modern les amis ocupational/schooling hcs:
this seems random but i just wanna talk about it!
enjolras: he's in grad school and he is very unemployed. it's not actually a bad thing! he went to school initially for political science and that was all fun and games until he realized the job opportunities he had within that weren't really stuff he was into. he didn't want to be a laywer or a sales rep or a reporter; he wanted to MAKE CHANGE! unfortunately that's typically a nonprofit sort of venture, so enjolras is going back to school for community/social change and he's maybe sort of living on combeferre's pull-out couch, but it's okay. he cooks (poorly) and cleans (well enough) and does a lot of volunteer work. he's unemployed, but he's still out and about doing what he can to be a promising member of society
courfeyrac: he withstood the longest in the run for the law school gang. he was seriously so close to graduating but he dropped out and went to school for music instead. courfeyrac had been playing the cello for 9 years by the time he was about to graduate and he knew that if he was gonna go into law, he would hate his life. it wasn't something he enjoyed. he got a masters in music instead and he plays for an orchestra! his director stresses him out sometimes, but he meshes more with music people and he loves what he does. it's a win for everyone (he has one sided beef w the first chair for cellos, though. courfeyrac DESPISES the first chair and wants their position so badly but the first chair sees him and is like "omg how was your weekend :)))" and they're so genuine with their kindness)
combeferre: he goes through med school with joly and then goes back to school to get a doctorate in psychology. he wants to work with counseling and therapy but atm he works in clinical psychology. he makes pretty good schmoney so providing for him and enj isn't that difficult
prouvaire: he went to school for music and he's currently working as an unpaid intern at a music studio, bless his heart. he wants to be a bigger rapper one day and talks to a lot of producers and musicians for inspo on how to grow past getting 8 listens from only his friends on soundcloud. he also sells bracelets on etsy and crochets sweaters on etsy and candles on etsy... there's a lot of etsy. he has really cute packaging, though, and throws in stickers and handwritten notes. he's cool, he has a cool shop. he's the kind of small business you wanna buy from
feuilly: he went to uni for a year before realizing that this was too expensive and he just couldn't do it. he's never been good at school and he makes the decision to go through life without a degree. he works with a construction company and has... arms... strong arms... wow
bahorel: law-school drop out. he tried, okay? bahorel TRIED. it just wasn't for him and he couldn't stand annoyingly pretentious law students and he had to drop out. he got hired by the same company that feuilly works for after feuilly offered to get him an interview with his boss and now they're construction buddies! he loves it. it's a lot of early mornings, sore arms, and back pain, but he loves the physical work. it's what he's used to and it's something he's good at :)
joly: he went through med school with ferre and it was both the best and worst decision of his life. he is so tired. all the time. he specializes in optometry and it bleeds into his everyday life. grantaire gets a free pair of blue-light glasses all the time along with notes begging him to keep his posture alright when he's working at the computer and reminding him to take breaks.
bossuet: he did not make it out of law school. it happens to the best of us (more like the all of them). he withstood more than bahorel, but dropped out before courf. he just. man. none of these guys were built for their parents' dreams. he went to cosmetology school afterwards, just for a practical degree in something, and he works at a hair salon ironically enough. he gets tipped pretty well because cutting hair is the one thing he doesn't seem to have bad luck with and he's really good at holding conversations with his clients. bossuet is vvv likeable, people want to come back and get their hair done just to see him
grantaire: he went to school for animation and works at an animation company at the moment! his job is very tiring and he is very exhausted all the fucking time. he specialized in 2d animation but he's trying to branch out and learn 3d because he'd find a lot more job opportunities. atm he's working on a kid's show and he kind of hates the style but it's not the worst job he's ever done. it's not the worst.
bonus :) :
marius: he left after the first day of pre-law god bless, he never made it to law school. anyway he got a masters in history and he works in a WW1 museum :) he loves his job a lot and he works in the back rooms, cataloging information and writing plaques of information for new exhibits. he loves his job omg i cannot express to you enough how much he loves war history
cosette: ballet cosette! ballet cosette! ballerina cosette! she went to a college for dance and now works at a prestigious dance company. she's really dedicated to her work and she's built as fuck. valjean goes to all of her shows and always brings a bouquet of flowers with him to give her afterwards
eponine: she never went to uni bc it was too expensive and she didn't want to take out a loan and wind up like dear old dad. she works retail at a tech shop and uses her employee discount to buy cameras, mics, lighting, and more because really she wants to be a director. she'd never go to film school or even admit that she wishes she could have gone, but she doesn't need to. she makes projects on her own and her apartment has scripts and storyboards in progress taped to her wall. her friends and siblings also get that employee-discount tech gift for holidays and birthdays
