A Career to Remember

Principal Prickly holds a Career Day assembly with some special guests: an orthodontist named Marvin Montague (graduate of 1965), a secretary, Mayor Billy Frisbee, and lastly, Pete Peterson, who gets stage fright and runs off.

Rigalli finds the assembly boring, but all her friends are convinced that they must have a job when they grow up. Vance wants to be a great athlete in the Intergalactic Games, Mickey wants to be a bard/minstrel, Greta wants to clone herself to solve all the world's problems, Rus wants to join the military, and C.J. wants to be the president of the United States and Senorita Fuchion. However, all Rigalli wants to do is play around like a normal kid, while her friends sharply remind her that if she does not get a job soon, she'll have no good job at all.

That night, Rigalli has a nightmare in which she is old and homeless. Greta has cloned herself and holds at least three jobs, Vance has won the Intergalactic Games, Mickey is holding a sold-out concert for well over a year, C.J. is the president of the United States, and Rus is in the military, manning a giant robot.

As soon as Rigalli wakes up, she rushes to school, where she meets up with Pete Peterson, who explains that you do not have to know exactly what you want to be when you're nine years old, since Pete Peterson did not invent Gumoflex shoes until he was already an adult. The episode ends with Rigalli going to school and playing tag with her friends.
