Dream jobs for the QC cast?
Antario:
* Marten Dream job would be a music critic, musician maybe
He definetly wont quit untill he has another steady gig to go to that either pays tons more or has something to do with music, since he's not unhappy at the library
* Faye not a clue what her dream job would be really...she seems to just want to live her life atm, no real ambitions
Of all people i think she's the most likely to quit, she's been with dora for a long time if angus is going to be her anchor to sanity and maybe get her over her issues and that sculpture works out maybe she can move on
* Hannelore
She has other issues to deal with, she gets enough money from the odd project her mom drops on her to sustain her and have spare income to boot
* Penelope made her dream job plenty clear already
might make a change in the future, but not for any time soon
* Cosette
still in college, just got the job save getting fired she's not going anywhere
* Wil just like his partner also has a well documented dream job
Wont quit unless he gets noticed for some reason, but since he's a very minor character these days no time soon either (he's more like just a prop for penelope these days)
* Angus
maybe he will move up the political strawman ladder? his career is a bit to vague to really call
Is it cold in here?:
Hannelore's focus and attention to detail, along with her drive to create structure, would be assets for a career as a software developer. She might also make a good research librarian.
The Pugnacious Peach complained to her therapist about being "stuck", and she's gradually waking up and taking charge of her life. Somewhere in the archives there's a thread about what Faye might do next.
Wil probably has the worst job but he doesn't have a lot of options. He can be expected to stay where he is.
This is a great thread.
Sharp:
* Marten: I see him moving onto something that is of course music related. Music Teacher? Maybe SMIF has some other department openings for assistants? Like it has been said before, I don't see him moving on until he is 100% sure that he has a job. (as most people should!)
* Angus: Ah, now we're having fun. Ho'kay, Angus changing careers is interesting to me because it's the largest reason I can think of for Faye and Angus not working out. (Or maybe I read too much Octopus Pie :oops: )Angus's line of work is the closest to the Entertainment industry that we've seen. Were he to ever get noticed, he would most likely need to move to either New York or California to pursue any career. While TV Host may be a bit out of his range, I could see him as a comedy writer for late-night TV or a contributer (like the reporters on The Daily Show.)
That's all I have for now, but maybe more will come to mind. I agree though, five star thread idea!
Carl-E:
OK, maybe this isn't dream-job territory, but...
Tai is going to graduate, and move on, and someone needs to take over the supervisory position at the library. As the only non-student, Marten's primed for the position. After all, students are only around for a few years. Management needs to be more consistant.
Besides, he knows what the trustees were up to in the copy room...
Skewbrow:
Marten seems to have taken an early lead in the poll. I am little bit surprised to see Faye in the last place. More or less for the reasons listed by Antario. Then again, several other characters have shown a real desire to pursue alternative careers more recently.
The next poll will be on Hannelore's options - some realistic, some less so. Feel free to make suggestions for options.
For several characters we already know what their dream job would be. When their turn comes, the semi-serious poll options will be on bits of advice, and, if need be, suggestions for more realistic alternatives. If the thread survives (thanks for the encouraging words!), I plan to insert a poll with the theme "Occupational hazards - the most memorable mishaps at work" at some point.
@Sharp, Antario: A good point about Angus' job prospects being very vague. It will be tough to get a decent poll on his options. Saving that for later.

LOL! An interesting suggestion for Marten. Wouldn't necessarily surprise me, if SMIF would have the library jobs earmarked as a way of supporting a number of promising students at selected departments. The need for continuity may trump that though? But surely Marten is too nice a guy to ... bring up certain facts in front of a board of trustees? Not that he would necessarily have to actively do anything about it!
