The 1920s was a decade unlike any other. It began with prohibition and ended with the worst stock market crash in American history, one so cataclysmic that it reverberated around the world. Between 1920 and 1929, America rode an ever-ascending stock market, America drank alcohol of questionable origin, and America spawned its most famous organized crime syndicates.
The 1920s gave birth to stories like "The Great Gatsby," to a golden age for American jazz, and it planted the seeds of the destruction of the economy. When the stock markets crashed in 1929, it resulted in the first hard look at financial regulations around stock trading, giving us many of our modern day finance laws.
Perhaps most strikingly, the 1920s was the last decade before America developed a social safety net. If one lost one's job, there was no unemployment insurance, no welfare, no public housing waiting to take one in. The nation believed it had pulled itself up by its bootstraps, not realizing that it had long since run off the cliff, and was about to fall.
We will take you back in time, back to the 1920s, where you will be forced to consider what job you'd be best for. Answer honestly, and you will learn what your 1920s job should be.
