Its already 11 am and no Daily Entertainment. We can't have that. Everyone seems to be looking for jobs or new jobs lately and that got me wondering about employment. I'm going to provide a few ways to approach this question as pups are never simple.
What kind of employee or employer are your pups?
Do they consider what they do currently as a just a job or a career?
If neither of these questions fit your pups, tell me some of your ideas about them in relation to working.
Also yes, I like my new XMFC icon and am using it everywhere but its sort of appropriate for this question as Charles knows his career direction.

Not sure what to say beyond that. The Guardian Collective has a sort of military structure, there's definitely some kind of chain of command (with version numbers instead of named ranks), but Guardians on solo assignments have a great deal of free rein in regards to how they pursue their functions.

Which creates an interesting contrast to the human world where we have to figure out what we do.
Sometimes its terribly easy but most of the time it takes a lot of trial and error to find what works.

On the season 1 trading cards, when he was not yet a cadet, Enzo's profile listed his format as "data sprite under development" and his function as "to make it to his next upgrade."

employeesminions is... well, a burst into flames type thing.Besides doing what she thinks what she is supposed to be doing (destroying civilization or the world at large, making sure things die and stay dead) she has side/cover jobs, such as a weapons/curio shop owner and a combat instructor. These are temporary.

Ult. Ben had the chance of a great career as a professional football player. He had been picked in a draft and everything. Then the accident happened and now he's trying to figure out what to do with his life. He sees being a super hero as a job until he gets cured.
Jessica Drew is a bit complicated. I think the super hero thing is a job for her but her P.I. biz is her career. She enjoys both but with the P.I. biz she can see the lives she's affecting and changing and she gets a sense of closure with each case. With the super hero biz there never seems to be closure...even when there is.
Val von Doom is still trying to decide what to do with her life. It's not like the girl can have a regular paying job. I think she's heading into just exploring the multiverse though and studying it's nature so that could be her career I suppose.
Thalia is a hero. That is her life and I guess you could call it her career. She can't see herself doing anything else.
Julie Finster is really too young to be answering this but she knows she will be a super hero and that will be her career. She will hold down a paying job to support it but she's a super hero first and foremost.
Aretmus Gordon loves his job. He gets to save the fragile post-Civil War U.S. and play with and make cool toys.
Rincewind has jobs thrust upon him and he will do whatever he can to avoid them or get them over with a soon as possible if he can't run away from them.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around why he was involved with the Unseen Acedemicals team. Ridcully must have threatened him or something. = ]
no subject
Well, since that's usually the case...
no subject
True enough. Heh.
Or it could have been something like in The Last Hero wherein he just accepted his fate and volunteered.

I will note that evidence suggests that once he's found himself a truly boring job, he is quite reluctant to leave it.

Will defines himself by what he does and his place in life as that's how his time works. He's Robin Hood's squire and an outlaw and a peasant, those three things define his life.
Sameth is another one where his role was proscribed early on, for him its due to his bloodline. So its hard for him to imagine being anything other than Abhornsen-in-Waiting even though it doesn't suit him. Canon will deal with this but not with the fallout of the changes. That's something I need to fix. In Milliways, he works in the forge, filling commissions and making his own projects which he loves. He does have a workshop in Belisaere but he mainly only makes his own things or things for his sister there. He loves the environment of the forge and working with Teja as he learned to make things in the forge of Belisaere.
Moist puts on occupations like he does suits, it changes depending on who he's being today and if being a conman is a career, its one that suits him terribly well. Though its the kind of thing he fell into and then discovered he liked it due to the freedom and the rush of adrenaline.
Demeter is a goddess so who she is defines what she does, which makes things simple. Though the warning is that the gods may listen but be careful what you ask for as you may get it.
William runs his family ranch and he can't think of doing anything else, he does sometimes wonder if other things might be possible. He thinks he might like to try being a lawman someday, but that would be while still running the ranch. The family land and his family comes first to everything else.
Jane is an author, she might not be published yet but that's what she considers herself. Sadly that's not terribly acceptable for her time and she would like to be a wife and an author. That will be trickier.
Tumnus is an advisor to the kings and queens of Narnia and its not what he pictured himself doing as a young faun but it suits him. He's also writing a history of Narnia but considers that a hobby.
The Pirate King is defined and shaped by what he is and his ship seems like it must be fairly enjoyable.

Urquhart used to be a Scottish laird, so his attitude to his clan and people was similar, but not quite so matter-of-fact, as he didn't really expect or want that position. After that, he was a loner and independent contractor, so to speak, who'd employ sub-contrators at times. Breach of contract could be deadly -- he does that in a very remarkable scene in his canon.
Sirona works as a database administrator as a cover during the canon I take her from, but it doesn't mean much to her -- she uses the resources and connections as part of her Xanatos gambit, that is all.
Margolotta owns a castle and employs an Igor, a librarian, a smith, and then a number more people she needs to run the whole thing; she is a very fair employer and sees to it that everybody gets a piece of the cake she is working on, as everybody will work better when they have direct benefits above and beyond mere pay. She wants everyone invested in her grand project.
Lorenzo is only a rich kid at the moment of his canon; his father is the one who employs lots of people. Piero has a very creative attitude towards firing people and will sack all the servants just to make a point, at one stage. The Medici are hard employer to work for, but you can earn a lot of money of you please them.
For Ma'at, Tower, Bridgette, Tamara and Donovan, the issue does not apply, for several different reasons.

Cosmo's a decent employer, when he's not being a little bugnuts. XD
Moist loves working for Doc. It's some weird hybrid of job and calling, really; Doc needs someone to make sure he stops to eat and sleep every now and then, and Moist would go to the ends of the earth for the few friends he has.
Conflict Diamond works alone.
Cata and Sam both very much consider what they do to be more of a calling than even a career.
Claudia's in the Warehouse for the long haul; it's hard to get drafted into the job for the short term, and she's one of very few people ever who's had the chance to walk on. She could perhaps be less cavalier about the risks involved, but she's a kid in many ways, and she definitely has a passion for the work.
Apollo is a god. What he does is what he is.

I've seen people answer DE questions with pups in Mixed Muses, pups they might app and ones they have apped. Are you playing comicverse or movieverse or a mixture?

Felix is neither employer nor employed. This is somewhat more viable in a world where monsters are common, and drop money when they die. What he does is not so much a job or a career as a lifestyle, perhaps something like the way a medieval monk might see his path.
Kain... is a tough boss. Part of that is just that he's military, part of it is that he cares deeply about the Dragoons' reputation. That said, if you can meet his standards he's not going to abandon you.
Fluttershy... ... ... I haven't the foggiest. Equestria has commerce and business, that much is clear, but Fluttershy, like Twilight and (to a lesser extent) Pinkie Pie, has no officially designated position. She takes care of the animals in and around Ponyville, which certainly seems to be an essential task, but I haven't gotten the sense that anyone holds her responsible for it. I think it's sort of... she's part of the herd, and each member of the herd helps the herd-as-a-whole, and this is a thing she can do to help the herd. I'm still trying to figure out the social dynamics of Equestria - it looks to me like a number of the things Fluttershy does are motivated by a sort of "the herd needs this", which I don't see as much in her canonmates. But it's not exactly loyalty, or at least not the type of Loyalty that Rainbow Dash personifies.

Dixie has an amused, laconic view of her singing. She's proud of her accomplishments and her ornaments (and the attention), and is aware she's likely not the best singer in the world, but works hard at her caft.
