When I began to homeschool my eldest, I decided that I should focus on history that would intrigue him and would prepare him for his future. What is one of the most challenging decisions facing a young man? What to do when he grows up. I knew that a study of the jobs of grown men would intrigue him. So I complied this outline for a history course. It lists the jobs of men throughout the ages. The idea was to study what these men did, what kind of character they had, and whether their lives brought honor to God or not. Some of the items are things, not people and would need to be researched. This is by no means an exhaustive list. And I have to admit that we never got far on the list! But the idea is good and we are still using the idea: what did this man do and was it glorifying to God. I hope you find it informative, maybe even useful.
