| What Was George Washington's Job |
From Land Dude to Leader of the Dudes
Washington wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. No, sir, this guy started out as a land surveyor. Basically, he spent his early days traipsing around Virginia with a compass and a keen eye, mapping out all the cool (and not-so-cool) patches of land. Think of him as the original explorer on Google Maps, except with a tricorn hat and less air-conditioned comfort.
General Washington: Leading the Continental Charge
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
But surveying wasn't enough for George's ambitious spirit. When the American Revolution rolled around, he answered the call of duty and became the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army. That's right, folks, Washington was the big cheese, the head honcho, the general who led the ragtag team of colonists to victory against the mighty British Empire.
From Battlefield to Ballroom: The Politics Game
After the war, Washington couldn't just sit around and reminisce about the good ol' days. Nope, he dove headfirst into the world of politics. He even chaired that whole Constitutional Convention thing, you know, the one that basically wrote the rulebook for the United States of America.
Tip: Write down what you learned.
The Big Gig: Becoming the OG President
And then, wouldn't you know it, the people came knocking on Washington's door with the ultimate job offer: President of the United States. Talk about pressure! Washington became the very first president, setting the tone and traditions for all the leaders who would follow.
