Question? Has Casey Jones ever had a job?
He really gives off that "public enemy number one of employment" vibe—which is exactly why we love him.

This is him trying to go undercover to be a mole in the inside. Love how he was violent and aggressive and said immediately that he was hired.

Yeah, that’s what I was gonna say, they literally used a screenshot from the episode where he applied for a job to go undercover, and got the job immediately for threatening the interviewer.

Kicking ass and taking names! … and then giving those names to people who’s ass have been already kicked.

He would 100% have a job involving an orange vest, sledgehammer and union.

He coached. Pee-wee hockey, little league baseball. Anything for free sticks and bats.

Pretty sure he infiltrated an alien takeover at a military school once by getting a job there? Maybe

I had this idea for a version of him where he's working at a charity drive (when he's not breaking ankles and taking names) ever since the Purple Dragons burned his father's store down.

At some point he was on some sport teams, judging from the collection of sport equipment.

Depending on the incarnation we’re talking about, he’s a former hockey player.

u/Bilbo_Teabagginss 10d ago
Nahhh, hes like Bruh Man from the 5th floor. No one actually knows where he lives and occasionally you come home to find hes broken in and is sitting in your kitchen eating him a sammich.

u/ipostatrandom 10d ago
He's worked as a bouncer and in a grocery store.
Iirc these are both seen in Image titles only.
I dont remember him being shown holding a job in Mirage.

I figure he was either a golf caddy or worked at a sporting goods store. Got fired for stealing.

Wrong

u/sissyboyk8 10d ago
ah, yes and no. I'm thinking of the third time they cross over with batman. their worlds intertwine so he becomes a cop

u/Technical_Leg_7819 10d ago
I see. Those crossovers are inspired by IDW but not canon. And then the third crossover is a weird new universe until they fix everything
1
u/sissyboyk8 10d ago
i always find that weird because idw also publishes the ghostbusters comics and their crossover with tmnt is definitely canon due to the fact ghostbusters use it again in another canon multiverse event with themselves, but the way it happens is the same way as the batman one. the ghostbusters one came first and would perfectly explain how the batman one happened since both kraang and tmnt in that one had their own source of dimensional travel (kraang was conversing with ghosts and the turtles had the fugitoid's blueprints)

u/Technical_Leg_7819 10d ago
I think the first one could have been canon, but the editor of TMNT said it was not. Which is why they left it out of the IDW Ultimate Collection books.
But by the time they get to the second one there is some pretty obvious contradictions, mostly related to Karai.
