1. BUSINESS AND TRADITION  The German Comenius team did an interview with people of the generations of our grandparents and parents to get to know the different jobs people did from the past till today. We also wanted to know if there is a kind of tradition concerning jobs within the families.  To show our results, we made a chart:

5.  In the past women rarely learnt technical jobs, whereas most of the men did. Many women were housewives, because in the past it was common that the men worked and the women cared for the children and the house. The husbands had to allow their wives to work.  In our interview, there were a few family traditions concerning the jobs, so these traditions do exist.
