At a party today the topic of conversation wandered into the professional lives of monsters.
Zombies: Lawyer. The newly risen zombies are typically wearing their Sunday best that they were buried in. i.e. A nice suit. They would look almost identical to a professional lawyer.
Werewolves: Working the rigs up north. They are already hairy so they should fit in. And they would do well working in the wilderness.
Frankenstein’s monster (original version): Day care centre. Sure he had problems with that one child, but I think he learned his lesson. He’s gentle and I think he would work well with kids.
Frankenstein’s monster (movie version): Demolitionist. I can totally see him working the big crane with the wrecking ball.
Mummy: Actuary. Clearly his previous job experience is ex-pharoah, but now I see him more in the long-term planning. Of course if he’s using one of the old style calculators he has to make sure he doesn’t accidentally use his bandage in the paper feed. Really, that’s just embarrassing and more worthy of Scooby-Doo.
Creature from the Black Lagoon: Sushi chef.
Godzilla: Open pit mining. But that is more a function of his size than any particular personal aptitude. He seems more like a people-person, so he might not like working alone in the wilderness, but then again he does have to contend with the radiation he gives off. Sometimes your body just doesn’t match your personality.
