Dream jobs for the QC cast?
Mustakyy:
Hmm, I think that almost none of the cast have anything resembling a dreamjob, so nominating a definite candidate is kinda difficult. But lets try anyway. I'll start from my own poll choices.
* Marten: While he is happy at SMIF library now, I just can't see him working indefinitely as a library assistant. Somekind of career concerning music just sounds too fitting for him. We've seen pretty damn good suggestions (music critic, music teacher), thou i would not count out our protagonist becoming a rock phenomenon (when you think of it, especially how his life has been going lately, I think he could write some kickass Radiohead-like music, maybe even becoming QC's very own Thom Yorke? :-D ). And remembering the everchanging music world, we might see him in very distant future as a has-been rockstar/shady street musican.
* Penelope/Will: The creative couple. While they both are employed at the moment, I think either of them are anywhere near their dreamjob. I think becoming bestselling author would be a dream come true for both of em.
As for the rest of the cast, very few of em have a job that could be described as dreamjob. Maybe, in the future, we'll see Angus as next Conan O'Brien or maybe even as a senator or such. He's got the talent for it, we'll just have to wait and see if he's going to pursue the career in politics or stand-up comedy. Hmm, who else? Marigold? If the webmaster gig turns bad, I could easily see her in the ranks of cubicle workers (think of Dilbert and/or Office Space). And i gotta ask, am I the only one who thought of Steve as QC's Jason Bourne (just replacing the amnesia with huge bender :laugh: )
The characters who are actually doing what they like are Sven and Dora. Dora is running her own business and despite the fact that sometimes things dont go as planned, she's still calling the shots what goes. Sven on the other hand is making music(which he doesen't actually like) and money(which he does like :-P ), and seems to be enjoying life.
Kugai:
Everybody winds up working for Bill Gates.
Is it cold in here?:
Dale needs something that pays well enough for him to work only one job. We don't know enough about him to guess what that would be, though.
EDIT: it took a while, but I finally found the old thread about what the Pugnacious Peach might do after Coffee of Doom: http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,24020.0.html
Skewbrow:
The results of the first poll.
QC character most likely to quit his/her current job?
Marten - 13 (15.7%)
Faye - 6 (7.2%)
Hannelore - 12 (14.5%)
Penelope - 12 (14.5%)
Cosette - 6 (7.2%)
Wil - 8 (9.6%)
Angus - 10 (12%)
Somebody else - 9 (10.8%)
Nobody - they are all content! - 0 (0%)
Nobody - the money ain't great, but it is enough to get waffles! - 7 (8.4%)
Total Voters: 40
The next poll is on Hannelore's alternatives. I will add your suggestions as poll options ASAP. Do remember that my timezone is GMT+2, IIRC 7 hours ahead of US East coast.
pwhodges:
(I've changed the poll's time to run to 7 days, so presumably you can now adjust it again if you wish.)
As for Marten, my wife, who recently became deputy director of a university library without having any direct experience, commented earlier today that the shelvers are the lowest of the low, quite the bottom of the pecking order. We've certainly seen Marten shelving; but he also does counter duty, presumably because the Smif library is quite small.
