text: what was the life of a teen aged nobel boy like in 1745? we are trying to define what a teen aged boy would be doing in his day to day life during the georgian time period. being nobel the oldest boy would be taught to take up the title. but what about the other boys? g'day jadziakl,  thank you for your question.  it depends on the family. however, they would receive an education either through a tutor or at a school like eton.  they could train to join the army as officer positions were purchased. depending on their rank, positions would be purchased in the cavalry (the more prestigious) or the infantry. this practice continued until reforms in 1856 due to problems exposed by the crimean war.  they could train for a career in government either in parliament or in the civil service. being related to a rich aristocratic person was a definite advantage. there were 56 parliamentary positions abolished in 1832 which were known as "rotten boroughs" often with a handful of electors and controlled by weathy men. the aristocracy had a dominant position in parliament until the late 19th century.  they could also be sent overseas to britains rapidly expanding empire either as governors or colonial officials.  they could train to be clergymen and become bishops in the church of england. alternatively, they could train to become professionals most notably lawyers.  generally, aristocratic families looked down on people who made a living from industry or trade even if they were wealthy.  i have attached some sources for your reference.  regards
