Professions : A Matching Exercise for ESL Students

Professions : A Matching Exercise for ESL Students

I made two puzzles about professions today. Now I am posting the first one which is a matching exercise. The second one is a quiz with 15 questions that I will post in about two weeks. In my opinion, this matching exercise is the easier one. Your task is to match the professions with the descriptions. If you are stuck, just scroll down to the vocabulary section.
