[18:14] <fawkes28> wb, seven and hi expel [18:15] <SevenofNine> Thanks [18:15] <SoonerGryffindor> welcome Expie and 7of9 [18:15] <nympheart> now my computer's being bad [18:15] <Poet> We are about to start our discussion. During the announcements you won't be able to type, but just hang tight, you’ll be able to type again soon. Take a look at your chat window. On the right are names of people in the chat, with the Moderators listed first. [18:15] <Poet> Above your chat window is a button labeled "#lounge." If a new button appears next to it labeled with one of the Moderators names on it, click on it and read what that Mod needs to tell you. You won’t be able to reply to the Mod in that window. [18:15] <Poet> After reading, click back on the "#lounge" button and type something in the regular chat like, “Poet, I got it.” If you need to communicate privately with a Mod during the chat, send us a PM on the Lounge, then let us know you've sent it. The rules of the Lounge also apply to the Corner Booth. Read them here: http://www.leakylounge.com/?act=rules [18:15] <Poet> During the chat, keep in mind the overall topic as well as each question that is asked. As much as possible stick to each subject at hand, and try to use complete, standard English words. Okay, moving on to the topic for the chat! [18:15] <futureweasley> The wizarding community, somewhat like the Muggle community, has its own economy and with it employment. Jobs come in various categories: education, government, business, medicine the arts, athletics, etc. [18:16] <futureweasley> Within the education sector, we see the staff at Hogwarts teaching subjects such as Arithmancy, DADA, Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology, Potions, Transfiguration, Divination, etc. There’s also an administrative side such as Headmaster and Deputy Headmistress. We also have medical care from Madam Pomfrey. Away from Hogwarts, there are folks who study dragons, i.e., Charlie Weasley. [18:16] <futureweasley> The MoM is the face of government--the Minister of/for Magic, various Departments for research [Mysteries], magical law enforcement (aurors, misuse of Muggle artifacts), regulation of magical creatures, the Wizengamot, etc. Various studies are conducted (i.e., cauldron bottoms!) leading to regulations and control on various items, i.e., the import of magical animals, flying carpets, etc. [18:16] <futureweasley> Business ventures run the gamut: Fortescue’s ice cream shop, the Leaky Cauldron, Flourish & Blotts, Borgin & Burkes, Quality Quidditch Supplies, Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes, etc. They have Gringotts which is run by Goblins, but which employs Bill Weasley as a curse breaker. [18:16] <futureweasley> In the medical field, there are healers and administrative staff. The arts include authors (Lockhart) and musicians. While in athletics, we know for sure there is a professional Quidditch league. [18:16] <futureweasley> So, let’s get to work and chat about Wizarding Jobs. [18:16] <futureweasley> Why do wizards and witches even have jobs? Given that they can do magic, do they really need jobs? [18:17] <SoonerGryffindor> well, money is stil needed [18:17] <CedrellaBlack> They need to support heir families [18:17] <SevenofNine> I've wondered the same thing. Why can't the Weasleys just magick the money they need. [18:17] <nympheart> without jobs, you'd end up with anarchy [18:17] <fawkes28> magic needs to be controlled so there needs to be people to control it [18:17] <CedrellaBlack> plus i think a wizarding job would be fin! [18:17] <Aislinn> yes, we've seen that with the Weasleys [18:17] <Tanaqui> many people, when asked if they would still work if they won the lottery, say they wouldn't quit their job...or find something else to do [18:17] <CedrellaBlack> fun* [18:17] <MrMcGonagall> I think they do. It's the sense of fulfillment that comes from doing a job you enjoy. [18:17] <futureweasley> for wizards not fortunate enough to be born into "privilege", jobs are essential [18:17] <Aislinn> they still need to buy books and school supplies [18:17] <Poet> Stronger magical spells can last a long time, but there are certain types of magic that are only temporary. Don't think you can make food out of nothing. [18:17] * SoonerGryffindor would so totally quit her job if she won the lottery [18:17] <fawkes28> but there needs to be laws without laws society falls apart [18:18] <CedrellaBlack> You can tell that most poeple love their job. Granted, Arthur doesnt get paid much but he loves his job [18:18] <futureweasley> I would want to so something I loved if I had a sick amount of money [18:18] <fawkes28> someone needs to make the laws and enforce them [18:18] *** Expelliarmas has quit [Bye] [18:18] <Tanaqui> lol sooner [18:18] <nympheart> we've seen molly pour sauce out of her wand [18:18] <Aislinn> I agree tanaqui [18:18] <SevenofNine> Good point, Poet. Imagine having the food you conjured disappear before you'd digested it! [18:18] <MrMcGonagall> Unless you're a full-time DE like Lucius, I would think a wizard would want a job. [18:18] <MrMcGonagall> Just to have something to do. [18:18] *** Expelliarmas has joined #lounge [18:18] <SoonerGryffindor> lol Mr M [18:18] <Aislinn> people need to find something fulfilling to do with their lives, as Mr M pointed out [18:18] <CedrellaBlack> It was the neverending sauce wand made by fred and george [18:18] <futureweasley> I agree [18:18] <SevenofNine> A contribution to society . . . [18:18] <nympheart> lol cedrella [18:18] <futureweasley> "idle hands are the devil's playground" [18:19] <nympheart> no one does anything for society, seven, they do it for themselves [18:19] <MrMcGonagall> I think it's maybe a little easier for wizards to follow their bliss than it is for Muggles, though. [18:19] *** FreedomStar has joined #lounge [18:19] <harryfreak359> yeah I agree MrMcG [18:19] <CedrellaBlack> agreed [18:19] <Tanaqui> oooo--fw makes a great point--malfoys don't work, right? [18:19] <SevenofNine> I'm surprised there aren't more science related jobs. Genetics--researching Squibs, for example [18:19] <FreedomStar> Hello! [18:19] <harryfreak359> hi freedomstar [18:19] <FreedomStar> What's the topic? [18:19] <futureweasley> What qualifies a witch or wizard to work as a professor at Hogwarts? [18:19] <nympheart> Lucius worked for the ministry [18:19] <CedrellaBlack> hi freedom [18:19] <Expelliarmas> wizarding jobs is the topic [18:19] <Aislinn> we're talking about wizard jobs freedom [18:20] <FreedomStar> Ok, thanks all [18:20] <MrMcGonagall> I think a desire to teach and excellence in their filed. [18:20] <MrMcGonagall> field. [18:20] <nympheart> experience [18:20] <fawkes28> i think expertise in the field rather than teaching ability [18:20] <SevenofNine> Just like inthe muggle work, you can't get anyone else, FW [18:20] <Alexk> trust from dumbledore, that's failed in the past [18:20] <SevenofNine> Example--Hagrid [18:20] <SevenofNine> Lockhart [18:20] <SoonerGryffindor> I would think a certain level of Newt for the topic you are going to teach? [18:20] <Expelliarmas> they have to be excellent at whatever it is they're going to teach [18:20] *** CedrellaBlack has quit [Bye] [18:20] <FreedomStar> I was going to say that too [18:20] *** CedrellaBlack has joined #lounge [18:20] <Aislinn> It does seem to be expertise in the area they are teaching [18:20] <nympheart> Hagrid never took NEWTs though [18:20] <harryfreak359> experience [18:20] <FreedomStar> but Hagrid didn't have a NEWT in Care of Magical Creatures [18:20] <fawkes28> it seems more like college where professors don't need a teaching degree they just need to be experts in their area [18:20] <harryfreak359> definitely [18:20] <ProfessorJackson> I would guess they have to excel beyond even newt level [18:20] <FreedomStar> maybe they need to take an aptitude test? [18:20] <SoonerGryffindor> well, maybe some things dont require that [18:20] <futureweasley> I think that the OWLs and NEWTs had something to do with it [18:20] <SevenofNine> Hagrid had on the job training though [18:20] <Poet> I agree SoonerGryffindor . And a certain amount of brownnosing of the previous teacher for that subject wink ? [18:20] <Tanaqui> it also is whoever they can get--DADA anyone? [18:20] <Expelliarmas> teaching ability doesn't seem to be criticial *cough*snape*coughLockhart*cough [18:20] <futureweasley> plus, maybe apprenticeships? [18:20] <fawkes28> bright, seven [18:20] *** CedrellaBlack has quit [Bye] [18:20] <SoonerGryffindor> lol Poet [18:20] <FreedomStar> but it seems like the Headmaster is the one who selects the teacher [18:21] <Aislinn> no, but he does know how to care for creatures [18:21] <nympheart> lol expel [18:21] <futureweasley> well, DD admits he was desperate when he hired Lockhart [18:21] <ProfessorJackson> but if it were like colleges, then they would need an "advanced" degree...is there such a thing in the WW? [18:21] <SoonerGryffindor> actually, it does seem as if the headmaster is the one who decided [18:21] <Aislinn> I think the DADA class was an exception, expie, due to the difficulties filling it [18:21] <Poet> True, it doesn't hurt to be on the good side of the faculty & the headmaster in general [18:21] <FreedomStar> true [18:21] <SoonerGryffindor> surely Lockhart didnt get an O in anything did he? [18:21] <Expelliarmas> Hagrid as care of magical creatures teacher would at least keep his limbs, he's done it so far as gamekeeper [18:21] <FreedomStar> there were those Educational decrees [18:21] <futureweasley> Profs could be panel appointed [18:21] <harryfreak359> yeah Lockhart was the only applicant [18:21] <ProfessorJackson> lol [18:21] <MrMcGonagall> Maybe Lockhart did OK in Charms. [18:21] <Tanaqui> perhaps lockhart got one in charms [18:21] <ProfessorJackson> not quite what i meant [18:21] <futureweasley> with the Headmaster with veto power [18:21] <Poet> Lockhart appeared to have lots of real-life experience [18:22] *** CedrellaBlack has joined #lounge [18:22] <FreedomStar> It seems like Dumbledore was the one who made the big decisions [18:22] <Poet> Though it wasn't true [18:22] <SevenofNine> The wizarding world doesn't seem to have the higher educational structure as muggles, with the exception of Auors--and I would imagine healters [18:22] <FreedomStar> like DD was the one who hired Snape and Trelawney [18:22] <FreedomStar> and he also went out and brought back Firenze [18:22] <Aislinn> DD has appointed each of the new teachers we've seen, except for Umbridge [18:22] <SoonerGryffindor> oh yeah, I forgot about Sybil [18:22] <futureweasley> good point Freedom [18:22] <CedrellaBlack> iTS A little like playing favorites unless he headmaster is desperate eg. DADA [18:22] <MrMcGonagall> I think it's pretty much the headmaster's decision, although it seems he needs to be able to defend his decision at times. [18:22] <Expelliarmas> I think the headmaster is a one-person committee at Hogwarts [18:22] <harryfreak359> I agree Seven [18:22] <futureweasley> lol Expie [18:22] <Poet> Sorry, I was making a joke about how certain teachers have their favorites, and those would be at the top of the teachers' suggestion-lists to DD as ones to call in for interviews [18:22] *** DumbleDebbie has joined #lounge [18:22] <SoonerGryffindor> I need to retract my first answer. Evidently you dont need to prove you are good at anything to be a teacher [18:22] <futureweasley> Judge and jury, eh? [18:22] <MrMcGonagall> Hi, Debbie! [18:22] <FreedomStar> lol [18:22] <Aislinn> hi debbie [18:22] <futureweasley> hi Debbie! [18:22] <DumbleDebbie> hey folks smile [18:22] <SoonerGryffindor> hey Debbie [18:23] <FreedomStar> hello Debbie [18:23] <CedrellaBlack> hy debbue! [18:23] <SevenofNine> I wonder if the wizarding world uses more apprenticeships [18:23] <CedrellaBlack> dbbie* [18:23] <fawkes28> and with trelawney DD just wanted to protect her he didn't consider her teaching ability [18:23] <Aislinn> I do think for the most part, you have to be good at your subject [18:23] <CedrellaBlack> debbie* [18:23] <nympheart> i think you do though, sooner, just there are exceptions [18:23] *** cbm has joined #lounge [18:23] <DumbleDebbie> LOL Ced [18:23] <futureweasley> that was my question, Seven...I don't know, but I have the feeling they do [18:23] <SoonerGryffindor> welcome cbm [18:23] <futureweasley> hi cbm [18:23] <harryfreak359> hi debbie and cbm [18:23] <cbm> hi' [18:23] <Aislinn> we know that McGonagall is great at transfiguration, Flitwick seems to know his Charms, etc [18:23] <FreedomStar> i don't understand how Dumbledore let someone like Lockhart and Qui [18:23] <MrMcGonagall> In general DD wants qualifications when he can get them, but I think he considers the desire to teach a prime qualification. [18:23] <FreedomStar> Quirrel teach defense [18:23] <CedrellaBlack> well he made it clear that he didnt like Divination. I think one prophecy was enough to hire her [18:23] <SoonerGryffindor> and we all know how good Snape is at potions [18:23] <Tanaqui> in some cases i bet talent/experience is necessary though--not just anyone could teach transfiguration... [18:23] <SevenofNine> And they want you to have some real life experience, so you don't teach right out of school (TR) [18:23] <Expelliarmas> Lockhart was the only applicant for DADA [18:23] <FreedomStar> mmm [18:23] <futureweasley> stand out students in their own field? [18:23] *** cloudpic has joined #lounge [18:23] <FreedomStar> Quirrel didn't seem to care too much [18:23] <FreedomStar> but then again. . . [18:23] <nympheart> quirrel was a good teacher once [18:23] <harryfreak359> there was no one else for the job [18:23] <futureweasley> hi cloudpic [18:24] <Poet> The position was cursed as we know, hard to find teachers when they only last one year at a time [18:24] <Aislinn> DD was just looking at other things besides qualification for the job when he hired some people [18:24] <harryfreak359> hi cloudpic [18:24] <fawkes28> nice point, sooner [18:24] <SoonerGryffindor> hi cloudpic [18:24] <DumbleDebbie> Lockhart did teach Harry something, it just wasn't DADA [18:24] <cloudpic> Hi everyone! [18:24] <FreedomStar> true [18:24] <FreedomStar> hello! [18:24] <SoonerGryffindor> thanks fawkes [18:24] <CedrellaBlack> True Debbie [18:24] <Poet> Many first year teachers have a lot to learn - they get better with time [18:24] <Aislinn> good point debbie [18:24] <DumbleDebbie> it taught him the dangers of getting a swelled head [18:24] <SevenofNine> lol Debbie [18:24] <SoonerGryffindor> yeah, inadvertantly Debbie [18:24] <cloudpic> Nice point DumbleDebbie [18:24] <futureweasley> Had Trelawney not made the “Prophecy” would Dumbledore ultimately have hired her? [18:24] <nympheart> no [18:24] <SevenofNine> No [18:24] <FreedomStar> probably not [18:24] <SoonerGryffindor> maybe that was the lesson DD wanted for Harry? [18:24] <Aislinn> no [18:24] <cbm> no [18:24] <fawkes28> i don't think he would have [18:24] <DumbleDebbie> lol Sooner, not by Lockhart's design, but maybe by Albus' [18:24] <harryfreak359> no [18:24] <cloudpic> He seemed to say not. [18:24] <futureweasley> I don't think so either [18:24] <Alexk> no [18:24] <Aislinn> he basically said he wasn't going to [18:24] <FreedomStar> I bet he got Trelawney to keep her out of Voldemort's hands [18:24] <SevenofNine> He said he was looking at discontinuing the subject. [18:24] <SoonerGryffindor> he said he was not going to till she did the prophecy [18:24] <nympheart> he didn't plan on hiring her [18:24] <Poet> No, i think there would be no divination subject [18:24] <DumbleDebbie> nope [18:24] <Tanaqui> i doubt he would have even noticed her [18:25] <futureweasley> I think he realized she was in great danger after that [18:25] <CedrellaBlack> But i think he was pretty incompetent as far as DADA goes i like to call him mr. Memory Charm becuase thats the only charm he has [18:25] <MrMcGonagall> I don't think he would have. He would have discontinued the subject. [18:25] <Aislinn> it sounded like he was even considering not continuing Divination as a course [18:25] <DumbleDebbie> right Future [18:25] <cloudpic> I agree FutureW [18:25] <harryfreak359> yeah, he said that he was considering dropping the subject [18:25] <DumbleDebbie> right Aislinn [18:25] <Alexk> he hired her to see if she would give anymore information on Harry and Voldy [18:25] <CedrellaBlack> agreed fw [18:25] <FreedomStar> It's so hard to find a good Divination teacher for the subject. [18:25] <SevenofNine> He only granteed the interview as a courtesy [18:25] <fawkes28> no, he wanted to protect her [18:25] <FreedomStar> Trelawney does seem to see some things that are little and a few big things [18:25] <futureweasley> especially when *someone* was spying and going right back to LV with the info [18:25] <SoonerGryffindor> yeah, cause he said he never saw how difficult it would be, never taking it himself biggrin [18:25] <cloudpic> And to protect her from Voldemort [18:25] <nympheart> yeah, seven [18:25] <Aislinn> yes fawkes, that was his primary motivation [18:25] <FreedomStar> well the interview he gave her as a courtesy but he was prepared to say no to her [18:25] <FreedomStar> and then she made the propehcy [18:26] <CedrellaBlack> lol sooner [18:26] <FreedomStar> prophecy* [18:26] <fawkes28> way to be subtle, future [18:26] <SevenofNine> Yes. I've interviewed people as a courtesy, with no intention of hiring them. [18:26] <CedrellaBlack> snape [18:26] <Poet> dundundun [18:26] <harryfreak359> lol [18:26] <futureweasley> thanks fawkes [18:26] <CedrellaBlack> hahaa [18:26] <futureweasley> I try [18:26] <SoonerGryffindor> dont think I didnt see that future [18:26] <harryfreak359> lol [18:26] <fawkes28> hehe [18:26] <Aislinn> I have too seven [18:26] <CedrellaBlack> lol [18:27] <DumbleDebbie> lol Future [18:27] <cbm> So have 7of9 [18:27] <futureweasley> Given his formidable skills, why did Dumbledore chose to work first as transfiguration professor and then as Headmaster of Hogwarts? [18:27] <cbm> so have i [18:27] <ProfessorJackson> as opposed to? [18:27] <SevenofNine> Love of teaching? [18:27] <FreedomStar> Well...I don't think he would have been able to jump in as Headmaster [18:27] <fawkes28> i think he wanted to teach and be close to the students [18:27] <DumbleDebbie> maybe that was the position that was open [18:27] <Expelliarmas> it seems DD could have done anything he wanted to do and chose teaching [18:27] <cloudpic> He loves to teach... sees the school as vital [18:27] <Aislinn> I think, like McGonagall, he was very skilled at Transfiguratioin [18:27] <Poet> Being in the education field you could continue to focus on learning and growing yourself [18:27] <SoonerGryffindor> well, I think transfiguation is pretty tough [18:27] <nympheart> transfiguration is one of the hardest subjects [18:27] <FreedomStar> he seems to be well versed in everything to be able to teach anything [18:27] <harryfreak359> he's a good teacher and very smart [18:27] <SoonerGryffindor> not a lot of people can teach it IMO [18:27] <fawkes28> he loves learning and students [18:27] <cloudpic> I like that point, Poet [18:27] <DumbleDebbie> it fits his strengths [18:27] <Aislinn> and he seems to love the whole world of educating young wizards [18:27] <futureweasley> I think he was a natural born leader...teaching was what was right for him [18:27] *** Tanaqui left #lounge [] [18:27] <harryfreak359> I agree Future [18:28] <CedrellaBlack> I have to go guyss byebyee see you sunday if i get back from my retreat soon enough [18:28] <ProfessorJackson> it seems that he would need to work his way up, even given his strengths. He needed to demonstrate leadership [18:28] <fawkes28> i can't picture dumbeldore ever being in a cubicle [18:28] <cloudpic> He seems to have time to explore his interests and concerns as well [18:28] <FreedomStar> bye! [18:28] <futureweasley> something got him interested in the politics of Hogwarts, so Headmaster was a natural next step [18:28] <SevenofNine> Some teachers love young people too [18:28] <DumbleDebbie> bye Ced [18:28] <Expelliarmas> bye cb [18:28] *** CedrellaBlack has quit [Bye] [18:28] <cloudpic> He chose the career when he was older, evidently... [18:28] <SoonerGryffindor> bye ced [18:28] <SevenofNine> They keep them young. And DD had such a great sense of humor. [18:28] <FreedomStar> He probably hired McGonagall when he got the Headmaster position [18:28] <Expelliarmas> well, he turned down the offer to be MoM [18:28] <fawkes28> when you teach, you learn and your mind stays young [18:28] <Aislinn> we don't know how long he taught, cloudpic [18:28] <nympheart> dd's mind was young [18:28] <FreedomStar> He taught for at lesat 50 years [18:28] <cloudpic> True... [18:28] <Aislinn> but he does seem to have done other things, like his work with Flamel [18:28] <SevenofNine> We just know DD was a teacher then, yet [18:29] <futureweasley> he was teaching at Hogwarts when Hagrid was expelled [18:29] * SoonerGryffindor thinks we might need to talk about DD's family in some chat? wink [18:29] <cloudpic> But if he's 150 years old.... [18:29] <ProfessorJackson> he clearly believes that he has more freedom and more influence as headmaster than as MoM [18:29] <FreedomStar> because when the Chamber was opened the first time it was 50 years before and he was a transfig. prof. [18:29] <Poet> He's now 150 and he has or had lots of positions on various boards and such (according to the Daily Prophet) [18:29] <DumbleDebbie> maybe the Flamel stuff was in the summers [18:29] <fawkes28> right, dumbledore worked with flamel to keep his own education going [18:29] <SevenofNine> DD could have had an entire life before he began teaching. [18:29] *** An_Eternal_Night has joined #lounge [18:29] <DumbleDebbie> true 7 [18:29] <Aislinn> he could have [18:29] <FreedomStar> well schools aren't traditionally associated with the government [18:29] <nympheart> i think he may have done his own magical research first [18:29] <SoonerGryffindor> very true seven [18:29] <Aislinn> hi AEN [18:29] <fawkes28> hi aen [18:29] <SoonerGryffindor> welcome AEN [18:29] <futureweasley> I think you're right seven [18:29] <An_Eternal_Night> hi everyone [18:29] <Expelliarmas> hi AEN [18:29] <FreedomStar> hello AEN [18:29] <futureweasley> hi AEN [18:29] <An_Eternal_Night> sorry i'm late! [18:30] <Poet> Dumbledore = my hero I have to say [18:30] <SevenofNine> Hey [18:30] <SoonerGryffindor> np [18:30] <fawkes28> i'm sure he had to do something to gain experience before he could teach at hogwarts [18:30] <SevenofNine> Me, too, Poet [18:30] <FreedomStar> lotsa traffic here tonight smile [18:30] <nympheart> i'm not a fan of dd actually [18:30] <DumbleDebbie> me too Poet [18:30] <FreedomStar> It's probably different with each headmaster [18:30] <Aislinn> *gasp* [18:30] <cloudpic> Not? nympheart? [18:30] <nympheart> never was [18:30] <DumbleDebbie> sacrilidge nymph [18:30] <cloudpic> *faints* [18:30] <Poet> He's powerful yet somewhat humble, both of which are good qualities of a teacher [18:30] <fawkes28> awe i love him [18:30] <DumbleDebbie> wink [18:30] <An_Eternal_Night> I think he's wonderful [18:30] * SoonerGryffindor takes nympheart of her Christmas card list [18:30] <FreedomStar> I'm sure that Dippet hired people based on different values [18:30] <Expelliarmas> I think DD thought it important to teach as many kids as possible and influence the wizarding society in that manner [18:30] <futureweasley> ME EITHER nympheart!! [18:30] <SevenofNine> People have suggested Snape (if good) for headmaster. I think he has a lot in common with Phineas [18:30] <DumbleDebbie> lol Sooner [18:30] <cloudpic> He has a sense of humor! [18:30] <FreedomStar> whilst Dumbledore just seems to know. [18:30] <nympheart> yay! [18:30] <DumbleDebbie> Future?!? [18:31] <fawkes28> you are just being dramatic , future [18:31] <SevenofNine> And he would suck at the job. [18:31] <FreedomStar> Ugh, I don't think Snape would make a good headmaster [18:31] <cloudpic> ooooooo [18:31] <nympheart> maybe i won't be chased out with pitchforks and torches [18:31] * futureweasley hugs nympheart [18:31] * SoonerGryffindor shakes head at MJ [18:31] <Aislinn> ok, jobs, not characters people [18:31] <futureweasley> ok, alright [18:31] <futureweasley> What other jobs could Dumbledore have performed other than education? What jobs do you think he had before becoming a professor? [18:31] <cloudpic> Auror [18:31] <ProfessorJackson> Anything! [18:31] <nympheart> magical research [18:31] * DumbleDebbie stands by Sooner [18:31] <FreedomStar> Not Auror [18:31] <SevenofNine> DD is self taught, I understand. [18:31] <SoonerGryffindor> that's a toughie [18:31] <Poet> I could see him as an auror, he likes to do a bit of detective work [18:31] <Aislinn> we'lll argue about DD another night biggrin [18:31] <cloudpic> alchemist...we know [18:31] <An_Eternal_Night> a candy maker! [18:31] <harryfreak359> anything really [18:31] <FreedomStar> I couldn't see him as an auror [18:31] <Expelliarmas> well he did research, the 12 uses of dragon's blood [18:31] <Poet> Also in the Dept of Mysteries - researching [18:31] <cloudpic> LOL AEN [18:31] <futureweasley> Cage cleaner at the Magical Merangie? [18:31] <fawkes28> research for a little while [18:31] <SevenofNine> I think it would take time to get good and study what he knew [18:31] <FreedomStar> I agree with magical research [18:31] <MrMcGonagall> He would have made a pretty amazing Unspeakable. [18:31] <SoonerGryffindor> I almost see him as a free agent, doing whatever he wanted [18:31] <cloudpic> Maybe a Healer? [18:31] <FreedomStar> yep, the 12 uses of dragons blood [18:31] <Aislinn> yes, I think he was a researcher [18:31] <ProfessorJackson> research...i agree [18:32] <SoonerGryffindor> more in a research type ara [18:32] <DumbleDebbie> Grindelwald-hunter [18:32] <fawkes28> right he would be perfect in the DoM [18:32] <cloudpic> Definitely did research [18:32] <Alexk> psychologist, he's very good at keeping calm when people act crazy [18:32] <cbm> bowling pro [18:32] <DumbleDebbie> wizard scientist biggrin [18:32] <nympheart> yes, dumbledebbie [18:32] <fawkes28> lol debbie [18:32] <SoonerGryffindor> oooh! Unspeakable? [18:32] <FreedomStar> oh right Debbie I forgot about the Grindewald thing [18:32] <nympheart> forgot that one [18:32] <cloudpic> LOL cbm!! [18:32] <FreedomStar> Unspeakable would be pretty neat [18:32] <FreedomStar> but I can't see DD doing that [18:32] <futureweasley> I think he did hunt Grindelwald Debbie [18:32] <Expelliarmas> I don't think he went for commercial success, if he had he'd likely have made a mint [18:32] <An_Eternal_Night> He loves sweets, and he's very eccentric, so I can see him inventing candies- or tasting them [18:32] <FreedomStar> well he did defeat grindewald [18:32] <MrMcGonagall> I rather think he never really worked for the Ministry, though. He does seem to be well-informed about the Ministry, however. [18:32] <futureweasley> so, I think that Auror would have suited him [18:32] <SevenofNine> Interesting that there are Unspeakables, yet DD knew about the locked room [18:32] <Poet> Yes, he's a Chamber Music enthusiast, so perhaps running an orchestral organization smile [18:32] <DumbleDebbie> isn't that what the unspeakables are? scientists [18:32] <ProfessorJackson> i think he hunted Grindelwald on his own though...not in an official capacity [18:32] <nympheart> willy wonka AEN? [18:32] <cloudpic> Dumbledore certainly has great fighting ability... he would have been a good Auror [18:32] <SoonerGryffindor> official candy taster for Honeydukes! [18:32] <Aislinn> I don't think he did either Mr M [18:32] <futureweasley> nice Sooner [18:33] <Poet> I like it [18:33] <Aislinn> I think he was off doing his own thing [18:33] <fawkes28> i wonder what his first job was though he couldnt have gone from student at hogwarts into a big job like unspeakable [18:33] <An_Eternal_Night> that would be a great job! [18:33] <cloudpic> Yeah... I suppose he didn't work for the Ministry [18:33] * SoonerGryffindor thinks that would actually make a good member title [18:33] <DumbleDebbie> lol Sooner he'd love that [18:33] <FreedomStar> Probably something silly [18:33] <futureweasley> he could have worked at Borgin & Burkes [18:33] <nympheart> lol sooner [18:33] <FreedomStar> Well DD wasn't always on bad terms with the ministry [18:33] <SevenofNine> Nah [18:33] <DumbleDebbie> no way Future [18:33] <harryfreak359> lol sooner [18:33] <Aislinn> I think he could have been doing research without being an Unspeakable [18:33] <DumbleDebbie> ewww [18:33] <FreedomStar> and there was a different minister back then [18:33] <FreedomStar> Dumbledore's ages older than Fudge [18:33] * SoonerGryffindor gets out the 2x4........ [18:33] <harryfreak359> yeah I agree Aislinn [18:33] <Expelliarmas> no way he would have worked at B&B [18:33] <futureweasley> hence the whole knowledge of what went on there [18:33] <MrMcGonagall> He was the soda jerk at Florean Fortescue's. [18:33] <FreedomStar> be right back [18:33] <fawkes28> is there such thing as a college or grad school he could have went to for general studies? [18:33] <SevenofNine> Gotta run. Bye [18:33] <futureweasley> as a "spy" [18:33] *** SevenofNine has quit [Bye] [18:33] *** AnnaNoe has joined #lounge [18:33] <harryfreak359> bye [18:34] <SoonerGryffindor> bye seven [18:34] <Aislinn> bye seven [18:34] <cloudpic> Oh... he'd have loved that, Mr.McG! [18:34] <Poet> Nope [18:34] <Aislinn> hi anna [18:34] <nympheart> Jo said there's no college [18:34] <SoonerGryffindor> welcome Anna [18:34] <futureweasley> hi anna [18:34] <AnnaNoe> hi every1 [18:34] <cbm> I think he would of made a great MOM [18:34] <ProfessorJackson> she did? [18:34] <An_Eternal_Night> hi Anna [18:34] <harryfreak359> hi [18:34] * cloudpic Would like a job at Fortesques [18:34] <Aislinn> I think he could have apprenticed with someone [18:34] <Expelliarmas> he could have gone to other parts of the world to learn what they had to offer [18:34] <Poet> Hi Anna - you made it before the end smile [18:34] <DumbleDebbie> I that'd be a hard sell, DD as a dark wizard shop apprentice [18:34] <SoonerGryffindor> really, theres nothing I cant imagine him doing [18:34] <Aislinn> and I see him as a former version of Harry - out to defeat the dark side [18:34] <MrMcGonagall> I'm thinking he was sort of an independent scientist/researcher, publishing scholarly tomes on his findings. [18:34] <AnnaNoe> i know! im proud of myself :p [18:34] <futureweasley> What type of wizarding job would one be suited for, if Transfiguration is your best subject? [18:34] <Aislinn> hence the hunt for Grindelwald [18:34] <DumbleDebbie> maybe he apprenticed with Flamel [18:35] <SoonerGryffindor> no idea [18:35] <cloudpic> McGonagall seemed to indicate that Dumbledore knew how to use the Dark Arts but chose not to. [18:35] <fawkes28> i'm not sure [18:35] <FreedomStar> oh probably Accidental Magical Reversal Squad [18:35] <Aislinn> hmmmm.... [18:35] <futureweasley> pet shop owner [18:35] <DumbleDebbie> good questin, I have no diea [18:35] <SoonerGryffindor> transfiguration teacher? [18:35] <futureweasley> spy [18:35] <An_Eternal_Night> Maybe an artist? or a wizarding architect? [18:35] <FreedomStar> or those people that return splinched people to their original state [18:35] <MrMcGonagall> I agree, Freddomstar [18:35] <An_Eternal_Night> haha, Sooner [18:35] <SoonerGryffindor> good one freedom [18:35] * DumbleDebbie bops future on the noggin [18:35] <nympheart> i like freedom's [18:35] * SoonerGryffindor hands Debbie the 2x4 [18:35] <futureweasley> what? a spy is a very respectible career [18:35] <ProfessorJackson> actor! [18:35] <nympheart> lol [18:35] <DumbleDebbie> thanks Sooner biggrin [18:35] <Expelliarmas> depends on whether it's transfiguring things or oneself [18:35] <Poet> Transfiguration doesn't seem to be permanent, so I'd say Auror - you could disguise yourself [18:36] <cloudpic> Ladies! Please, this is a nonviolent zone, surely! [18:36] <SoonerGryffindor> can you transfgure yourself? [18:36] <FreedomStar> yes [18:36] <MrMcGonagall> Sure, Krum did it. [18:36] <DumbleDebbie> future is baiting Sooner [18:36] <fawkes28> maybe he could own a store and he just transfigured objects based on what his customers wanted? [18:36] <Aislinn> yes it is cloud smile [18:36] <SoonerGryffindor> lol cloudpic [18:36] <FreedomStar> they did a Self Transfiguration unit in book 6 [18:36] <Poet> Slughorn was a chair [18:36] <cbm> A spy deals i lying and deception, not thinking the best of people [18:36] <Aislinn> becoming an animagus is transfiguring oneself [18:36] <An_Eternal_Night> Harry's yellow eyebrow, hahahaha [18:36] <SoonerGryffindor> oh yeah, I forgot about that [18:36] <DumbleDebbie> 'spy is a respectible career' hee hee [18:36] <nympheart> spies are very respected in Drasnia [18:36] <harryfreak359> lol [18:37] <nympheart> they also make up half the population [18:37] <futureweasley> How about Charms? [18:37] * SoonerGryffindor smacks herself with the 2x4 for forgetting about the eyebrows [18:37] <MrMcGonagall> One could work in research and development for Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. Their products seem to use a lot of transfiguration. [18:37] <FreedomStar> A charms person could do anything [18:37] <ProfessorJackson> healer [18:37] <cloudpic> Of all things mentioned here, independent researcher strikes me as most likely, no? Rather like the twins! [18:37] <harryfreak359> Ummm....anything! [18:37] <Expelliarmas> well, an auror would definitely need transfiguration skills, but likely need charms more [18:37] <DumbleDebbie> party supplies (for charms) [18:37] <Poet> Would charms be good for healer? Yeah [18:37] <Aislinn> charms are dead useful [18:37] <DumbleDebbie> or a joke shop [18:37] <Poet> That's what I was thinking ProfessorJackson [18:37] <nympheart> a housewife [18:37] <Aislinn> I think they can be a useful skill for almost any job [18:37] <SoonerGryffindor> charms seem really cool [18:37] <cbm> I think spying is respectable, just not in line with Dumbledores character [18:37] <futureweasley> Security Guard [18:37] <fawkes28> and a charms teacher! [18:37] <harryfreak359> errr...Joke shop owner [18:37] <DumbleDebbie> gp fawkes smile [18:37] <Poet> Cursebreakers probably need a strong understanding of charms [18:38] <DumbleDebbie> right Poet [18:38] <cloudpic> Joke shop.... but only as a sideline [18:38] <SoonerGryffindor> and you have to know charms well to be an auror as well [18:38] <Expelliarmas> would it be useful for cursebreaking, or is that more in line with DADA? [18:38] <futureweasley> Stay at home mom (Molly) [18:38] <ProfessorJackson> right, poet [18:38] <Poet> ...working for Gringotts in any capacity [18:38] <Aislinn> I think you could use it for cursebreaking [18:38] <DumbleDebbie> yeah, Molly has some handy tricks [18:38] <Aislinn> Charlie probably uses Charms with the dragons [18:38] <harryfreak359> broomstick designer [18:38] <Aislinn> Molly uses them all the time [18:38] <ProfessorJackson> Product creation in any field... [18:38] <Expelliarmas> stealing folks memories and taking credit for them in false books *cough*Lockhart*cough* [18:38] <Poet> You could have a service to put charms on wizard houses for their owners [18:38] <harryfreak359> lol [18:38] <MrMcGonagall> Charms is useful in almost any field, I would think. [18:38] <SoonerGryffindor> lol Expie [18:38] <nympheart> anything with making magical objects [18:38] <FreedomStar> professional dueler?? [18:39] <Poet> I love it Expelliarmas [18:39] <fawkes28> so you really need charms for everyday use [18:39] <Aislinn> I think so too MR m [18:39] <FreedomStar> That's what Flitwick was rumored to be. . . [18:39] <DumbleDebbie> lol Expie [18:39] <FreedomStar> biggrin [18:39] <harryfreak359> yeah [18:39] <MrMcGonagall> It's a very flexible sort of magic. [18:39] <futureweasley> defense teacher...think "dojo" [18:39] <cloudpic> Flitwick was a good duelist [18:39] <cloudpic> ? [18:39] <Expelliarmas> I love the idea of Flitwick as a duelist [18:39] <Poet> Interesting yes, that Flitwich was a duelist [18:39] <Expelliarmas> he's so easy going [18:39] <cloudpic> Wow. [18:39] <cbm> Psychologist, you can use cheering charms [18:39] <MrMcGonagall> Yoda with a wand. [18:39] <nympheart> and small [18:39] <futureweasley> And Potions? [18:39] <cloudpic> I suspect being "easy going" would be helpful.... Oh yes! Yoda, thanks Mr. MCG. [18:39] <SoonerGryffindor> lol Mr M [18:40] <harryfreak359> Healer [18:40] <Poet> Healer [18:40] <Expelliarmas> for sure healer and auror for potions [18:40] <ProfessorJackson> again...healing [18:40] <MrMcGonagall> Definitely Potions would be hadny for Healers. [18:40] <futureweasley> Shampoo trial tester [18:40] <fawkes28> are we going to say spy again? [18:40] <Aislinn> potions are important for healers [18:40] <cbm> joke shop owner [18:40] <MrMcGonagall> Pet care. [18:40] <SoonerGryffindor> ooooooooh [18:40] <Aislinn> and inventors [18:40] <futureweasley> definitely something in medicine [18:40] <ProfessorJackson> magical scientist [18:40] <MrMcGonagall> Oops, time for me to grab dinner . . . might be back in a bit. [18:40] <Expelliarmas> the twins used quite a lot for their joke shop/defense products [18:40] <fawkes28> mothers too [18:40] <Alexk> death eaters? [18:40] <Expelliarmas> bye mrm [18:40] <Poet> Love potion specialist? [18:40] <Aislinn> I think they are also used by aurors [18:40] <futureweasley> see you soon MrMcG [18:40] <fawkes28> bye, mr. mcg [18:40] *** MrMcGonagall left #lounge [] [18:41] <SoonerGryffindor> healers would need to know potions well [18:41] <Aislinn> yes they would [18:41] <futureweasley> very well, sooner [18:41] <fawkes28> maybe for researchers too so they can find new potions [18:41] <Expelliarmas> seems healers would have to know everything really well [18:41] <DumbleDebbie> yeah potions would be good for healing... or poisoning [18:41] <SoonerGryffindor> yes, I agree [18:41] <ProfessorJackson> ooh. assassin? [18:41] <DumbleDebbie> you would Expie to diagnose problems [18:41] *** An_Eternal_Night has quit [Bye] [18:41] *** An_Eternal_Night has joined #lounge [18:41] <DumbleDebbie> yep, would be handy for an assasin [18:41] <Expelliarmas> and come up with treatments [but not stitching] [18:42] <Poet> Parents probably get a lot of use out of potions for sick children - a good thing for a parent to know [18:42] <futureweasley> Before he became the head of the Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects, Arthur worked in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department. He was not well paid for that Ministry job. What jobs do you think are high paying in the wizarding world, and which are low paying? Why do you think that is? [18:42] <Poet> Dangerous jobs pay more [18:42] <SoonerGryffindor> Death Eater? [18:42] <Aislinn> I think Aurors are fairly highly paid [18:42] <Poet> those involving loss of limb - dragon keeper [18:42] <fawkes28> i think the aurors would get well paid [18:42] <An_Eternal_Night> I accidentally unplugged my computer.... that's one genius point for me. [18:42] <Aislinn> because of the danger involved [18:42] <cloudpic> Difficult jobs... since fewer people can do them... [18:42] <DumbleDebbie> obliviators are probably paid more, secrecy is so key [18:42] <SoonerGryffindor> lol AEN [18:42] <Expelliarmas> DEs likely don't make a load of dough, LV is a cheapskate [18:42] <DumbleDebbie> LOL AEN [18:42] <futureweasley> pay more [18:42] <futureweasley> jobs with more "respect" [18:42] <Poet> Charm breakers or jobs involving finance, thought the goblins probably like to hold onto their money [18:43] <Aislinn> which ones are respected, FW? [18:43] <fawkes28> i bet teachers don't get well paid [18:43] <Poet> *though the goblins [18:43] <Alexk> death eater's payment is satisfying lv [18:43] *** Val_Halla has joined #lounge [18:43] <cloudpic> I agree, Expell... I doubt they get any "pay" just bribes and boons [18:43] <Aislinn> hi Val [18:43] <DumbleDebbie> if unspeakables are scientist being paid by the Ministry, they probably aren't millionaires either [18:43] <fawkes28> i think a curse breaker would do well with money [18:43] <SoonerGryffindor> I bet you're right fawkes [18:43] <futureweasley> Wizards don't really think that "Muggle Artifacts" are worth studying [18:43] <FreedomStar> I agree with Fawkes [18:43] <ProfessorJackson> i don't know about the respect. teachers have high respect, but judging by snape's home, not much pay... [18:43] <Expelliarmas> the cursebreakers, though, work for gringotts, not the MoM [18:43] <Aislinn> curse breakers probably get a cut of the treasure they find [18:43] <SoonerGryffindor> I bet Voldie has loads of mney, and we all know that the Goblins reallu dont care if you are on the MoM's most wanted list [18:43] <futureweasley> however, hunting dark wizards is a more dangerous job [18:43] <cloudpic> Shop owners seem to do well if they have the right product! (twins) [18:44] <Aislinn> good point professor [18:44] <Poet> Inn keepers may not make a lot of money, but your never know. [18:44] <DumbleDebbie> yeah the aurors should get hazard pay [18:44] <ProfessorJackson> business owners seem to do well if they can make a go of it... [18:44] <FreedomStar> well in the US accountants make tons of money [18:44] <Poet> Exactly cloudpic [18:44] <Aislinn> I wonder if Quidditch players are high paid, like athletes here [18:44] <FreedomStar> big businesses [18:44] <cloudpic> We don't pay our policemen or soldiers well at all.... [18:44] <Expelliarmas> Jobs which involve Muggles likely don't get good pay, Muggles not being high on the list of wizard respect [18:44] <SoonerGryffindor> I want to know what Unspeakables make [18:44] <FreedomStar> I bet Quidditch players are highly paid [18:44] <Expelliarmas> or jobs which involve the goblins, elves, giants, etc . [18:44] <futureweasley> I would like so Aislinn...look at the marketing [18:44] <An_Eternal_Night> I think that quiditch players probably are high paid [18:44] <fawkes28> well, they are never going to tell you now are they, sooner? lol [18:44] <FreedomStar> I wonder about the people on the Wizengamot. [18:44] <SoonerGryffindor> what about entertainers? Wonder what the weird sisters make? This post has been edited by Poet: Oct 18 2006, 09:19 PM |
