I can imagine Gus joining the army depending on his relationship with his dad.

      Dunno. I can’t imagine Spinelli taking orders from anyone unless it’s someone she respects, like TJ.

      I can definitely imagine her in the trenches however

      that’s a (major) background worry that could be applied to anyone. I’m asking specifically about the recess characters

    Gus - the “computer” guy in his office, gets loads of shit dumped on him and has to help people with Excel all day.

    Gretchen - Scientist / Professor

    Spinelli - Mechanic or something else physical - gets wasted and has her holes filled every night

    Mikey - “Journalist” or writes articles for a newspaper / website.

    TJ - Douchebag project manager

    Vince - Basketball coach

      Spinelli

      Is this really the fate you want for a beloved character from your childhood?

      TJ

      I take it he wasn’t your favourite character growing up

      Interesting. So Gus has a falling out with his father, and rejects his army “heritage” and goes fully into the world of software/hardware.

      Gretchen likely then works as a librarian or as a public service educator, and has to make ends meet by supplanting her income online.

      Spinelli doesn’t strike me as a coffee aficionado, but she is highly strung and so probably would thrive in a hands-on demanding environment like a coffee house.

      Mikey, as a youtuber who consumes lots of food. Yes, I could probably see that. I hoped more that he would be literally on stage performing theater, but I suppose youtube is a stage of sorts where you find your ideal audience, and so food and performance seems like a good fit.

      TJ as a mechanic. I guess so, though it feels like a waste of his inspirational, organizational, and creativity skills, though the same could be said for many kids with failed dreams.

      Vincent in middle management. Perhaps his passion for sports did not translate well into adulthood and he had to find himself a normal job.
