# data[].attributes.body
Childhood in the Victorian Age was very different. The conditions where much harder and worse.

Children would work 12-18 hours a day. Children as young as 3 years old would have a very dangerous work environment.

Jobs:
Coal miner
Chimney sweep
Rat catcher
Laundry for pay
Matchmaking
Prostitution

Why children?
Cheaper, can fit in a chimney.
Girls where the cheapest.

The rich did not have jobs, they just had a boring childhood.
