I hope this cures your curiosity bro

Question

What was the highest paying job during the victorian era?

Answer:

The highest paying jobs were:

  • doctors
  • lawyers
  • bankers
  • factory owners.

But that most paying job in the 1800's was landowners

Back then owning land was important to them. While this was important there were also many rich families who owned mines or factories.

Step-by-step explanation:

I just look this up

So, in the Victorian Era the mothers of rich wealthy families did NOT work, but the Rich Men of the Victorian Era DID work.

Rich people back then were able to afford a nice house, cleaning, and well heating. Most families couldn't afford this back then except rich.
