It is around 1845 and you are a part of a family in England living on a rural farm. Your family has subsisted off of the farm and you have made money to buy other necessities by working as part of a cottage industry in textiles. You were just told that your services would no longer be needed in the cottage industry because a new plant has been set up in the nearby city. You have been offered the opportunity to work in the new factory, but it would mean having to move to the city because factory work would involve long hours. You know that your spouse and six children cannot survive on subsisting alone, but could make due with increased factory pay.
