Yeah for sure, they had my job then, some advancements have been made is all.
My official work title is "Site Reliability Engineer", which means I'm somewhere between a clerk, a tinkerer, and a millwright.
But I'm not recording any transactions by hand and the mills I work on don't have anything to do with grain. Instead, they're simple but very fast arithmetical machines that the moneychangers had built to account for every penny that moves from one bank to another.
Sometimes the machines don't work as they are expected to, and it's my job to catch this misbehavior and identify the cause so that one of the arithmetical millwrights can figure out how to fix it. I also help them them do the fixing and testing to make sure the equiment runs true before we set it back to work.
Not hard. I accept money and give it out on behalf of my Lords and Ladies, I mean, employers.
Yes. We do it using computers now, so a lot of what I do is more database management but the basic method we use for accounting has been around since before the year of our lord 1300. All the stuff we do is just to make it possible to do at scale.
Pretty easily, yeah. Customer tells me in advance what goods they want, and pay a little extra for me to buy the goods for them and meet at a dropoff point so they have more time to do... whatever people did in 1700... play video games?

I spend most of the day in a room looking at humorous public announcements from people all over the world until someone breaks the communication system for the organization and exile criminals and bad actors
I work in a trade school and apprenticeship has been around for ages so I think it would translate. I would just say that I help teach apprentices along with their masters, specifically about boats and ships.
Im a process auditor, so they would probably understand but would think my job is not necessary ( can't blame)
