Jobs

In the Aztec empire there were multiple jobs that people could have. These jobs were chosen based on your gender, economic class, talent and lineage. 

There were jobs for all ages. Some kids would inherit a job from family members or were recognized of there talent and then were put into a job. Boys had the options to become a warrior or learn how to trade. Young men were usually priests, warriors, craftsmen, and sometimes farming or fighting.

If you were in the lower class you did not have much responsiblitlity. You were either a farmer, hunter, weapon makers, or construction workers. If you were in the middle class - which is the largest group -  you had lots and lots of options to choose from. Such as, potters, weavers, goldsmiths, crafters, merchants, law makers, sculptors, and more.
