What is Gohan's Job?
What is it? The series says he's a scholar but can you actually be a "scholar", I mean, like for employment?
If there turns out to be no real answer, I guess we can shed our theories on what we think Gohan's job is.

Re: What is Gohan's Job?
He's...just a "scholar" (gakusha). That's all we really know. Could be worse, at least he's not a "scientist".

Also, wasn't Gohan helping Bulma's spaceship in the beginning of GT? Pretty...um...Science-y, huh. I know it's GT but just roll with it. lol

He runs a meth lab in downtown Satan City.

Re: What is Gohan's Job?
He did write that one book about how to control ki right?
Re: What is Gohan's Job?
That's a good point to consider, if you want to take DBO into account.

Re: What is Gohan's Job?
Huh, for some reason I always got the feeling he was a teacher or something for some reason. Wonder where that preconception came from.

Re: What is Gohan's Job?
He's shown as a teacher in Toyble's AF. At Orange Star High School, I think?

Re: What is Gohan's Job?
I've read a bit of that, but I feel like I've been thinking of him as a teacher for longer than I've known about Toyble's work. Maybe it just fits well so it was my own preconception?
As for what I think his job is, I kind of like the idea of him being one, yeah, though I think more of a 'college professor' position would fit him more. I also like the idea of him writing a book on how to use ki like he did in DBO.

But I may have adopted the idea from Toyble too. Not sure.

Re: What is Gohan's Job?
I always saw him as a researcher, for some reason. Writing papers and such on maybe classification of insects or plants.
But who knows, maybe his field is Philosophy.

The idea feels like I've had it in my head even longer than since I started reading your fic too, but that probably cemented it in my head even more.Kaboom wrote:*Raises hand*Gyt Kaliba wrote:Huh, for some reason I always got the feeling he was a teacher or something for some reason.

Re: What is Gohan's Job?
Perhaps, as Great Saiyaman, he’s enlisted by the government to protect the civilians of Satan City from crime, while having a (freelance?) job as a scholar.
I guess I might as well jump on the bandwagon and assume that, later, he became a professor or teacher at Orange Star High School. Either way, he probably writes books, dissertations and papers on science, cicadas or some shit.

Re: What is Gohan's Job?
I always thought he became a teacher/professor, because as a scholar he may be a researcher, and most researchers have to teach to get funding for their research.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are!
