'''Basic Trope''': A character's job changes between the source material and a derivative work.
* '''Straight''': In the novel ''Troper Tales'', Alice is a pediatrician. In TheFilmOfTheBook, she's now a teacher.
* '''Exaggerated''': Not only is Alice no longer a pediatrician, in the movie she's also got three different jobs (none of which are in the healthcare field).
* '''Downplayed''': Alice is still a doctor, but her specialization has been changed from pediatrics to gynecology.
* '''Justified''': While the book was set predominantly in a hospital, the film maintains only the barest bones of the book's plot and changes the setting to a school.
* '''Inverted''': ???
* '''Subverted''': She actually works two jobs -- it's just that she takes the night shift at the hospital, so the characters never see her as a doctor.
* '''Double Subverted''': That was a lie; she's not actually a pediatrician in the film at all.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Alice is a pediatrician in both the book and the film.
* '''Enforced''': Alice primarily functions as a source of scientific exposition, so ExecutiveMeddling makes her a teacher instead of a doctor so it's easier to explain.
* '''Lampshaded''':
-->'''Movie!Alice:''' I feel like I could have been a pediatrician in another life.
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': While watching ''Troper Tales'', Bob and Alice note that Alice's job was changed between the book and the movie.
