This stack is intended for anime that are dedicated to people of various common (and not so) professions and areas of work. Of course, mostly realistic and everyday animes, with a few exceptions. I've made it my goal to choose shows that are pretty relatable and informative, so if said anime has fantastical or obviously unrealistic elements, I'll mention it in parentheses up front.

Also, given the huge number of shows about certain jobs (cook, teacher, idol), I tried to include only the most interesting shows, at least for me.
