    1. The Soldier (The worker follows you and will fight against monsters).
    2. The Farmer (The worker will "saw wheat", "harvest wheat" and put the harvested wheat in the barrel you defined in the "store food" zones).
    3. The Guard (The worker will patrol in the "patrol" zones).
    4. The Woodcutter (The worker will cut trees).
    5. The Tree planter (The worker will plant new trees).
    6. The Mover (does nothing yet).

    You can also see his job with the icons on top of their head. The order of priority for the jobs are Soldier > Farmer > Tree planter > Woodcutter > Guard.
