Hood Council Note: Professional Jobs

Residents are upset about the lack of "professional" jobs in the hood. For my purposes, I've defined "professional" to mean a job that requires a university degree or advanced training not readily available. I've done a survey and discovered the following:


  • The Medical Centre requires a university degree to be eligible for a job.
    Medical Centre Director-Pre-Medical Biology or Psychology degree
    Nurse-Psychology degree
    Pharmacist-Natural Science degree
    Surgeon-Pre-Medical Biology degree

  • Some Civic Employees are required to hold degrees pertaining to thier position.
    Hood Council President-Pre-Law or Political Science degree
    Hood Council Financial Director-Economics or Business Administration degree
    Hood Council Community Director-Psychology degree
    Educational Director-Education degree
    Archives/Technology Officer-Literature or Engineering or History degree
    Police Officer-Pre-Law or Political Science degree
    Pastor-none

  • Business Owners require the following skills/degrees for jobs

    CupaJava
    Barista-none
    Cashier-silver register badge or Business Administration degree
    Baker-cooking experience of level 5 or higher
    Sales-silver sales badge or Business Administration or Psychologydegree

The Toy Shoppe

Crafter-silver toy making badge
Cashier-silver register badge or Business Administration degree
Sales-silver sales badge or Business Administration or Psychology degree

Fresh Flora

Crafter-silver flower making badge
Cashier-silver register badge or Business Administration degree
Sales-silver sales badge or Business Administration or Psychology degree

The Peacock

Host-silver sales badge or Business Administration or Psychology degree
Server-none
Chef-cooking experience of level 5 or higher
Musician-creativity experience of level 6 or higher or Music degree

The Blossom Salon

Cashier-silver register badge or Business Administration degree
Sales-silver sales badge or Business Administration or Psychology degree
Hair Stylist-silver cosmetology badge or Technical Theatre degree
Masseuse-none

Based on the results, it seems like there is a fair mix of professional level jobs, technical skill level jobs and even jobs that require no experience. I am forwarding the results of the study to the Educational Director so that he may make changes to the curriculm to prepare the next generation of citizens for work in the hood.
