Category talk:Characters by Occupation

I came here to see if we had "Tailor" as a sub-cat for Marcus Aurelius Stimpson but found we do not. I believe we have enough for that sub-cat (Flora's brother & father plus good old "Chalky" at least) but it got me to thinking. I am willing to approach this systematically by going through characters and just adding occupation categories as the article suggest. While some would not reach the required three, I think we would come up with plenty of new sub-cats. Off hand I can think of "Steel Worker" given Martin and Pinkard and co-workers, "Carpenters" or perhaps the more general "Builders" for Martin's later career in L.A. "Drivers" or maybe "Teamsters" for Cinci and co., "Waiters" for Kip plus "Cooks" from his peers and diner bosses and so on.

It would also be an opportunity to clean up the "Doctor" sub-cat as was recently discussed. I would split off "Medics ", "Nurses" and "Ambulance Attendants" (Ernie for one) and add "Pharmacists" (Bartlett's various bosses) to the super-cat. What do you think? ML4E 21:45, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
