Occupations

Occupations
   Certain occupations are associated with Gypsies such as fortune-telling, music, metalwork, and horse trading, but Gypsies are to be found in many other fields as well. There are surgeons, lawyers, and other professionals especially in eastern Europe, where most Gypsies are sedentary and educational opportunities better. It is not always easy to identify professionals who are Gypsies (Romanies), as they may hide their origin because of real or imagined prejudice.
