ones you like.

Follow in alphabetical order

Don't forget to click on NEWEST to see the last letter.

It would be nice if also post a PICTURE of someone doing the job or if you can't find one then a picture at least of something that the job involves, eg a tool or a finished job etc.

NB: Be on the lookout for any job which doesn't fit the criteria - anyone who names such jobs (waiter, teacher, etc etc) will merit being sent straight to the dunce corner so watch out!

Don't forget to correct your posts as suggested. Do NOT use subject pronouns!

Posts which are not corrected as suggested can NOT be "accepted".

I (with a little help from a friend, lol) will start us off with:

**

Afilador - Knife Sharpener
