Would a "Job Broker" count as a potential job?

That would defeat the purpose of potential jobs; a job that gives other people jobs.

He's like the guy who gives you your mission, the middle-person between the person who wants something, and the person who needs to do something.

Is that not the purpose of this thread?

IGNORE HER. I say "Job Broker: The Broker of All Sorts of Jobs!"

That is a mercenary middle-person.

JOB BROKER!
 
DEMON HUNTER & BOUNTY HUNTER

And Tracker, Smasher, Basher, and Stasher.

lol.

Dragonsmith [those who make stuff with dragon scale, bone, flesh, claw, etc.]
Xenobiologist, for them intellectually enlightened scientists that study unnatural and magical plants, foreign to the natural world.
 
Dragon tamer (tames dragons)

Dragon hunter (hunts dragons, and may or may not sell the body parts)

Dragon keeper (feed the dragons, clean the dragon cages, they DO NOT tame the dragons, the dragon tamers do.)
 
Crier! (A person who would literally cry out important events and announcements throughout the towns - he was the first newscaster!)
 
Chaplain

Druid

Fashion Police (In Medieval times, nobles didn't like wealthy merchants wearing the same clothes they did so they made laws about what they can wear.)

Magewright

Slave
