Fan Casting Adaptational Job Change in Sort by Tropes

A character in an adaptation, remake, reboot, Alternate Continuity and so on has a different occupation than in the original source material. This can happen for a number of reasons. It could be the original job may not have paid a lot, didn't suit the character or maybe because of changes in technology or society. The job may also be left out of the adaptation or become an Informed Attribute if the adaptation simply has no narrative use for it.
