Then, pass the acquired skills to my children who will also transmit them to their children, and so on and so forth. Traditional jobs mostly practiced in rural areas are generally farming. However, some are traders, blacksmith, fishermen (Western and Eastern regions), builders, carpenters, traditional beer makers, and craftsmen. But because of the education which has been introduced in the country about a couple of centuries ago, people go to school and get skill-based orientation which will lead individuals to different professions or jobs.
