࿐ྀུ 𖠑 JOBS I THINK THE YELLOWJACKETS WOULD HAVE IN A NO-CRASH AU (because I'm bored as hell)
JACKIE TAYLOR — professional soccer player. realistically, she would've probably been Jeff's wife but I choose to believe that she went to Rutgers, had her lesbian awakening when she realised how much she missed Shauna and then pursued a professional career in soccer. also think she has tattoo artist potential but you guys aren't ready for that conversation yet.
SHAUNA SHIPMAN — publishing house owner or a writer for children's books/YA thrillers. I think it's safe to assume that with proper medical care and assistance and y'know, food, Shauna would've delivered her baby and been a much happier person overall. she goes to brown and majors in media studies or something and then completes her education to start writing her own books. her and that damn journal are inseperable, so why not start a career in it? (I also choose to believe her and Jackie would atleast date if not get married— or she starts dating Lottie ayy-) could also see police agent as a career for her.
LOTTIE MATTHEWS — again, realistically, she would probably have been groomed to take over her father's business. it's either that, or she goes to uni and studies business/luxury branding and management and then ends up working for a luxury brand consultant/model OR she detours completely from the posh life and starts over from scratch by pursuing sports as her career (which would probably get her cut off but hey, atleast she and Jackie are together !)
NATALIE SCATORCCIO — indie rock band guitarist or child service worker. no in-between. she would've either wanted to choose a fun career that she enjoyed doing or, knowing how empathetic she is, would've wanted to work and ensure that other children didn't have to go through what she did. she takes her job very seriously.
LAURA LEE — she starts a queer youth camp for Christians or becomes a pre-school teacher (presumably in a catholic but accepting school). she's so devoted to her faith, I can't even imagine she'd do anything else. she also has the vocation to become a pediatric nurse, actually.
VAN PALMER — either runs a video rental store like she does in the actual timeline, but finishes college with a business degree first to help actually develop her brand further or she works as a professional wedding photographer for queer people. yeah. also has grease monkey potential.
TAISSA TURNER — still think she would become a lawyer, and maybe pursue state senator? she'd probably leave Wiskayok so there's that. I think she would've been much happier to be a lawyer in a no-crash au, especially since I assume that she and Van get married when it's legalised and go everywhere together (which is one of the reasons why Van became a wedding photographer!!)
MISTY QUIGLEY — pediatrician, ob gyn or something in astrophysics. while I do think Misty more or less chose the correct career for herself in terms of field, I feel like she doesn't really have the vocation for nurse?? like she was terrible to all those old people?? but she's definitely smart enough to get into science.
TRAVIS MARTINEZ — he works on a farm or he's a firefighter. next. also has street artist/tattoo artist potential.
AKILAH — beekeeper, horticulturist or marine biologist. need I explain? she's so nature-aligned that again, I can't see her doing anything else...
MARI IBARRA — nutritionist or dietician. she's the dumb girl who's surprisingly good at numbers when it comes to food. I genuinely don't think she likes being the chef, it was just a necessity so she did it :/
MELISSA HAT — I don't know. genuinely. professional hat-wearer. model, in layman terms.
GEN — neurologist or cardiologist.
COACH SCOTT — he quits, the girls throw a big party for him, and he moves in with Paul, running a sports equipment store :)
