Career endings normally trigger at age 20 after the last Glow season at age 19. For a career ending, perform its primary job at least five times and reach at least 50 in the associated skill; doing the job more frequently raises its priority over competing careers. Secondary jobs support the result. A useful approach is to make a save at age 17 or 18 with varied skills, then concentrate on the desired career. Some special endings finish the story early or override the career result. Every ending below contains its requirements directly.
