Employment Guidance in the Pokémon World

Chapter 50 Employment Guidance in the Pokémon World

After much deliberation, Zhu Suihan decided to take a look and see what was different about the career and entrepreneurship guidance offered by Joey Academy.

As long as it's not as dark and gloomy as in her previous life, Zhu Suihan felt she should be able to listen to what was being said.

At worst, the teacher will teach what the teacher teaches, and I'll do my own research.

After thinking for a few minutes outside, Zhu Suihan only managed to find a seat in the last row during class. It can only be said that the students are all experts at grabbing the front row.

A group of outsiders, or more accurately, non-Joy members, sat in the first row, holding pens and notebooks, watching the teacher who was organizing lesson plans with serious expressions.

Do I have so many non-Joey students in my class?

No, that's not the point.

Zhu Suihan's gaze fell upon a few boys among them, and she inexplicably had the illusion of finding her tribe.

The course began, and the teacher's teaching was surprisingly packed with valuable information.

Simply put, it doesn't involve academic definitions or employment psychology.

As for starting a business, the teacher emphasized at the beginning of the lecture that one should not take the path of entrepreneurship unless one is absolutely certain of success.

At least leeks can retain roots and continue to grow, but if a business fails, not only are the roots gone, but the soil is also dug up.

From the very beginning, the teacher will tell you about the main career paths for students after graduation.

Aside from working at the Pokémon Center, even young Nurse Joys can have other jobs, such as working at a regular large hospital.

Essentially, the Pokémon Center primarily serves trainers and is a project established in cooperation with the Pokémon League.

It's not the same as the hospital that serves ordinary people and their Pokémon companions.

Every year before graduation season, hospitals and corporations from all over the country come to Joy College to recruit students, hoping to find some promising talents.

It's more like poaching students; if they achieve something on campus, it would be even more outrageous.

In addition, there is the option of recruiting doctors for research purposes, which has even higher recruitment requirements.

To put it bluntly, you never know what kind of tricks those tech geeks at the research institute might pull off.

Explosive, electric shock, poison-type Pokémon—dangerous gas leaks—there's nothing that researchers can't do, only things you can't imagine.

In Zhu Suihan's view, if the research institute is carrying out some important project, there is a risk of being targeted by the villains.

Aside from these two more conventional employment paths, there is also working for the alliance, which, in Zhu Suihan's understanding, is essentially working within the system.

Reach the end of the universe in one step.

Forest rangers, nature reserve managers, and even Officer Jenny and Interpol all need this kind of fresh-faced, pink-clad novice priest.

If you're going to work for the league, you won't have much control over where you work; it depends on the league's allocation.

The Pokémon Center is, after all, Nurse Joy's flagship store, and it has a lot of autonomy.

The implication is that the Pokémon Center deep in the mountains and forests can't always be guarded by Nurse Joy; that would be too inhumane.

The rotation system, or the work format of going to remote mountainous areas, is like a "temporary assignment".

There are job opportunities at Joy College through both private and official channels, and if you are interested, you can also join various departments to continue your studies after graduation.

This isn't some miserable graduate student earning only 150 yuan a month, busy with research and also having to act as a nanny to take care of their supervisor; this is a staff member with a proper position.

Moreover, the so-called alliance is not just the Quartz Alliance between Johto and Kanto.

But to be honest, the talent we train is probably not enough, and there are few precedents for sending them out.

Zhu Suihan realized that this employment and entrepreneurship guidance was completely different from what she had imagined.

It was indeed guidance, but it also seemed more like showing off, giving the students a sense of reassurance.

Come on, students, take a look at the employment prospects that Joy College has prepared for you.

As long as you study hard and strive to improve your grades, I won't give you any empty promises about "great career prospects".

I'll just slap the job offer right in your face so you can see clearly: as long as you work hard, you'll get it!

This lesson is actually about some general job titles and the differences between various job titles.

For example, in the Warehouse Management class before the Career Guidance course, if you want to be able to work independently at the Pokémon Center, you must get a good grade in the Warehouse Management class.

Just like some majors have standards beyond grades before admission, such as customs.

At Joy College, the academic requirements vary depending on the job position, and it mainly depends on the student's grades and personal wishes.

The school can only create an expected plan for you based on your grades, but after that, it's up to you to choose which job to take.

As long as your grades meet the requirements, it's your own business what you choose. Joy Academy is only responsible for training you into a qualified medical warrior.

"But it feels like none of them are right for me."

High emotional intelligence: Freelancer.

Low emotional intelligence: What should I do if I feel like I want to become a cancer?

Zhu Suihan put the paper and pen into the incense burner, feeling that he was more suited to be a wandering doctor.

The difference lies in the fact that others use more talisman water when treating illnesses, while I use proper medicine.

Forget it, I've only just started school, there's no point in thinking about these things.

I chatted briefly with the few students in the front row who were the only ones in the class. Some of them weren't even first graders; they were just there to audit the class and prepare for their future.

However, they all inherently possess the strange attribute of being "the only ones from Joey Academy," making it difficult for them to share their innermost feelings with each other when it comes to topics they can discuss.

These guys are all genuinely interested in becoming doctors; they're not like Xiao Gang, who filled out the wrong application or came here just for Joey.

Zhu Suihan arrived at the lakeside, casually called out, and then sat on the lawn, quietly waiting for Chenglong to return to find him.

Although it's only been a couple of days, I feel like I've already fully adapted to life at Joy College.

It's not exactly slow-paced, but it's not like you have to rush to do everything, or risk losing your job and salary if you're even a little late.

Moreover, this so-called lateness doesn't mean you're irresponsible in your work, but rather that others perceive you as late.

Only when you have time and money will you have the leisure to think about reusable potions; otherwise, who has the time to do fancy things? Wouldn't it be enough to just do it conventionally?

“Wuwu!”

Chenglong's voice and appearance gradually became clearer, but Zhu Suihan paused for a moment and subconsciously pushed up his glasses, which were not actually on his nose.

Tactical eyepiece activated.

Lapras was followed by a bunch of Water-type Pokémon, including Gyarados, which had been shouting and yelling in the air last time.

?

"What's going on with you?"

Chenglong proudly went ashore, came behind Zhu Suihan, and nudged him forward with his head.

See that!

My human poop scooper!

The constant stream of Pokémon language made Zhu Suihan's lips twitch, and he turned to look at the Energy Cube bottle around Lapras's neck.

There was nothing left inside.

The white-haired monkey let out a long sigh.

He seemed to see his own son bringing food to a spring outing, only to find that none of the food in the entire class could compare in terms of quantity or quality.

After school, all the students naturally gathered around to watch Chenglong's "parents".

This was historically known as Energy Cube Diplomacy.

Seriously, the sense of déjà vu is too strong.

The fact that he, as a parent, didn't feed his classmate only proves that everyone, whether it's Lapras or Pokémon living in the lake, has good self-control.

Commonly known as being sensible.

However, this also seems to indirectly prove that his skills are getting better and better, otherwise these senior students would not have come to watch.

It was definitely the right thing to keep putting in the effort to improve one's skills.

At least Chenglong is quite happy, which also gives Zhu Suihan a sense of pride.

Say goodbye to your friends, we're going to eat.

Zhu Suihan shook his head and used the Northern Darkness Ball to recall the dragon.

I'll make some more energy blocks for Chenglong tonight, and it'll be good to make more friends.

After all, he doesn't have a second partner right now, and if he gets busy, he might not have much time to play with Chenglong.

It's just a matter of spending a little more money.

At worst, you can just withdraw more money.

I can eat as well as I can, but Chenglong can only eat better than me.

Zhu Suihan stroked his chin: "The value of the reusable potion is such that the academy would cover my and Chenglong's food expenses. I doubt the dean would even hesitate for a second."

Or rather, food expenses and medicine bottles are simply incomparable.

Small money, all of it is small money!

A week of uneventful campus life passed by, and Zhu Suihan successfully earned the title of the class's top test-taker.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't have been this fast, but after only a week of transferring classes, the grade's monthly exam came around.

It's unclear how many students are in the entire grade, but a certain white-haired monkey jumped to twentieth place in the first exam. The reason his grades didn't improve was that class time was too short and the amount of knowledge to learn was too great.

Roll it up, you can roll it up!

"Your written test score is a bit exaggerated. Hopefully, you can maintain it in the actual test after a while."

Zhu Suihan, who came to the dean's office, received praise from Qiao Yijing.

Although the top twenty students can only be considered as outstanding graduates, this "antique" in front of us has only attended classes for a week, so we can only say that his future is promising.

"I've already approved the research lab for you. Here are the usage guidelines: you won't have to pay for the standard resources consumed within the first week; the college will cover them."

Qiao Yijing handed a stack of materials to Zhu Suihan: "If it exceeds the budget, you'll have to pay for it yourself, since you don't have any sponsors."

"Thank you, Dean. I like this rule."

There are no evening classes at Joy Academy; to be precise, there are no evening study sessions for first-year students. Evening study is purely a matter of personal choice.

Then, the laboratory was brightly lit, and Zhu Suihan, dressed neatly, placed the Beiming Ball in the special slot for Pokémon Balls and opened the soundproof cover of the device.

The dragon that had been frolicking in the lake all day was now asleep, while Zhu Suihan, the only human, was still full of energy and preparing for his research.

Zhu Suihan examined the storage compartment: "It looks a bit like the device used to hold cell phones back in the day."

Qiao Yijing is not a stingy person. Although it is a personal laboratory, it has all the necessary key equipment.

Zhu Suihan spent some time familiarizing himself with the equipment he hadn't seen before, while also skipping over the ones he didn't need.

The "attribute energy extractor" that I had longed for was actually in the laboratory.

Zhu Suihan decisively took out his own stock from the incense burner and put it into the extractor to start juicing.

Yes, the food for Chenglong can be improved to a whole new level.
