Rachel thinks she's too tall to be a gymnast, but no one else seems to agree. ^^() Her father, if I'm not mistaken, tells her she could be big, that she has talent, so she could get into that.
But I always saw her as a model as well. Before the last handful of books I always thought that when the war was over, the morphing power would give her epic modelling skills. The image of her just starting a morph to an eagle, or a cheetah, with the feather patterns/spot patterns/animal eyes or something on an advertisement for jewelry or perfume would be awesome.
I agree that Jake and Tobias are hard to answer here... I like to think Tobias wouldn't kill himself. I mean, he's hardly the first kid to ever be bullied; most of 'em don't commit suicide and don't do school shootings and aren't ever really noticed. I like the idea of him doing something creative, like art or writing or graphic design or somethin'. Or maybe Paleontology. x3 Yay for dinosaurs~ As for Jake... I don't know. He
is startlingly average; before the war no real strong talents stand out. For reasons I'm not entirely sure of, I want to say photographer, but that's probably just 'cause I'm in a Spiderman funk right now and the movie!Peter Parker looks a lot like how I imagine Jake.
Anyone else see it?
Marco... I see Marco trying to get some glorious job, like rock star or actor, but winding up as some tech guy in the end. Even in the very beginning, though, he was talkin' about being rich and famous, so maybe he'd work his way to stardom.
Cassie's easy; she was always planning to be a vet. x3
As for Ax... if, by 'no war' you mean no war with the Yeerks at all, even off in their far corner of the galaxy... then I think Ax winds up an awful lot like Jake. He doesn't pay much attention in school and doesn't seem to have much potential to be a scientist or an artist, and those two, along with soldier, seem to be the only options for Andalite jobs. x3 So yeah, he'd prolly be in the standing army. (And if you DID mean there's no war on the Yeerks at all, then Tobias' question is answered, too- Elfangor was never fighting Yeerks in the vicinity and never rescued Loren from the Skrit Na, he doesn't exist. x3)
I wonder whether Elfangor would have been a soldier, though, without the war.
