It was a nice May afternoon here in 1850. I typically get to the American Can company at dawn and leave at dusk. I'm a canner in the oyster department. I work 12 hour days for very little money. I oversee the machines that can the raw oysters. Not too much hard labor but I dont get any breaks. The economy is always bad, I live in Baltimore. Yes, people won't buy as many oysters if the economy is bad. People will still buy oysters but I think there will be better ways to store them. Maybe people will even be able to eat fresh raw oysters. Yes Maryland is the best because its a good center of the east coast and Baltimore has a good harbor for imports and exports.
Any time period. Product used often for racing, including the Triple Crown races (MD - Preakness) Needs anywhere with large amounts of grassy plains for the best results. Also requires the services of trainers, owners, riders, vets, and more.
My name is Cletus, I live on the northern edge of the Chesapeake Bay. I enjoy ice fishing and can shooting. I live in the late 1990's . I am in the crab import/export business. It requires a great deal of manual labor because crabs are a tricky little fellar. The economy at this point in time is not good because they say we are headed for a recession. Persoally, I blame President Bush for all that...but that's neither here nor there. Since the economy is bad right now, so is the crab import/export business. With less money, I cannot pay my employees to go out and catch crabs. For the past couple of weeks, my family has been eating nothing but Spam. I believe that the industry of crab catching and selling will always be around as long as there are crabs to be caught and ate. As of right now, the Chesapeake Bay is one of the best places to for my crab import/export business. Maybe in the future when all the crabs are almost gone, I might consider relocating more north, to maybe Maine.
Jamie Whalen - I am an electrician. I live in 2010. I go to people's houses and I install and fix their lighting fixtures. I have hard manual labor; I have to climb on ladders to reach ceilings and take down ceilings to install wiring. If the economy was bad, people would not need elaborate lighting in their homes. They would buy a simple lamp and plug it into an outlet.
I am a farmer in Maryland during the year 2010. Approximately 350,000 people are employed in some aspect of farming, making it the largest commercial industry in Maryland. Farming also remains the largest single land use in the State, with 2.05 million acres, or roughly 32 percent of total land area used for farming in 2008. The majority of Maryland's farmland is located in the north central part of the State and the upper Eastern Shore. In 2008, some 12,850 Maryland farms averaged 160 acres each. In 2008, total farm expenses reached $1.5 billion, while per farm expenses averaged $120,361. Net farm income was nearly $500 million while income per farm averaged $38,910. I think this service will be around forever because people will always need crops that I grow on my farm, and the meat from the animals that we raise. If the economy was bad, I believe that my sales would go down some, but there would still be some because people need the things that I produce on my farm. Maryland is not the best place to sell these goos, because we do not have the best farming land, but I am still able to grow the things I need to sell and people need to buy.
Dear Diary, I am a police officer from the 21st century. Currently it is the year 2010. There is a high crime rate in Baltimore City and the need for good law enforcement officers is vital. Although there is not much manual labor, as a police officer it is in my best interest to stay fit. If the economy takes a turn for the worse the crime rate increases because citizens are more likely to steal. A police officer will always be a necessity for Maryland as well as every other state, because we are the people who enforce the law, and make sure to keep peace and safety in our neighborhoods.
Dear Journal, Times have been really hard. There is a lot of pressure on me to make the economy better. Today, I woke up and got ready for the long day ahead of me. I had an early meeting in downtown Annapolis, which is great because that is where I live. As the Governor of Maryland I have a lot of responsibilities. They include making legislative proposals, create jobs, and drive the economic progress. Love, Governor Stephanie Powell
A day in the life of a fisherman- 2000 It's pretty hard work being a fisherman. While technology makes it easier to get a lot more fish, crabs, oysters, etc., the fact that we get so many worries me. What happens if a certain species becomes endangered or extinct? What would happen to business if we weren't able to find enough blue crabs to satisfy Maryland? While I wouldn't say Maryland is the BEST place to fish, I definitely think it is pretty great. I want to keep fishing here because the bay is great for it, but I worry that with ongoing pollution, I'll definitely have my work cut out for me. I already have enough long days as it is, and it's hard when certain products aren't in season. I don't need anything more to worry about!
I am a farmer, and I am growing my eighteenth summer of corn. My family has been farming for as long as I can remember, even my ancestors from my geneology. Now in 2010 I have a lot of tools to make my days more productvie and shorter. I still wake up early, but I can end earlier. It is hard work, but I have tools and farm help to help the summer go by faster and help me make more money. With the bad economy last summer it was hard for me to pay for my gas and pay for labor on my farm. Then, I mafde my corn more expensive and people didn't want to buy it. I'm hoping people will always want corn! But, I'm also hoping the economy gets better. I know Maryland is the best place becasue the eastern shore provides the proper environment for the corn to grow. I love my corn.
I have produced Johns Hopkins Medical Center. I live in the year 1889. My day is extremely hechtic as I am busy dealing with numerous doctors and scientists. My medical center is worth $5 billion. I wouldn't say I have hard manual labor; but, I would say I have hard mental labor. If the economy was bad, this would not effect my goods. Unfortunately, no one can determine the outcome of their health. Therefore, medicine will always be in style. I think Maryland has been a pretty good place to keep Johns Hopkins University.
Today I worked several hours at the Savage Mill, a cotton mill down the road from my house. We make cotton for ships' sails and other textiles. Our economy is doing well, and I imagine cotton sales are great in Maryland right now, seeing as we are right on the coast by plenty of ships. Cotton will probably be valuable for years and years, so I know my job is secure.
My days are long and grueling, especially for a child. I spend them spinning cotton, doing rough manual labor for hours on end. Things are scary at the Mill (one of our supervisors fell to her death in the stairwell two weeks ago), but I am glad to be making money for my family.
the time period I live in is 1620's. I work in the fields planting tobacco. The labor is very hard. I work all day long in the hot sun. The economy would not effect my business much. Tobacco is always going to sell no matter what. My goods will definitely be around in the future. I feel like this is a big seller and people are drawn to our product. I feel like our business will just get bigger. I feel like my tobacco product is also big in the other southern states. I feel like my tobacco plants would also do really well in Virginia.
I am a lawyer in 2010 and my day is very busy, but I have been practicing for a long time so I’m rich, which is nice. I do absolutely no manual labor. I mean none. I haven’t cut my own grass since I was sixteen. There are other people for that…people that provide that service. My job has changed somewhat with the economy, but the people that can afford me still pay for my services. Those that need me the most can’t afford me though. It is a shame. My services will always be needed though. Every state needs lawyers, but Maryland is a nice place to live too.
Today, in the 4th month on the 20th day of 1765 I went out to my field. Last year had been a good year for Tobacco in this fine land. Following my good friend Lord Calvert to Mary's Land had been a great choice for my fine tobacco field.
The last few days I've had a persistent cough that has hurt my lungs. My attempts to smoke it out of my lungs with more of this fine tobacco has not provided much of an outcome.
Last year I brought in 2,300 pounds. The winter this year has not been as full of moisture as the last. I hope that I am able to smoke out my breathing problem and be prepared for another glorious year.
Dear Diary, I live in the current time period. There is a lot of stress on me to teach our students because of the standardized testing that has become such a huge part of our students' education. Luckily, I do not have to do any manual labor. Since the economy is not in the best of shape, it is really difficult for other teachers to get jobs. Also, I am working longer than I anticipated because of the economy. I do think that my service will be around in the future because it is important for all students to recieve an education. Maryland is a good place to sell my service because teachers are well paid compared to some of the other states.
June 4, 1875 Today was my first day out on the bay with my father. My father has been harvesting oysters on the bay since before I was born. He wants me to know how to harvest the oysters so I can talk over our families’ oyster business. I know that oysters are so popular. We cannot seem to harvest enough to meet demand. Our bay seems to be a get place for the oysters to grow, making business great. To harvest the oysters, we have to use a large rake to reach the oyster beds. Tomorrow I hope to learn even more about how to harvest oysters.
Jennifer Barton Jousting is a service that allows other people to be entertained. Jousting is Maryland's sport and has been since 1962. Jousting tournaments have been held in Maryland since colinal times. Jousting became popular after the Civil War. Jousting tournaments involve charging another horse and using a lance to win the match. Jousting requires great skills. I think that jousting will still be around for a while as a form of entertainment; however, it was more popular in the past. Today, there sre many places you can go and see a jousting tournament, such as Medieval Times.
