Acceptable Careers for Toph

• Rich layabout living off her parents’ inherited money
• Vigilante who uses her parents’ enormous wealth to fight actual criminals 
• Fire Lord Zuko’s Anger Translator
• Diogones-esque philosopher (kind of what she eventually became)
• Pro-bending champion turned aging, grizzled mentor to future pro-benders
• Badger mole breeder (nobody wants them bred but that has never stopped Toph from doing anything)
• Construction worker 
• “I saved the world and y’all expect me to have a career too?? Nah, fuck that, I’ll take my hero pension from the Fire Nation thank you very much”
  

on the topic of badgermole breeding… Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue if she taught badgermoles how to metalbend?
