@KevinBarrick Sanderson’s written a bunch of books in the Mistborn “Universe”, and it’s not unheard of.
I think it’s okay as long as you don’t go so far out of the bounds that it no longer makes sense in the general scheme.
@writingiswar I worked on a farm.
Being a farmhand at 15~ish just means you clean poop all day.
I’ve had more annoying jobs, but not, well, shittier ones.
