Just for fun, chose an historical personage or historical fictional character and give them a career in modern times.
For example: Hitler: a painter and decorator with grandiose ideas (" Today the living room tomorrow the entire house!")
: Richard Sharpe: couturier specialising in the Grunge Look ( wearing a battered tricorne and the moth-eaten, campaign stained jacket)
: Patton: Mental health counsellor
