Hey kids! What do YOU want to be when you grow up?!

Reprint edition, Devon: Latimer Trend & Co., Ltd., 1969. Full original citation (you'd better grab a drink and sit down) is:

The London Tradesman. Being a COMPENDIOUS VIEW of All the TRADES, PROFESSIONS, ARTS, both Liberal and Mechanic, now practiced in the Cities of London and Westminster. CALCULATED for the Information of PARENTS, and Instruction of YOUTH in their Choice of BUSINESS.... THE WHOLE Delivered in an Easy, Familiar STYLE, suitable to the meanest Capacity, and containing RULES worthy the Knowledge and Observation of PERSONS OF ALL RANKS, who are Entrusted with the Settlement of YOUTH. To which is added, an APPENDIX, containing mainy Useful PARTICULARS relative to the foregoing. London: Printed by T. Gardner, at Cowley’s Head in the Strand. (1747)

SPELLING IS AS FOUND IN THE ORIGINAL, though I took the liberty of making the plurals singular. The list is copied from that in the index, so there are some repeats/variations of listings.
