Line 84:
==Job==
Jake owns his own consultanting firm, [[Morgendorffer Consulting]]. Jake's status as a marketing consultant changes from episode to episode. Sometimes it seems to be doing just fine, sometimes he's losing clients and is in danger of losing his parking space. As a sole proprieter business with only one consultant, yo-yo fortunes are not unsurprising.
[[Glenn Eichler]] [http://www.the-wildone.com/dvdaria/glenninterviewsfull.html has stated] that MTV had "highly paid idiot "consultants" roam the halls dispensing wisdom like "Kids today communicate through text messaging! That's a cell phone thing they do!" So I figured if they could make a living stating the obvious, so could Jake." He also stated that Jake isn't a very good businessman but manages to get a few lucrative jobs now and then - his problem isn't that he's stupid, it's that he's not as good at office politics as Helen.
Line 91:
In "[[Sappy Anniversary]]", Jake manages to temporarily work for [[Buzzdome]] despite not knowing anything about modern computers and the Internet: he just manages to bull his way through the initial interview with random buzzwords and then gets through by his enthusiastic, friendly personality. (When they fire him, they then take him on as a consultant to show them how confused, middle-aged people will best understand their services)
In the same episode, Jake expresses pride and defiance over being self-employed; going off "[[Boxing Daria]]", when he was employed by others he hated the job and worked for at least one "mini-Mussolini".
