Working for his father's company as unskilled electrician installing light bulbs. Can be all found in the web :)
Still, that would have earned you some money. But only if you did not misread the one I found and mixed up the dates.

Last year I heard this question in the radio on my way to work. The right answer would have earned you 10000€. Let's see who might have won that money here: Albert Einstein was 17 years old in 1908 (my fault, should be 1896) and worked at the Oktoberfest. What did he do there?
Food taster? Judge on beer of the year? Patent violation inspector? Marc

Relative close, but wrong.
Pole dancing for pleasure? :laugh:
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

No, no, and no. Sorry. If you look further up, we have not only gotten the year right, but also already found out what he did.

See I was right.. pole dancing! I'm guessing the bulbs were at the top of the dancing poles - you'd have to be careful how you mounted them though, they'd be really hot back in the days before energy saving ones - could be a very nasty accident! :laugh:

Not really. The poles are too thick. But table dancing might apply.
