Does anyone know what kind of jobs exist for working with spirits? And more importantly, is finishing college important at all for those jobs?

And for the last time, 'hero of justice, like batman', is not actually a real job. You know who you are.

Humm, that's a good question...
I work with spirits outside of the Pro-League, but I don't actually get paid for it, since it's something I do in my free time. That is, unless someone insists on paying me and won't take no for an answer... I've had that happen a few times, it's kinda awkward.

[jagtdenjager]

I can imagine.

What do you do? So far it's just sounded like odd jobs.

[i_like_red]

Well my main goal is to strengthen the bonds between people and spirits, especially now they're living together with us here in Japan. Most spirits who come here just want a better life, get jobs, raise families, they're not much different to everyone else, so I like to make sure the spirits and people are living as comfortably together as they can.

The things I've done for this have included doing school talks, writing articles for magazines and stuff, dealing with the odd spirit that does cause trouble, try to help solve any kind of problems that may come up between spirits and people... I've occasionally traveled to other areas in Japan if something's come up that I feel needs my attention...
So, er, yeah, odd jobs! I've kinda become to go-to guy for this kinda stuff though! But anything is good if it helps people and spirits to learn and understand more about each other!

[jagtdenjager]

Sounds like you've been having a good time with it.

It's been great!! I've met a lot of people and spirits and helped them to understand each other more. I'd really love to strengthen the bonds between Earth and the 12 dimensions too... I know some of those places don't hold us in high regard, but it'd be nice if we could be on peaceful terms with them all one day.
Ruka's been helping me a lot with all this too, since she wants to learn as much as she can about spirits and likes to do research and stuff on them. Though she mostly only helps on weekends now, because she's at the Academy the rest of the week.

[jagtdenjager]

I'm almost surprised the Academy is still open.

Sounds like fun, though. I wonder if I can do something like that, too.

[i_like_red]

Haha! Would you believe the place has been kinda quiet recently?

I think the more people trying to get the word out the better! Though... I'm not sure if there's a way you could make it a paid job without, y'know, having to demand a payment from those you're helping... which is something I'm against doing.

[jagtdenjager]

I don't believe it. They've just gotten better at hiding it.

Could make it a real organization.

[i_like_red]

Sometimes I think the problems followed me off the island! Most of the stuff that's happened these past few years have been in the city.

A real organization? That'd be so awesome!! And would help even more with getting the word around and helping those who need us.
But... I don't really know the first thing about setting up an organization.

[jagtdenjager]

So we should ship you back to the island, is what you're saying.

Neither do I. Hold on, I'll check wikipedia.

[i_like_red]

Hahaha... I think it was just a coincidence!
...I think.

Anyway, what does wikipedia say about it?

[jagtdenjager]

Really?

... Hold on. Are you at home? Can you come hold on to Knospe for a bit while I try to read this?

[i_like_red]

Yeah, I'm at home! I'll come over, hang on!

*And only moments later, there's a knock at your door!*

[Saiga answers it. Knospe is riding around on her ponytail.

To her credit, she is keeping a remarkably straight face about it.]

Thank you.

*Juudai tries to hold back a laugh as he attempts to pluck Knospe from her hair*

No problem!

From what I read, the biggest problem is going to be funding. Japanese law says that third-sector organizations need to have investment from the public sector and the private sector. Maybe Kaibacorp or I2 would help, since we're basically cleaning up their messes?
