5. Lamplighter
It was the duty of a lamplighter to light the streets at night, just as it is with today’s electric streetlights.

Lamplighters used a long pole with a wick on one end to light the oil or candles in streetlamps, then returned to snuff them in the morning.

It’s challenging to locate a full-time lamplight, particularly in the United States, but they may hang out in tourist attractions in other countries.

Lamp lighting started to decline with the invention of gas lamps in 1814 in Europe and possibly even faster because of the incandescent light bulb by Thomas Edison in 1879.

The profession was obsolete and all but extinct by the early 1900s.

The boys had a character called lamplighter.

I guess he didn't want to take any chances.

Only a man like Hitler can lead a war....

I salute his courage....

One certain man from enugu would have absconded living behind millions of p!glets just to be roasted by the zoo army

It was rat catching that you did at your Village for free. Only to discover that people made so much money from it in the time past.

Rapmoney:
There was a time when certain professions were in high demand, but as our society evolved and advanced, some of these professions became obsolete.

Moreover, with the aspect of ever-changing technology, many jobs that exist today are vastly different – or nonexistent – from those 10, 20, or 30 years ago.

So, what happened to all those old careers?

This list will discuss some of the strangest but back-then-necessary jobs that have disappeared.

You can mainly attribute the disappearance of many of these ways to make money to technological advances.

For example, modern bowling alleys have elaborate systems that collect balls and pins, so pinsetters are no longer necessary.

Likewise, with the spread of proper refrigeration, the cool job of ice cutters became a thing of the past.

This article will discuss ten strange professions that no longer exist.

Who knows, maybe you’ll learn about a job that your ancestors did before you were born.

1. The Human Alarm Clock
In the days before alarm clocks, people used to hire others to wake them up in the morning.

It may not seem complicated, but it was quite an essential job in the 1800s.

The “Human Alarm Clocks” or “Knocker Uppers” would often use long poles to tap on the windows of their employers or even shoot peas at the glass of their windows.

It may seem like an unnecessary job, but think about it, didn’t people back then need to wake up at certain times too?

After all, you could miss an important meeting or appointment if you oversleep.

Can you imagine having to pay someone to wake you up every morning?

This is why learning is important, very soon many jobs today will also be obsolete. Learn and evolve tech is taking over today. Maybe in a few years time:
1) data science/computerized data recording would completely replace accounting/accountants.

2) Lawyers might be replaced by advance robotic justice system.

3) airline pilots might be replaced by self flying planes.

4) Therapists might be replaced by artificial diagnostics intelligence.

5) etc and so on.

Just never stop learning/ evolving the world is moving really fast.

Ice cutters still exist in Nigeria

Thank you for shedding light on these intriguing and now obsolete professions. It's fascinating how technology has transformed the way we live and work, rendering some roles from the past obsolete. The 'Human Alarm Clock' role is a great example of how Insta Zara daily routines have evolved with time and innovation. It's a reminder of how far we've come!
