Line 185:
** Less of a reach, though, as all of his ''DKC'' services involve building and subsequently selling/renting machines. As for ''Mario Kart'', just about everyone in the extended Mario universe seems to do that (presumably he built his own karts.)
* In ''[[No More Heroes]]'', protagonist Travis earns his money in both games by doing every job imaginable, however, his boss in each job is always the same. It probably has something to do with "the unspoken laws of Santa Destroy" he keeps babbling about.
* According to the ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' [http://www.teamfortress.com/war/demo/01.htm War! Update comics]{{Dead link}}, the RED Demoman's father held something like thirty jobs simultaneously. (The Demoman himself works three jobs.)
* Besides being [[The Hero]], Link himself has had many oddjobs. A world traveler in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', a blacksmith's apprentice in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'' and ''A Link Between Worlds''. Finally a rancher in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. These jobs later turn out to be [[Chekhov's Skill]]s when helping others on side quests or fighting a monster.
** Those are [[Reincarnation|actually]] [[Legacy Character|different Links]]. Albeit his run from hero in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' to adventurer in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'' may count.
Line 261:
* Jonesy, a character from ''[[6teen]]'', has a running gag of being fired [[Once an Episode]]. He's also a main character, which is a tad rare.
* Jimmy Witchard the violent brain-damaged man from ''[[King of the Hill]]'' has a different job nearly every time we see him, a concession stand manager, garbage man, janitor, amateur artist,etc.
* The first two seasons of ''[[Rugrats]]'' featured [[Those Two Guys|a pair of teenagers]] named [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20121103150055/http://rugratonline.com/rrchar3c.htm#LarrySteve Larry and Steve] who would be working a job of some sort only to have the babies cause them to mess it up. Of course, the fact that they kept messing up their jobs no doubt explains why they kept changing them.
* This is Goofy's whole schtick in [[Classic Disney Shorts]]. He's later joined by Mickey and Donald. Then again, Donald has had quite a lot of jobs himself, mostly due to his own incompetence.
* In the original ''[[The Flintstones]]'' series, Barney is never shown with a consistent job, though in later specials and series he is often shown working alongside Fred at Mr. Slate's quarry.
