Very well done, zimmah and Talas! Thanks for the definitions, zimmah!

Thanks for filling in the blanks.

A few guesses related to the definitions: Builder- Probably also an architect. Chandler- Probably does all sorts of wax and/or tallow products. Clerk- Probably an official scribe, working either for a noble or a wealthy merchant. Diplomat- Could represent any interest to anyone else (political, religious, social, professional, mercantile). Dungeoneer- They build dungeons, as per Snipehunter. Fence- Like courtesan, I think there were legit fence operations back in the day. Middlemen. Fool- Had a lot of different roles in different periods, some important. Navigator- This seems to be specifically nautical navigation. Page- Pages were often young fighters in training to become knights. Parchmenter- In this context, it looks like these are makers of paper (parchment is animal skin). Physician- As we have no chirurgeon, this is probably surgeon also. Quartermaster- Also could be a non-military seneschal type. Scout- Also could be a non-military explorer. Vagabond- Seasonal employees (planting and harvesting, mainly) who do odd jobs or beg during other periods, as per Snipehunter.

Thanks for those definitions Zimmah!

Interestingly, I don't see "Architect" or "Shipwright" here.

I suppose the closest things to these would be the "Builder" or "Engineer" job roles?

Considering how much emphasis was put on the blueprint-architect-tool thing for creating houses in one of those old developer journals, I'm surprised not to at least see "Architect" appear on the list?

Dungeoneer definitely cant involve natural dungions ive found several in the center of dutchys with no caves

True, however, remember that "dungeon" is also a word to encompass buildings of adventure, rather than merely caves.

In this case, a dungeon may be a derelict, ancient temple that hasn't been visited in years and may host any manner of creature and/or treasure.

Even in inhabited settlements, the fact that a dungeoneer is there may just mean that that's his permanent residence and he otherwise goes out and about to explore points of interest or guide others through POI as his job.

No problem! I, too, enjoy the powers of google!!

Not too long ago Snipehunter in discord elaborated on the Dungeoneers profession, stating it's more of an underground architect than an adventurer or explorer.

Given what we know about sex and reproduction in-game (specifically not shown, or even implied iirc and done through contracts exclusively, respectively) I kinda wonder how courtesans will be shown or played and how they fit into the game. Unless it just means a female courtier...

It may not technically be an exhaustive list. There could be jobs that don't appear on the top jobs, nor the notable jobs. This is just all the jobs confirmed to be in.
