Pally Specs and RL OccupationsFollow

It's got that bass guy in the back playing throughout the whole thing. It's kinda weird in that sense but it's got some good jokes.

Oh and sorry Tommy for turning your cool thread into a discussion on Mitch Hedburg.

I have decided that spec'ing your paladin is similar to the type of occupation one may choose. enjoy:

Holy
This person enjoys a cushy job at a corporation. Work is steady and stable. Pay and benefits are fair. This job offers alot in terms of progression and promotion. Training is by the book and many resources are available.

This job can be thought of as tedious and repetitious. An equal replacement can be sought with out much effort or training. At the top level ones life is served up as long as the corporation is maintained. However, while stuck in middle management one may long for a career change.


Prot
This person makes a living as an independent contractor. Ones personal touch can be applied, for better or worse. Though there are some basic standards, some will specialize in a specific area to make an impact on certain jobsites. This job can make an impact on ones collegues and create a demand for ones techniques.

With the wrong training and skill, this job can be disasterous. A single miscue can ruin the entire project forcing the crew to start from scratch. The job is not always steady and often times the lack of qualifications will force one to be outbid by a more suited seeker.


Ret
This person makes a living as an entrepreneur. This is a battle to be seen and heard. One must find a way to stand out and show what one has to offer beyond the competition. There is no formal training and the competition is brutal.

This job is a grind to stay on-par. Very few will excel to be on the Fortune 500. Institutions will be of very little support and progression may slow due to this. Without the right mindset, one will fail and often choose a different path...perhaps one more cushy.


Son of a *****! I switch between Holy/Prot and I have a cushy State Job. Or, not so cushy considering the risks. I work with mentally disabled adults who have had histories of violent or sexual assaults. It's boring and repetitive, but then again if I mess up the entire company gets fired.

Go tommy!

Nice! You were spot on with me. I play a Ret paladin. I have fun with it, and I feel that I do well. I'm not the best, but I can hold my own without putting stress on my team.

In real life, I'm a photographer. I do weddings mostly, but I do other creative work. As a photographer, I guess that I put most of my talent points into photojournalism - lol.

This was a fun thread!

Cheers,

Well to give a little more of an analysis on my current situation...

I'm currently in a Holy job wanting to be in a Ret job. (Currently working on a database at a local power company, yet would love to start my own business).

Which is sorta true based on my current philosophy... I'm only prot cause Ret sucks. If ret was better I would probably be ret, but I went prot so that I can still melee with the enemies and people would love me for it.
