A time period I really appreciate, dangerous and hard as it was, I wonder what I would have been if I lived out West back then.
Realistically considering who you are, your strengths and weaknesses, and maybe your occupation and where you’re from, what do you think you might have been if you had lived in the days of the wild West? A cowboy? A lawman, settler, gold miner, gunfighter, outlaw? Owned a big ranch, worked on the railroad, lived in a small town? A mountain man? Something else? |

Cavalry for a career, become disgruntled, retire, and become a borderline outlaw.
Very similar to today |

I'd drive a herd of cattle to Montana, from Texas, before lawyers and bankers got it, and that's where we'd settle.

.
dead of complications of tuberculosis and tooth decay by age 25 . |

Probably something to do with transporting goods. Just like I do now.
|

Recreational pharmaceutical salesman.
Consumption got you down? Do some coca about it |

Dad's parents were farmers, Mom's parents were ranchers...I'd probably be a drunk...or Sheriff.

Don't caulk and float the wagon it never works!
Probably a soldier. |

Since I’m a chinaman, they’d probably force me to work on the railroad or do everyone’s laundry.
Never mind that I’m a chemical engineer and a damned good marksman. |

I’d be one of those dudes that drives the choo choo trains… with the lantern and the hat and all that shit
|
|
Realisticly... dead from some disease, accident, robbery or other violence.
Most likely a shop keep or the telegraph dude. |
|
I would 100% be a settler. I've always wanted to live in the middle of nowhere and do my own thing, only venturing into urbanized areas when I need to/feel like it. I'll eventually get there hopefully, because I fucking hate city life, and cities in America are only going to resemble the third world more and more in the coming years.

|
I'd have run a "Billiard Parlor" with some lovely ladies to entertain...

Saloon, run some whores, and card games, swindle noobs on played out gold claims.

Likely involved with oil prospecting, mining, or the rail road, that's about all I can think that made use of engineers in the wild west.
|

I would open an Italian restaurant and serve 5 different varieties of braciole.
