If your residents had jobs...

[AidanTheGreat]

Samson and Teddy could be the owners of rival gyms. (Not Pokemon gyms, I mean fitness gyms)
Marina wants to be a pharmacist and I think she would be great at it.
Hopper actually wants to be a firefighter and for some reason I can imagine that pretty well.
I could see Cherry working at a night club, maybe as a waitress or something.
Deli can become the sickest musician ever on his sitar.
Dotty wants to play tennis, but I think she would be better off as a debt-collector. She can scare people with her red eyes.
Bangle wants to be president, and I could see her achieving something high-up like that.
And finally, we have Ken. He would make a great samurai imo, but those aren't things anymore. Maybe he can work at a weapons shop.

 

[Dot]

Pancetti should be a cook or a jeweller.

 

[Captain Crazy Chicken]

I'd like to say that O'Hare should open up a Hawaiian restaurant, or at least read Internet comments with awful grammar.

 

[LOLUMAD?]

Rowan should own a gym.

 

[Rabirin]

I imagine Chief to be a mechanic! I think he'd be good at it, considering his tool box which is in his house in new leaf.

 

[King Dorado]

Rizzo would be a bonsai horticulturalist.

Tank would be the Prince of Mars.

Monique would resume her Flamenco-dancing career.

Lolly would be a professional painter of objects she's never seen.

Penelope would be a Kpop star.

Drago would be a Mystery diner and food critic.

and Rocket would be a Navy Seal...

 

[TheEchoTimes]

Cherry would be a bouncer at a bar.
Frita would own McDonald's.
Lobo would be a...bonsai-ologist...or at least run a greenhouse.
Big Top would be a ringmaster!
Eugene would just be a greaser bum, LOL.

 

[Blueskyy]

We'd see Tiffany out on the corner...selling cherries of course.

 

[HungryForCereal]

fauna would be a baker.

 

[Kristen]

I feel like some of what the villagers want to be (as told when it's close to April Fool's day) is something they could be.
I could absolutely see Tom in a rock band as a guitarist. He just seems like he could absolutely pull it off.
Robin sometimes talks about wearing sunscreen to me.. well I guess that's the first step considering she wants to be a dermatologist!
Midge is so sweet and I feel like she would make a good artist. Although she's not the only one I could see as actually being a good artist, hehe. I think Lolly would be too. They could be art buddies!
I'm not sure if I could picture Tex as a basketball player. Maybe. I actually view him more as a chef, which is what Lolly wants to be.
Nana said she would want to be a judge, but I feel like she'd be too sweet. Then again, she could have a more harsh side. Who even knows.. I think she could be an excellent gardener/landscaper though.
Ankha as an archaeologist would be funny in my opinion, considering she's an egyptian cat.
Tangy as a hairstylist I suppose would be an alright match (going from the April Fool's stuff). It would also be kind of funny because her head's practically an orange. Tbh I would actually see Ankha as more of a hairstylist.
Twiggy would make a good dentist in my opinion. She would be dealing with patients all day including young children and having a peppy personality is perfect for the job.

 

[alesha]

Gabi has to be a celebrity/ a superstar! If not, maybe able sisters, coffee shop, one of Timmy or Tommy's shops or the museum, because of how she is I my town. But seriously, she has to be the star!

 

[Archaeopteryx]

Monique & Tiffany would be a movie stars.

 

[Minerva]

I think Rosie would be a pop star and Nate would be a chef. I could see Lolly managing some kind of little shop.

 

[Shawna]

Hmm, I know Velma's dream job is to be a lawyer, but I personally believe she would make a great teacher! <3

 

[freqrexy]

Wow, this is a good topic! Let me see what I can think of... xD

Deirdre - the one who goes undercover and gets the scoop for the local newspapers.
T-Bone - the one who's peeved at Booker and Copper remaining indoors and patrolling the village outside.
Ribbot - the one who wants to be EVERYBODY'S FITNESS COACH.
Lolly - the one who should run her own restaurant and serve lots of nice food!
Molly - the one who loves flowers so much she should give Leif a hand and make lots of pretty flower bouquets.
Beau - the one who should hang out at Brewster's for coffee taste testing.
Pekoe - the one who should convert her home into a tea house.
Ankha - the one who's that down with historical things she should run an auction house.
Rosie - the one who's busking on Main Street!
Monty - the one who doesn't work often, but steps in as a detective if a serious problem shows up.

And that's just for my current villagers! I don't know exactly how much longer it would get if I mention everyone who used to live here xD

 

[piske]

Oh! Oh! This is super fun!!!


Walker

He would be a good shop keep with Leif. Both laid back and I think Walker would dig the gardening life.

Samson

Obvi he could help patrol the town with Booker/Copper (I don't have the Police Station PWP yet, so TBD on the police dog :> )

Opal

She would work with Label, for sure!

Fauna

Fauna seems more like a dreamer, she could help lovely Luna in the Dream Suite.

Skye

Skye would like to help press and fold clothing at Able Sisters.

Camofrog

He loves history and discovering things, so he would be a Jr scientist at the Museum with Blathers.

Sylvia

Her dream is to be a hair stylist, so she would help wash hair and prep at Shampoodles!

Colton

Lounge singer at Club LOL!!!

Freya

Freya seems super smart, I think she could help Isabelle co-run the town hall. If Isabelle didn't like that, I think she would make a formidable match to Tom Nook :>

Cheri

Her job will be top salesgirl to Gracie at T&T Emporium!


AHHH! This was so fun! Ok, calming down now ;>

 

[Greggy]

I'm gonna make up some weird interpretations for my villagers, so here goes!

Dotty: She was supposed to be an internet idol but her music style and dance skills can't connect to the masses. While she feels a bit lonely that she can't be a popular online persona, her fellow villagers know her as the person they can rely on to fix their appliances and furniture. Surprisingly she has a skill in home improvement and mechanics.

Fang: He's that villager that's very nitpicky about fashion and beauty. So most likely he writes reviews and critiques in a fashion magazine. He's cranky so he scolds Harriet when he thinks his haircut doesn't look great and visits the Able Sisters to look for fashionable clothes or nitpick what they sell. He's a bit biased with tropical stuff and fishes.

Genji: The Mayor's assistant. He patrols the village often to assure the safety of the village, makes plenty of suggestions (like building a gym for the village if not make the Mayor's own house as a gym instead), and encourages the residents in the town to live healthy and plant a lot of greenery. He's being enthusiastic about the village because he wants to be a mayor one day.

Bones: An independent game designer. The game he's trying to make is 8-bit, kiddy, light-hearted, and full of jokes that he made. He draws inspiration from his own home and his surroundings. Sometimes he designs toys when he wants to take a break from the computer screen.

Chadder: Because of his distinct and gimmicky appearance and a passion for acting, he is now an actor. He stars in a comedy sitcom as the quirky cheese mouse.

Yuka: A fisherwoman. Buddy-buddies with Ankha, who accompanies her with fishing or other mundane village activities.

Phoebe: Has her own squad of friends to go to different adventures, perhaps she also works far away from the village or just enjoying travels with her own friends. I seldom see her around my village, so here's my guess.

Ankha: She's a history teacher and a vintage toy enthusiast. She loves Egyptian-themed toys and figures, but lately she's invested to capsule toys. Or Egyptian-themed capsule toys. Good friends with Yuka and they fish, water plants, or pluck weeds together.

 

[glow]

So Bob owns the local pizza joint, and Punchy's co-owner and manager.

Rosie is a pop singer, and loves the spotlight. Even though she's famous, she never wanted to move from her hometown. Ankha used to be a back up singer, but ended up hating the fame, so now she's a docent. She loves her job, and she's perfect for it because ancient civilizations is her passion.

Marshal started working at a local music store that mostly sells records. They also sell and rent VCR's, and refuse to get rid of them. His neighbor and good friend Mint also works there, and recommended Marshal to her boss. Her boss, Kyle, is pretty picky but they instantly clicked over their music tastes (ranging from classic rock to kpop) and their mutual love of trains.

Chief...well, no one's really sure about Chief. Whenever asked, he says he does work out of town. All anyone knows is that he's pretty buddy-buddy with Redd.

Skye is a librarian, and has her own extensive book collection at her home. She doesn't even feel like she's at work when she's surrounded by books. Her favorite pastime is to re-read her favorite Paulo Coelho book on a metal bench near the cedar forest, or on tree stumps.

Fauna works with Gracie, and loves to make her own clothes. She has a great sense of design, but refuses to make her own line of clothing despite Gracie's persistence. She knows that once she has deadlines and a schedule, she'd lose interest in it all. So she sticks to designing by request, or for her close friends.

 

[jim]

i can definitely see francine doing model work, especially if it were to come to gracie's clothing lines.

 

[Romaki]

They wouldn't have any, because they constantly ask me to just deliver things like one feet. They are poor innocent animals incapable of work. xd

But to play along...

Felicity - she constantly tells me she wants to be a star, so she should be a celebrity.

Biskit - IDK he's just lazy and tired all the time. It's a wonder he had the money to pay a house of his own.

Genji - very stereotypically a job linked to asian culture. IDK which part he should represent, so I'm not going to go in detail here

Peanut - she's such a little sweetheart, I can imagine her as a kindergarten teacher

Anicotti - I could see her as a secretary or in an office job.

Gwen - she's one of those moms who complain to retail workers who thinks she's classier than everybody (she's not)

Kabuki - idk so let's just say ninja because his name is awesome

Kiki - would obviously be a courier

Celia - no idea, probably a kindergarten teacher as well. or someone who sells flowers? idk

Alice - I could see her taking care of animals... if she were more human I guess.
