JinEdit

Could Jin's profession be crime? Personal Assistant? -- Ohmyn0 13:10, 22 October 2006 (PDT)

Good point on Jin, I think that fits; also adding Mr. Paik. --PandoraX 13:13, 22 October 2006 (PDT)

LockeEdit

Sales? What actually is his job? -- Ohmyn0 13:10, 22 October 2006 (PDT)

I think Locke is difficult here, because his jobs change a lot, and he doesn't stick to one very long. --PandoraX 13:13, 22 October 2006 (PDT)
What about lackey? or whipping boy? He never seems to be on top, always to be under someone else's power. But then again, this is just his character development on the show and island. -- Ohmyn0 13:20, 22 October 2006 (PDT)
How about his job is Job. --Brother 13:22, 22 October 2006 (PDT)
OK to post people in multiple places. Locke had many jobs, can be listed in all.--Tigerlily 18:32, 22 October 2006 (PDT)

Minor CharactersEdit

Arzt- School teacher Frogurt, Cindy, etc... Just jumpstarting the cause some more... --Brother 13:14, 22 October 2006 (PDT)

pickett? he uses military terminology, and seems to be one of the more... proactive members when it comes to keeping jack and co in line. --kaini. 18:44, 22 October 2006 (PDT)

I think the connection of the Others to the military is still tenuable, and can't be counted yet. Because they may have received paramilitary training (like a lot of cult members and criminals get), but not necessarily have a true affiliation. A lot of gun club people, for example, use military lingo. --PandoraX 18:47, 22 October 2006 (PDT)
true. actually pickett reminds me more of a guy who has a shack in the mountains full of beans and guns than a military guy, to be honest :P --kaini. 18:52, 22 October 2006 (PDT)
Beans and guns, nice. That imagery reminds me of (WWII) bomb shelters/hatches, and we come full circle. We can't do occupational listings for the Others yet, but has anyone done a chain-of-command tree or anything like it? Is it something useful or would it just be a tedious sideways project. --Brother 19:19, 22 October 2006 (PDT)
well, it would obviously belong in the theories section here or on the others, but i guess it's doable. (benry -> juliet, tom, bea -> pickett, goodwin, ethan, some other guys...) would be my guess. it's a bit fuzzy at this point really... after s03e06 i have a feeling we'll have a good grasp for the hierarchy there, i'm guessing --kaini. 19:29, 22 October 2006 (PDT)
On the Others page, check "Prominent Others", which I believe is already loosely in order of importance within that society. It's hard to know for sure who is above another at this point in the story, however, so at this point it's probably best left to the talk page over there. --PandoraX 16:12, 29 October 2006 (PST)

Including TLE Characters?Edit

  • Dunno what you guys think for that, I have been avoiding adding them so far. There are a few TLE characters that could be added, however, such as Mittelwerk (scientific research), Peter Thompson (lawyer), DJ Dan (ex-military). --PandoraX 16:12, 29 October 2006 (PST)

Michael Edit

He's listed under Art? I thought he was an engineer. If he can be listed as an artist, wouldn't Desmond be under this category as well? --Amberjet11 14:02, 31 October 2006 (PST)

  • Well, Michael's profession really was art, it wasn't just a hobby. He said he was an artist in Special, but was just working in construction to make ends meet while Walt was born, he was telling Susan that eventually he would go back to it. --PandoraX 16:57, 12 November 2006 (PST)

RewritesEdit

  • I think I'm going to try to overhaul this page somewhat, to make it less listy and give more information. For example, for each character listed there will be a short bit of background upon how they link to the particular job. I am also going to add a few images here and there.

Does anyone have any huge problems with this? --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  02:58, 28 January 2007 (PST)

  • It's a year later and I don't see any difference. :D - TheAma1 07:36, 16 February 2008 (PST)
  • Also add a section or a link if there is a page I missed for the occupations/ jobs for the others and/or the DHARMA_Initiative that were printed on their jumpsuits. Forcedaccount 15:39, 9 June 2008 (PDT)
    • I'm thinking of a new article which would look, something like this:--Orhan94 10:04, 10 June 2008 (PDT)
Picture Name Occuation Work Place Current employment status
Achara.jpg
Achara Tattoo artist. Phukett, Thailand. Employed.
DesmondS4a.jpg
Desmond Hume Set designer. Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Quit job, before joining "The Royal Scots".
MichaelS4a.jpg
Michael Dawson Artist. Never worked as one. Character is deceased.
Shannon blue.jpg
Shannon Rutherford Ballet instructor. Unknown. Character is deceased
Thomas.jpg
Thomas Painter. Unknown, probably at his home. Unknown.
      • Please be free to leave suggestions and comments about it here.--Orhan94 10:04, 10 June 2008 (PDT)

Usefulness Edit

I know a lot of work has gone into this page, but is it really telling us anything? For example, does the fact that Mr. Eko was a drug runner in Nigeria and that Anthony Cooper was a confidence man in the United States mean they had an opportunity to forge a connection?--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 16:32, 13 December 2008 (PST)

Hurley? Edit

Didn't he buy the Mr.Cluck chain? which makes him on this list? Metroid101 21:32, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
