Dream jobs for the QC cast?

<< < (9/17) > >>

Skewbrow:
This is certainly true. But does that equation still hold, if you count dollars tipped per hour? That is what a barista/bartender is interested in. Most likely a bartender will collect a lot more tips on a busy night, with the bar packed to capacity, but when taking the average over the whole week the difference is not so clear.

The forumites have spoken. We want to help Marten become a performing artist. Using Sven's help and connections probably sounds more realistic than working with Deathmole, but the two are not mutually exclusive. Personally I am a little bit uncertain, whether it is kosher to start a band with your ex's brother, but I just don't see Deathmole soaring on its own.

The next best altenatives (music critic or teaching) didn't get quite as enthusiastic support. Of the teaching alternatives a position at an appropriate college department has the benefit of a more secure income than teaching privately. OTOH it may be quite difficult for Marten to land a teaching position at SMIF whereas private guitar lessons he can do in his free time.

Skewbrow:
A poll on Pen-Pen's future is up. There is room for more options, so I will add your suggestions upon request. Please allow for a delay of a few hours. There will be enough time to wait and vote later.

Skewbrow:
Marigold will be next (about 15 hours from now). She was not included in the first poll, but I like her as a character, and cannot possibly pass up this opportunity. :evil:

The IT-sector is the most logical field for her, but there are several opportunities! Can she turn her passion for manga/anime into a career alternative? Can she combine the two? Something else? Waffles will be replaced with ... (make a guess  :-))

Carl-E:
Sea cucumbers?
