Many starting occupations have a prerequisite that the character must  meet to qualify for the occupation. Each occupation provides a number of  additional permanent class skills that the character can select from a  list of choices. Once selected, a permanent class skill is always  considered to be a class skill for the character. If the skill selected  is already a class skill for the character, he or she also gains a  one-time competence bonus for that skill. Some starting occupations provide a Reputation bonus or a bonus feat  (in addition to the two feats a 1st-level character already receives). A  character still must meet any prerequisites for these bonus feats.  Finally, a starting occupation increases the character’s Wealth bonus. Choose one occupation from the available selections and apply the  benefits to the character as noted in the occupation’s description.  [h=5]Academic[/h] Academics include librarians, archaeologists, scholars, professors, teachers, and other education professionals. Prerequisite: Age 23+. Skills: Choose three of the following skills as permanent  class skills.
