    Howdy! If this has been done before you can all throw Big Macs at me. Thought this might be a good way to pass the time until a new ep airs.

    The thread is simply this: what job could you see one of the characters doing if they lived in our times? Or, what job would you NEVER want to see a character doing? I'll get us started!

    Azula: would love to see her judging some reality show like American Idol or America's Next Model (could you imagine her ripping the contestants a new one every week?) Career Azula should avoid: Child Psychologist, guidance counselor-basically anything to do with kids!

    Zuko: would make a great model-hot, pouty, sulky. Should avoid being a stand-up comic because he's not funny when he tries to be

    Ty Lee: would make a great Hooters waitress or massuese. Should avoid becoming a brain surgeon

    Mai: would fit right in at the Department of Motor Vehicles with her "cheery" personality and I could see her designing and selling her own line of goth clothing. Should avoid being a pre-school teacher or anything where super-perky customer service is important.

    What are your thoughts?

    Oh Hell yeah. Now I can't think straight to post any other jobs.

    Next on Sokka: Emos and the fangirls that harass them. Right after these sexyfine commercials.

    I could also see Toph and Sokka getting a sitcom or being a comedy duo. They're already a riot together, might as well get paid for it.

    As for Mai I can see her writing dark poetry or novels. Some of her first lines were actually very poetic in a way.

    Iroh could own the tea version of starbucks. If there's none he would make his own and make millions!

    Azula: S&M queen. Enough said.

    Katara: Teacher, Guidance, guidance counselor, doctor/nurse

    She should not be a telemarketer

    In fact, Jue Dee would make an awesome telemarketer (but I don't think thats a good thing) maybe some kind of phone operator too... I think she'd have to avoid anything that meant you have to show genuine emotions.

    I love Iroh and "Tea-bucks"! He could also be open his own chain of Golds Gyms.

    And I would love to hear Sokka talk to someone like a talk show host-I can totally hear him telling some distraught girl to "dump that zero and get with a hero!" I also think Sokka should avoid being a professor of Women's Studies ("sexist!" ala abridged, although he's gotten a lot better)

    maybe Aang with his athleticism and daredevil tendencies could do some form of extreme sports?
