There’s no job from those times you couldn’t do today while literally living better than they did. Quit your job, give away everything you own and go live in a tent in the woods harvesting mushrooms: Your life would still be better than theirs because you would still have access to some emergency healthcare, foodbanks when you are starving, and be protected from marauding pillagers.
Plus, probably still required to do military service, only you get no armor and face knights in full plate who have trained their whole lives to kill you.
And the fist one we’d still be the peasants not knights.

You can go do that now, no one’s stopping you.
