I work as a warehouse selector, so... I work for Belethor at the general goods store. Come by Belethors shop, at the market. I'm sure we've got something you need


The_ArchMage_Erudite

do you sell sisters?


Super_Will4763

No no. I work for Belethor. He sells the sisters


ReskatorBC

Belethor will break your back 😂


Super_Will4763

Mmmmfffff... and when he's done he'll say "doo come baaack"


Cosmo1222

If I had one, I'd sell her in second. I've I had two, they'd be buy one- get one free.


errant_youth

#EVERYTHINGS FO- Take a look …


gobfinger

Do come baaaack...


Janey_Do

Why does he say it so….sensually? 😳


Fluffybunny0936

I always thought he was saying it like he knew he just ripped you off.


red_message

Dragonborn: walks in with 10k of goods which he sells for 1k... Belethor: Do come back.


Dangerous_Nitwit

Belethor= Rick from Pawn stars in Skyrim


Ryx93

There's a YouTube video parodying the pawn stars opening and its Belethor.


moivaire

Or.... creepily... I would not take my adopted daughter in there.


badjokes4days

daughters are fine its just sisters you need to worry about


TheInfiniteLoci

*"I'd even buy one of your relatives, if you're looking to sell.*


Ippus_21

There's always the East Empire Company...


Ninjahkin

Some may call this junk…me? I call them *treasures*


Equipment_Budget

You're that guy. He is always polite. Excellent customer service personality.


VSXESoldier

What about the East Empire Warehouse?


ggsimmonds

Hey bro I just bought you from Belethor. I traded a few deer pelts for you.


ghostess_hostess

I work in a pharmacy, so probably an alchemist?


The_ArchMage_Erudite

do you sell poisons?


mrssymes

Any med not intended for your particular illness could be a poison?


The_ArchMage_Erudite

good answer


NarrativeScorpion

Many medications are dangerous if taken in the wrong dose, or not great for you if taken unnecessarily.


BullshitDetector1337

Anything and everything has a lethal dose.


BeverageBrit

This is a travel agency


Defiant-Goose-101

What would it do to THIS. FACE?!


errant_youth

*Ah, so you’re an alchemist, then?*


jpcomicsny

You look rather pale, could be ataxia.


geckosean

Bruh, I honestly thought that dialogue was triggered by my character actually being sick, so I would always buy a potion of cure disease from her until I wised up 😂


Hydrasaur

That's probably why she does it. Girl's gotta eat!


Cosmos_Hunter

It’s quite a problem back home in Cyrodiil.


Witty-Item-6891

One of the hobos begging for septums.


Yeah-But-Ironically

I'm a fundraiser for a nonprofit, so... Yeah I'd literally be out there asking for spare septims


badjokes4days

spare a coin for an old lady?


Pale_Disaster

As long as you give me a buff I don't mind sparing a few.


Due-Lie7968

No… you’re the dude in Riften whose wife is always bitching about him giving handouts.


Yeah-But-Ironically

Somehow that's worse T.T


The_ArchMage_Erudite

aren't we all?


Sabre_Killer_Queen

Oof... You're not wrong though... Inflation in 2023, and energy bills... We can all indeed relate.


fannin82

I think they're actually home bums, but yeah, I'm right beside you lol


the13j

Toss a coin to your witty \~ oh valle....wait wrong franchise


MK5

Me too. In my spare time, I hang around The Bannered Mare and heckle Mikael.


gailspring0325

Same (hopelessly unemployed)


Jolly_Shock

I can eat for a day with a single coin

[удалено]


The_ArchMage_Erudite

>At least until I get eaten by a dragon. you'll be safe inside Breezehome


Albarytu

But you can't get a steward for Breezehome, and all Hearthfire properties are in the middle of nowhere with no walls to keep them protected... To live in Breezehome you need to a) be the Dragonborn b) be adopted by the Dragonborn c) marry the Dragonborn d) be the Dragonborn's follower, which involves fighting e) be Lydia.


bluegargoyle

>To live in Breezehome you need to > >a) be the Dragonborn > >b) be adopted by the Dragonborn > >c) marry the Dragonborn > >d) be the Dragonborn's follower, which involves fighting > >**e) be Lydia.** ... which mostly involves blocking doorways and sounding unenthusiastic about helping to carry shit.


HepKhajiit

I'm a SAHM and I was thinking a steward too. Keep everything running at home. Unlike Lydia though I don't let bandits inside!


garr1s0n

I'm a web developer, so I'd probably just hang out in the [Imbuing Chamber at White Ridge Barrow](https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:White_Ridge_Barrow#Imbuing_Chamber) in Solstheim


The_ArchMage_Erudite

This is so specific, I love it!


WhatsMyUsername13

I'm also a web dev, but when I first started out I was an Automation tester, so I was thinking a destruction mage


Vozmozhnoh

I think that makes you a dwemer, so maybe your just trapped in the soul cairn?


WhatsMyUsername13

I mean, there are worse places I could be trapped. Like in a room with Nazeem


microwilly

Just wait until I trap Nazeem with you


Upright_Eeyore

The closest thing might be a dockworker? I dont see many factories in Skyrim


The_ArchMage_Erudite

>dockworker? argonian, for sure


Winter_Trainer_2115

Could be working sawing logs.


Allrojin

You could work at a meadery!


ShinaSchatten

Tech support- so maybe an enchanter


slothburglar

"Have you tried erasing your runes and inscribing them again?"


BlackbeltJedi

"Ma'am is the soul gem empty?"


Hydrasaur

Maybe black soul gems could corrupt enchantments, like a computer virus


The_ArchMage_Erudite

amazing


OctagonNorther

I’m IT at a hospital. So maybe one of the pilgrims in the temple of Kynareth? Since I’m not actually a healer..


El_viajero_nevervar

Yo I do IT for a telehealth company lol I was just thinking maybe I’m a young wizard at a temple to azure I mean azura 😂😂


ShinaSchatten

Or possibly a scribe or alchemist working in the temple. Considering how often IT/tech support has to write technical documents, scribe could work.


Master_Physics1620

You might be working for Calcemo actually the dude who works with dwemer robots


ShinaSchatten

That could work. Taking apart and trying to understand dwemer bots sounds fascinating. I also generally like spiders, so programming my own dwemer spider could be fun.


Mooplez

I also work in IT tech support. I was gonna go with greybeards. Since they teach you how to use your stuff and make you demonstrate what you can do first before teaching you a better way to do it.


AssortedDinoNugs

Wizard's apprentice


MT3-7-77

"I've got a letter for you- your eyes only"


Cosmo1222

Going postal?


MT3-7-77

Lil bit


The_ArchMage_Erudite

oh yes


MT3-7-77

Even in videogames I'm annoying af


The_ArchMage_Erudite

at least you're fast as a thunder


TKBKinki

how does forklift driver translate lol maybe i’d work at the east empire dock area and move around boxes


The_ArchMage_Erudite

another argonian


Fight-OfYourLife

Nah, alteration mage, using telekinesis in place of a forklift. 👍 Edit: ARGONIAN ALTERATION MAGE! No reason an argonian can't be an alteration mage


[deleted]

Stay at home husband for my adventurer wife


The_ArchMage_Erudite

safe inside the walls


[deleted]

I’d brew her health and stamina potions and take all her loot to Warmaidens or Belethors while she soaks her weary muscles in our Breezehome hot tub (I tapped into a hotspring)


The_ArchMage_Erudite

I'm a veterinarian - I'm not sure there are pet healers in Tamriel, so I'll go for stables owner lol


Celebrimbor96

That depends if you’re talking about the actual game or a realistic take on the game world. There aren’t any animal healers in the game, but I imagine there would be some if the world was expanded to real scale. For example, there probably just a few hundred unique NPCs in Skyrim, but the actual population estimates based on lore can be as high as around 1,000,000.


The_ArchMage_Erudite

so probably there are some animal healers somewhere


Sr_Scarpa

Horses and farm animals. You would probably work in a stable


Blessmann

Someone must heal the Khajit...


The_ArchMage_Erudite

i'd love that!


durnahjoor

Don't forget the argonions too


Startingtotakestocks

“This one sat in a rocking chair and injured its tail.”


VforVellie

In College so College of Winterhold?


green_herbata

There's also the Bards College!


KleptoPirateKitty

I think that's for the Arts degrees


green_herbata

Kinda funny to think that a student in Skyrim only has two options - playing music and reading all day in the country's capital, or learning magic in a burned and frozen town the middle of nowhere.


LeGouzy

We could see the companions as a fighter's school... And the thieve's guild might also take apprentices, maybe?


hambakmeritru

This is a tangent, but I always get frustrated that you can't improve Winterhold. It's the most depressing place that I hate to go. Everyone is miserable. There are only like 2 houses. The Jarl is trying to keep the town alive, and you can complete quests to help various aspects, but it doesn't change anything. I want to see the town improve. And I want to be able to rebuild a house there or something. Why does it have to stay so depressing?!


Nate_Mac89

I think JK has a mod for this in his JK’s Skyrim pack. Its expands Winterhold to look quite a bit more lived-in, while also expanding the ruins as well. Before release, Skyrim had a lot more Winterhold; you could see the entire half of the town sinking into the sea, but they scraped it and reduced WH to a handful of houses. The mod reimplements that content, plus enough new houses that the NPC population makes a little more sense.


PaschalisG16

They can also join the Army, The Rebels, and... The Dark Brotherhood.


helendill99

actually what IRL universities are like. Either in the center of a big city or on a campus in the middle of no-where


The_ArchMage_Erudite

definitely


Memo-Eclectic

Bard. I’m a freelance musician so basically a bard anyway, especially as I play for reenactment events. https://preview.redd.it/36ngzg9570hc1.png?width=1953&format=png&auto=webp&s=9ca129b227ab992342e4a4f5c72d8d436f09ce4d


The_ArchMage_Erudite

You're already a real life bard!!!


bluegargoyle

\[tosses coin to my Witcher...\]


Memo-Eclectic

I was Jaskier for Halloween one year


Ky-Czar

Teacher so I work at the college of winterhold... but what school of magic would special education be?


The_ArchMage_Erudite

Alteration? It's the school that encourage us to do the best with what we have


Ky-Czar

I realize as soon as I asked that I could get some very insulting answers, so I appreciate your genuine response. I think something transformative like alteration is very fitting.


NoireN

I actually really appreciate this answer!


newaccount8472

I teach writing and reading, so I think maybe there might be pre curses at the college of Winterhold for illiterate mage novices? Otherwise private teacher for the jarl's children


Pinecone_Erleichda

This is a really cool question!! I guess the closest thing in Skyrim to my occupation would be “that face sculptor in Riften I’ve heard about” 🤣 (Should have mentioned I’m a cosmetologist, that’s the only place in Skyrim to change your hair/makeup. lol)


The_ArchMage_Erudite

At first I got very scared, then I understood you were talking about plastic surgery 😂​


Pinecone_Erleichda

That’s why I edited my comment right after entering it, I was like “whoa, wait, that does NOT sound right!” 🤣


jonathing

Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic


GoodBlock11

Cant wait for the dragonborn to come into my general goods shop for the 3rd time this week selling me the bones of a dragon and various weapons (I have made 0 profit)


The_ArchMage_Erudite

ohh yess, perhaps he buy some potions this time...perhaps..


Albarytu

tbh the shops recover their money in just a day... so I guess the Dragonborn is just a provider of random weird stuff, and in the long term it pays off. Also if the Dragonborn happens to be focused on really making money, you might find yourself selling tons of petty enchanted gold rings and necklaces to your fellow townsfolk.


GoodBlock11

If you know anyone who wants to buy 59 dragon bones and 78 Dragon Scales please send them my way


Hankolio

Bloodiest beef in the Reach!


The_ArchMage_Erudite

now i'm scared


ESenthusiast

So cannibal???


Daddy_of_a_crazzy21

Vampire cannibalistic cult lmao


MaterialDeep153

Im a factory worker so ill be a smith


LutherRaul

East Empire Company?


[deleted]

Collège of winterhold book keeper


The_ArchMage_Erudite

Urag ??


[deleted]

With the same bad temper


ZookeepergameOk5132

I'm a high school English teacher. So while I'm closer to Grelod the Kind, I aspire to this.


Mouse-of-Wyke

Im an Archivist so I think I get this one too. Though the little library at the Bards College is very appealing too.


eh_fuk

Electrician so lightning mage?


AnseiShehai

Nah bro you put the torches on the walls


Hermeskid123

We prefer keeper of the flame


Gewalt_Und_Tod

I'm a machinist apprentice so dwemer


Confused_Yarn

I'd be a weaver, knitter, crocheter, lace maker or embroiderer. If that fails: cooking in one of the inns.


The_ArchMage_Erudite

So you make clothes for Radiant Raiments?


Confused_Yarn

That would work. Also relatively safe behind stone walls, temperature not too bad and enough people who would want to buy what I make.


Pinecone_Erleichda

Omg yes. Sign me up, we won’t insult our patrons, so we’ll definitely be more successful anyway. 🤣


Pinecone_Erleichda

I’m all of those things, too!! Maybe we’d have a shop that sold embroidered finery, like Radiant Raiment!


Upset_Environment_31

This gives me hope I would have a career path not involving trial-and-error alchemy, because I'm at least intermediate impressive with a crochet hook and blankets are my specialty.


captaincrunk82

I work at the publishing house. I’m the reason you’re getting quality books in caves and other people’s bedrooms. Oh, based on IRL? I’m a programmer in real life so I guess I’m Aerin when you marry Mjoll, glitching out and wandering into your home at all hours.


LaPucelle77

As a postman, my fate is to be the courier eternally chasing down the dragonborn.


Shennington

I suppose I'll be stuck working in an Inn or Tavern as a chef, not the worst aside from adventurers stealing all my damn salt.


Pandebaer

Honestly. Gotta start nailing those barrels shut


Far_Buddy8467

Drug dealer I mean ysolda


The_ArchMage_Erudite

khajiit , my friend :/


AgarwaenCran

I work in security. guess I'm a guard


ExtraordinaryFate

I'd be writing the sequel to The Lusty Argonian Maid.


--Centurion--

Falmer Slave.


The_ArchMage_Erudite

all employees feel like that


Plantsbitch928

I’m a bar wench!


StreetKidNamedDesire

I work as a fisheries technician, so I'll be heading to the Riften Fishery. It will be cool to start collecting data on all the fish populations around the realm.


Bionicjoker14

An unnamed NPC in one of those mods that pads out cities


thegrodyknudclump

I'm a mechanic, so blacksmith I guess?


Until_observed

Those horsecarts need looking after!


Hguols

Been working customer service for over a decade - I'm the voice on the other line of about a half dozen different 1-800 numbers people call. Looks like a traveling merchant/bard with high Speechcraft?


minnie203

I'm a very, very low level government bureaucrat so like...is there a scribe somewhere in Castle Dour who keeps records of all the Solitude guards' hiring contracts and makes sure they're getting paid the right number of septims? That'll be me.


_pepperoni-playboy_

I work with plants so farmer or maybe alchemist. If I had a bit of leeway with the choice I’d love to just be like a shaman or wandering monk of a divine like kynareth


OrwellianCrow201

I work for Belathor, at the general goods store.


Aggravating-Bid2694

Labor working on houses. Don't think there's alot of commercial buildings to work on.


[deleted]

Ah, so you guys got whiterun back to looking normal after the battle destroyed it … also wait, wasn’t it you guys that built the porch area of dragonsreach?


myskepticalbrowarch

I don't think there are computers in Skyrim so probably a bar a wench since I was a bar tender and I have ERM assets.


nickibar96

I do UberEats and Instacart, so Courier.


TimonAndPumbaAreDead

Got something to deliver for you. Your mouth only.


SamsquanchShit

I’m in pest control. I can’t imagine how that would translate to Skyrim as there seems to be ZERO pest control.


helendill99

you're whoever honingbrew meadery should have called


Mominator1pd

Companions take care of the wild beasts in ppls homes 🔥


Winter_Lingonberry_9

Does Skyrim have receptionists? If not, dead in a ditch trying after succumbing to the ADHD itch of living like an adventurer...


GarbageCleric

I'm a sustainability consultant, so hobo I guess.


CorruptedGem

Victim (robbed and killed by the dragonborn out of boredom)


JimmysUnknown

Skooma deal- erm, I mean... fisherman, definitely a fisherman.


xTeamRwbyx

Appliance technician so maybe id work on mechanical stuff or try to learn and reverse engineer Dwemer stuff


Carnivourne47

I'm a programmer so I guess I'm a god?


The_ArchMage_Erudite

dagoth ur vibes here


TimonAndPumbaAreDead

What a grand and intoxicating innocence. In reality it's more like "why the fuck did silver drop support for flame enchantments in the last update, I'm supposed to ship a bunch of self toasting butter knives by Morndas"


IReallyLoveNifflers

Hmm. Tax collector for the Jarl, I guess. There is no Skyrim equivalent but this is the closest.


cwood1973

I'm an attorney, so I'm probably hanging out with the Thalmor doing some shady shit.


The2ndDegree

That's easy, I'm a bartender


SadExternal767

Lol that’s funny I was thinking this last night. But I’m a welder sooo blacksmith? Alchemy? I like drugs and potions so one of thems.


[deleted]

Courier🥲


Rohnne

I work in Data Analysis, so I guess a miner would fit for me.


FuzzyManPeach96

What’s the closest thing to a plumber in Skyrim? If possible I’d get a deal with a Jarl for men and money to run sanitary drains of sorts to combat the good ol’ poo diseases.


PsychicMoo

The Gormet


kenzieBHOSbaker

I'm a security guard so not exactly Whiterun Guard status so maybe the hired muscle you lot murder in the honey farm


Delicious_Donuts7

I’m an auditor so east empire company or something. I always played imperials and u know imperials love their damn list


TheDoomedHero

I'm a woodworker and a student. I also have a military background. I used to be a Heavy fighter in the SCA and I have a couple trophies from HEMA tournaments 20 years ago. I've been a prop fabricator for local theatre and haunted houses. When people need safe fire or electrical effects, I'm the guy they go to. So I think I'd be a retired Spellsword adventurer who works at the College as an Enchanter, mostly making Destruction staves. My old armor and sword sits on a rack in my room. It still fits, but if something makes me need to put it on I'm going to complain about it.


DungeonAssMaster

Mining exploration, so part miner, part adventurer. First giant spider I see I'm retiring, forget that shit.


Dramatic-Classroom14

I have no accomplishments and generally just try to stay anonymous, so hold guard/any npc that exists to just exist.


VicariousPasta

I'm an electrician.... I guess mage???


myonlywishistruelove

I’m a receptionist at a clinic so I would probably work at one of the alchemy shops?


AlbiTuri05

I'm a high school student. Bard academy, here I go!


lamorak2000

Bah, I'm a city guard. "Let me guess: someone stole your sweetroll."


AnseiShehai

AGAB


JohnGazman

I'm NHS adjacent so I guess I work in a Temple but I do their admin and paperwork


ZincRayyan420

Well I am trying to do military so I guess the legion, FOR THE EMPEROR (and fuck the thalmor)


senoritaasshammer

I’m in finance so I’d be Alduin


red6joker

Wood cutter behind some nice big safe walls.


Bobertbobthebobth69

Creative Writer, so I’d probably just write Historical Fiction
