It's Whatcha Do

Overview

But I'm only four!

Every character has a job. Employment status, age, and ability have absolutely nothing to do with it. Obviously, an explanation is in order.

Like it says above, your character's Job is what he or she does. Whether they be cop or crook, child or crone, every character does something. Think of a Job as a basic Skill set necessary to pursue one's chosen, or at least current, lifestyle: the tools one uses to get by throughout the day. For a child character, that individual's Job is likely to be Child and would likely include such Skills as Play, Athletics, Gaming, Hide, and Sneak. For the destitute, the Job could be Beggar, featuring Skills like Hide, Sneak, Search, Survival, and Street Smarts.

Keep in mind that one's Job should never be confused with employment. Simply having all the Skills necessary to make a good secretary does not guarantee one gets the position. Hey, that's the way the world is, right?

I hate my Job!

That is okay. A lot of people hate their job, so what of it? Tired of being a Student and ready to pursue that career in medicine? Great! Just change Jobs! It sounds easier than it is, though.

There is no real "cost" in Character or Skill Points to change Jobs, but there are requirements to meet. Simply get your Skills to match (or surpass) the Skills you would normally get from your desired Job and Poof!, new Job! Yes, it really is that easy... of course you also have to roleplay all the hard work, dedication, education, and/or sacrifices involved to grow from Child, to Student, to Doctor to Surgeon.
