There are different kinds of jobs out there. Are you familiar with many of them?
These days, the world is versatile enough to have a specific person address a specific need. This is true in all kinds of industries that exist out there. Be it in the so-called white collar or blue collar domain -- or anything else in between those categories -- you will find a specific person with a specific job title that contributes largely to the progress of that industry.
Before, the world was simple enough to have clear-cut laborers who did specific kinds of tasks, to the point of specializing in them. The early etymology of certain name origins can also attest to these specializations during ancient times, since people's last names were their actual job professions before. So it's not hard to guess what a person does for a living.
Today, of course, it's more complicated than that. In one industry alone, there could be tens or hundreds of job descriptions and specializations, with one person handling a specific area while another hones in on a specific problem. And as the ages of humankind evolve further, more and more job descriptions seem to be popping up left and right.
But let's play with the common ones to test our common knowledge of such matters. If we give you three kinds of problems, do you think you'll be able to tell who the best person for that job would be? Test your knowledge with this quiz, now! Good luck -- and get to work!
