What occupation did your favorite Barbie doll have?

"From what I remember my Barbies never had a job, they were always house wives with kids and about 14 pets. Ken was the bread winner, but I do recall one or two Barbies being the teacher or a vet, but they never had families"

What occupation did your favorite Barbie doll have?

"I don't remember her ever having one. She had pretty rubbish clothes and I didn't have many other toys to play with her so she was a bit of a loner. Sometimes she'd be a vet but that was mostly because I wanted to play with my animal toys."

What occupation did your favorite Barbie doll have?

"[M]ost of them were musicians because they always sang songs that moved the plot of the game along, I can't remember any specific careers, other than perhaps a vet, which was my best friend's dream job"
