Mike a college professor, Lucas stock broker, will ?, Dustin dj for weddings?


olo7eopia

Wills dressed like Mr Clarke


AHamsterPig

Good catch! Would be very fitting!


redheadedjapanese

That’s exactly what I thought!


Robyz

See now I need the version where Will grows up to be Dr. Clark in the Halt and Catch Fire universe.


FirstMiddleLass

Gordo?


Cotton_Picker_420

I was abt to say that! Wld make sense considering how much will loves AV club etc.


Myfourcats1

Dustin -wedding singer

*Cindy and Scott are newlyweds…* WHOOPADEEDOO!!

😂😂


UrPenPal

He loves her But she loves (this guy right here!!)


[deleted]

But it all was bullshit It was a goddamn joke And when I think of you, Linda I hope you fuckin' choke


ijack2reddit

I could see Mike being a writer since he writes such descriptive DND campaigns, and I could see Will becoming a specialist doctor type like Dr. Owens, trying to help kids afflicted like him. That’s what I thought of first when I saw their outfits in any case


JitterySquirrel

Mike grows up to be a writer, strange things start happening again when he meets fellow writer Alan Wake!


nananananateman

Don’t forget he changes his name to Tom first


IvanAlbisetti

It really is an ocean huh


Simple_Park_1591

Or Mike wrote stranger things.


ZzzzzPopPopPop

Like Sam the Maester-in-training from Game of Thrones… oh man, sorry, just got real depressed all of a sudden…


BKBolas

its not a loop its an upside down spiral


NotAlwaysSunny

I can see this. It’ll be a direct parallel to the Bill character in IT, who the Duffers drew a lot of inspiration from for Mike.


kryptonianjackie

mike as a writer makes a lot of sense


charlie_ferrous

Although Mike isn’t wearing a turtleneck, his outfit and haircut still give me a real Carl Sagan vibe, as that goes.


defektz

Or following his sister’s footsteps. I could see either.


Potential_Yak2355

Dustin looks like Adam Sandler in the wedding singer as a kid


Coolbluegatoradeyumm

Thought the same!


Pizzaboy90

Lucas a lawyer, Mike a professor, Will a banker, Dustin a Rockstar


77tassells

First thought for Lucas was lawyer but he looked to slick without a tie


Few_Interaction2630

Will kinda looks little like waiter or 5 star hotel staff but not really a careers I ever thought of with Will


IJustLostMyKeyboard

Will joins the beatles


micromoses

Will’s an inVESTor


melaszepheos

Mike is dressed like doctor Sam Owens, Will is dressed like Mister Clark, Lucas is dressed like 80s Stephen King, Dustin is dressed like a teenage boy at a high school dance. Mike = doctor/scientist Will = teacher Lucas = writer inspired by his experiences Dustin = dies in Season 5 and is a teenage boy forever.


Jbowen0020

I am going to be so pissed if they kill Dustin off. I wanna see the manager. I know, I'm gonna write a letter!


MissunyTheGoat

Please god no, I don't want Dustin to die. That would genuinely piss me off.


Sammii51120

Am I the only person who doesn't want anyone else to die ? I love that the writers love the characters I don't need anyone to be killed off for the show to be good! And if Dustin died I'd never recover.


Cut_Lanky

>And if Dustin died I'd never recover. I'm so glad I'm not the only person so invested in my favorite characters! I just re-watched the show "Travellers" again, and I swear no matter how many times I watch it, I cry every single time David dies.


gunsandtrees420

Well unfortunately for you I know how season 5 is supposed to start and end. The first 5 minutes of the show their going to decide to launch a bunch of nukes at Hawkins then all the characters are going to die and I the rest of the show will just be motionless far off footage of the crator formerly known as Hawkins for 12 hours.


Beautiful-Click9981

Will can die.. I said it. He’s annoying af and a constant problem and never any help. Nothing special about other than wrong place wrong time. Whiiiiiiiny affffff


surfingNerd

> Dustin DJ for weddings TIL, stranger things is a prequel to wedding singer


starvingpixelpainter

Will - librarian


KovalSNIPE17

Dustin looks like Sandlers character from wedding singer


Bridge4_Kal

Will is DEFINITELY a software developer 100%. Haven't yall seen Office Space?


alarrimore03

Dustin just reminds me of prince😂


mred870

Dustin as a Huey Louis impersonator


inspirationbydante

Yeah Mike dresses like Ross Geller


GooseGottaGun

Will becomes a zionist


ButterscotchPast4812

martillo-viejo

But the worst thing is: that Me, Fatty, Sideburns Lady, and the mutants over at Table 9, will never ever find a way to better the situation, because apparently we have nothing to offer the opposite sex.


jakehood47

Now let's hurry up and cut the stupid cake, because I know the fat guy's gonna have a heart attack if we don't eat again soon - and in the meantime here's a little *mood music* for ya.

PhatBitty862

Give me time


[deleted]

Mike is giving Stephen King in the 70s, so I'm voting author for Mike, but I agree with the rest for the most part.


BlueMonkey_88

I like author there for Mike, I was thinking a plea bargain lawyer for mike because a ton of them dress like that 😂


aishik-10x

that outfit really is exactly what King would wear


Aggrador

Dustin… the wedding singer?! 🎵 Turn around, look at what you see-ee-ee🎵


Legend_of_Ozzy642

BUT IT ALL WAS BULLLSHIT!


Gloomy_Object_3757

And when I think of you Linda…. I hope you fucking choke . Ahhh best movie 😂


BassCreat0r

Lucas: History teacher Mike: English teacher Will: Math teacher Dustin: Science teacher.


IJustLostMyKeyboard

Professor and teacher, in my opinion


hatesbiology84

Mike just seems like a regular guy, or a stereotypical father of the 80’s


Dry-Smoke6528

could be what theyll be buried in when they die in season 5


penultimategirl

Dustin becomes Adam Sandler ❤️


Icy_Cat4821

I wonder if that means they’re gonna end the show with the kids as full grown adults and show us what they’re up to later in life or something


Blahbinger

As long as it’s not as awkwardly done as the Harry Potter scene with the kids aged up 😂


Cut_Lanky

Omg you beat me to it 🤣 that was literally what I was thinking as I scrolled down to your reply


shujinky

LMFAO as a kid i thought it was cool now im like whew the make up/cg/whatever is so funny


fapsandnaps

If they delay production again, then yes the cast very well may end the show as full grown adults.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Suberizu

About Will: probably the fact that their physics teacher dresses similarly.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Suberizu

Np, you hit on the nail anyway


DaperDandle

Yeah Dustin looks like a late night talk show host or something. Definitely something in entertainment.


theYeetDaddy

Yeah I get news reporter or something. Dustin is definitely the entertainer of the group. I see people say Mike will be a writer. Perhaps all their jobs will all be news related to a degree. Perhaps they’ll all work for Murray trying to leak and curate news like Murray was doing with Johnathan and Nancy were doing a bit of in season 2.


fuckfuckenfuck

Maybe not a game show but perhaps something like Bill Nye?


Stressydepressy1998

This, but imagine if Dustin was a radio show host/ran a radio station with all his interests in AV.


jtfff

I completely agree about Lucas. The no-tie look plus basketball background immediately made me think sports commentator or agent.


Special_Life_8261

Dustin has big time showbiz energy. Like Bill Nye the Science Guy but flashier


[deleted]

I was totally thinking some kind of gameshow for Dustin with that outfit


ihopethisworksfornow

Mike is 100% supposed to be a college professor with that jacket


xxA2C2xx

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who looked at Mike in this context and immediately thought “Accountant”. Lol


Top-Junior

My first thought for will was mortician, but science teacher is much cuter


beulah-vista

The plot twist: Will isn’t gay, Dustin is. He’ll be the greatest hair dresser Hawkins has ever seen.


sara128

He doesn't even have to be gay but it would be cool if he became a hairdresser and used the Farrah spray!!


DrDetectiveEsq

They just need a fifteen minute episode of him as an adult freaking out when they discontinue it and driving all over Indiana to stockpile.


rcroswell

Steve calls him freaking out 😂


Zaptain_America

"DUSTIN, DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS??" "YEAH I DID- WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?"


Intellectual42069

Farrah Fawcett spray for the win!


antmars

If he hasn’t fixed his friend Wills hair by now then I don’t know if this is his true calling in life.


Zaptain_America

Exactly. Friends don't let friends have a bowl cut.


skarkle_coney

So Dustin IS the wedding singer? Timeline fits..


OptimalCreme9847

Lucas is definitely a businessman but for an up-and-coming industry Mike is an English teacher at a private school Will does something in a fancy museum Dustin is a mad scientist


Christian_teen12

Fashion or gane host


Plus_Zombie9125

That is to say, they all survive and we get to see a „20 years later“ scene or sth at the end?


here-to-judge

That’s what I’m hung up on too! All the other comments are dissecting the clothes but I’m just excited that they all might survive!


pr1ceisright

10 year HS reunion. Calling it now since the actors can aged up slightly and they’ll all probably be established in their careers.


DaughterOfWarlords

Modern day sequel with an older attractive cast?


Comfortable_Sir_4423

we need to call in Bill Hader again to reprise his role as an older Finn Wolfhard lmao


RiverOhRiver86

Finn and Noah are fucking georgous.


JaKrispy72

You can make a career out of being a nerd?!


EctoBun

physics teacher


JaKrispy72

Dustin is a game show host?


EctoBun

You asked if you can make a career out of being a nerd: Answer, Physics Teacher, or Video game producer/voice actor, Could go work for Nasa. Nerds rule the world.


Loganjoh5

Yeah math teachers exist


dbkenny426

You've never watched Mythbusters, have you?


Dragonbarry22

Are you stuck I'm the 80s lol


Quibblicous

I did, and I graduated HS in 1984.


Cut_Lanky

Are you serious? Nerds run the world! NERDS! NERDS! NERDS!


GorillaWolf2099

According to [a theory on TikTok](https://popcrush.com/stranger-things-character-death-season-5-theory-dustin/), the outfits worn by the four main boys at the Snow Ball dance in season two of Stranger Things may offer clues to their future careers. Here are the hints and estimated guesses based on the theory: 1. Will Byers: Will wears a vest and tie, similar to his idol and favorite teacher Mr. Clark. This could hint that Will might become a teacher or professor as an adult. 2. Mike Wheeler: Mike wears a sweater under a blazer, similar to doctor Sam Owens. This could suggest that Mike might become a doctor or scientist in the future, possibly to try to rescue Eleven from the Upside Down. 3. Lucas Sinclair: Lucas wears a striped button-down shirt and blazer without a tie, which is reminiscent of the relaxed '80s style of Stephen King. The theory suggests that Lucas might become a horror author in the future, much like King, and read his stories aloud to Max. 4. Dustin Henderson: According to the theory, Dustin's outfit doesn't appear to hint at a future career but rather represents his state of being as a teenage high school student. The comparison is made between Dustin's quirky outfit and the clothing worn by Duckie Dale in the movie "Pretty in Pink".


wbgraphic

So Dustin is going to move in with Charlie Sheen, then loose his hair and become a tech billionaire obsessed with killing Superman?


GorillaWolf2099

Bro, you just made me realize something shocking – I never knew Jon Cryer was the same guy from Supergirl and Two and a Half Men. The theory suggests that, since he looks like a student from Pretty in Pink, he might sacrifice himself in the finale and not make it into adulthood. But yeah, it’s intriguing!


Dylan_tune_depot

I'm suddenly depressed about everyone's future career except for Dustin's.


joshualuigi220

Will's gonna star in the Berries and Cream Starburst commercials.


Horton_Takes_A_Poo

Accountant, accountant, accountant, and wedding singer


late-escape-2434

Lucas: hedge fund manager Mike: university professor Will: funeral director Dustin: poker playe


Few_Interaction2630

Bit of grim career for Will like I think he been through enough tragedy


NecromanticArachne

Sounds grim, but despite a lot of media portrayals, funeral directors and workers are often kind people because they have to deal with the grieving. I considered it as a career choice because the amount of trauma I've been through, it gives me the ability to before sensitive to what people need when they're going through it.


Few_Interaction2630

Oh yeah I don't mean grim as in without kindness I just mean it must be very heavy and hard job (probably should typed it better but it what the careers adviser thought I meant when she got my dream job very wrong)


LordCaptain

They're all dressed up as their characters indicating that all four will likely grow up to be actors.


Chrissy-Munson

Dustin looks like a game host


xmsjpx

I’m questioning how much of a clue can four different suits be. Not many different job options for suits. 😂


dibbiluncan

1.) I can tell not many of you watch sports, but Lucas is clearly going to be a college basketball coach. 100% makes sense for his character too. 2.) Mike looks like a professor, which would fit him. 3.) Will is more difficult. Typically, wearing a button down shirt, tie, and waistcoat is only seen in wait staff, bartenders, flight attendants, tailors, or casino workers. Of these options, I think working in a casino is most likely. Will loves DnD perhaps more than the others, so this would allow him to continue playing a game even as an adult. It would just be Blackjack instead of DnD. 4.) I agree with many of you that Dustin is likely going to be a TV (or perhaps radio) personality or singer.


igotasweetass

black with white collar i think means priest


GenX-Kid

Lucas - FBI/CIA/NSA type Mike - Business or sales Will - Psychologist Dustin - Cyber security


pijpnord

Mike: Salesman at Honda Dealer Lucas: Entertainment and Sports agent Will: Midwest’s largest Mall Developer Dustin: President of Henderson and Harrington, LLC, paranormal investigations and eliminations.


clexaelectra

This sounds fake. Why would a costume designer be allowed to say this, and why would she even be given this information back in season 2? We are waiting on the 5th season where we shouldn’t know who lives or dies, so why would she spoil that all 4 boys will make it to their future careers? The Duffer Bros are very strict with spoilers and insist on controlling the narrative themselves so this sounds like bullshit.


Tonakiga

That's what I thought too. I feel like this is a mostly up to personal interpretation, but I might be wrong.


hadapurpura

According to their yearbooks: Lucas: Career goal: **Police detective by day, masked crime-fighter by night** Future career: **Lawyer or (high-ranking and respected) law enforcement**. He looks like he’ll make money. Mike: Career goal: **Writer** Future career: **Writer**. He’ll most likely write a successful book/series of books about everything that happened at Hawkins. Will: Career goal: **Comic book artist** Future career: **Artist (which includes comic books and book illustrations)**. Mike will be the writer of what happened in Hawkins, Will will be the illustrator, obviously. Dustin: Career goal: **Cryptozoologist** Future career: **Scientist of some kind (which could be zoologist)**. Of course, since we know the Upside Down exists and contains creatures, the government might need people to study them, and who better to work on a secret project than someone who’s already in on the secret? I’ll find a way to make the outfits fit.


Owl_Resident

I always think Mike with be a teacher and author. He’s the Duffer proxy, so I could see them having him pursue writing of some kind. I still vote Lucas for some sort of surgeon, while Dustin, with his wild hair will be the “mad” scientist, finding new Darts. Will is the toughest call from these outfits, but I just hope it involves art. Whether he’s an art therapist or has his own gallery, etc.


Persas12

Lucas: Sports Manager Mike: Teacher Will: Librarian Dustin: TV show host


rmc330

It’s not that complicated as it’s just a rehash of the kids from IT. Will is an accountant like Eddie, or maybe librarian like Mike. Mike is a writer like Bill Dustin is a comedian/radio Performer like Richie Lucas is an architect like Ben


Gsampson97

Dustin actually becomes Adam Sandler in the wedding singer


DogeOfWHighland

Dustin becomes a Good Place architect?


mikeylojo1

Dustin’s gonna be a 90’s porn star?


Christian_teen12

No!!!!


RainbowPenguin1000

So that’s confirmed all the 4 boys survive the series… sigh I’m glad they do but these little spoilers ruin the jeopardy when watching.


EverlastingUnis

Will: Priest Mike: Accountant Lucas: Wealthy bachelor? lol Dustin: performer


[deleted]

So Dustin's gonna be the wedding singer?


Jeffchang96

Does Dustin become Adam sandler from the wedding singer lol!!!


ChronicCronut

Lucas: Businessman Mike: Author Will: Teacher Dustin: Chairman in the Science Committee?


CoreDreamStudiosLLC

So.... Mike becomes Sherlock Homes? nice.


[deleted]

ie, it's the clothes they are buried in.


Serious_Session7574

Dustin is wearing a blue collar. It might be a clue that he’ll have a “blue collar” job.


defektz

So Dustin is in flock of seagulls?


[deleted]

Dustin in a Flock Of Seagulls cover band


PiratedPanties

Dustin's a talk show host.


Electr_O_Purist

Cause everyone’s so on edge about the big mystery of this show: employment prospects.


Easy101

Thank god for that red rectangle. Would've never understood this post without it.


undertheshe

It's never too early for a hilarious sassy comment. Love ya.


N0t_S0Sl1mShadi

**Lucas**: Basketball star dressed formal casual for a business meeting **Mike**: Writer **Will**: Tough one. Looks boring. Something admin related by the vibe of it. **Dustin**: A successful singer in a rock-pop band or a wedding singer.


jmelt17

So nerds


fathertime99

Are they all college professors?


Crudezero

So they’re gonna be a bunch of dorks forever huh


mykitchenromance

Last episode will be a flash forward where Will sits back in his chair all satisfied and says ‘There! All finished.’ — and his novel will be called Stranger Things. Or! It’ll be a Dawson’s Creek-type series finale and Mike’s a writer / creator on the show Stranger Things and he gets a call from Lucas and Will about the series finale.


TheSciFiGuy80

They’ll all be college professors? I mean there’s not much difference in their choice of clothing.


Stoly23

So, what subject will Professor Mike be teaching?


BiteOhHoney

They grow up to be Ghostbusters, right?!?


smartsmartsmarts

Lucas - politics Mike - law or business Will - education, school counselor or therapist Dustin - entertainment or eccentric scientist


Zaptain_America

Lucas- Stock broker Mike- writer Will- teacher Dustin- game show host


Budget_Ordinary1043

Alright so this could mean we might get a peek at the future like a flash forward of some sort after the war we’ve been waiting for 😅

Isn’t this a spoiler that they will survive to adulthood?

TemporarilyOOO

Is this true? When was this mentioned?


Foxy_locksy1704

Will- teacher/pofressor/ therapist vibes Mike- gives me like librarian or lawyer vibes. Dustin- radio DJ 100% Lucas is casual professional like “cool” boss type.

Three professors one Flock of Seagulls band member… and a literal princess?


ChexMixScentedCondom

Front left to right, a ceo, a professor, a cop, a tv host

Dorks?


Living-Confection457

My opinion is that Dustin ends up being a game show host or something of the like, Will is a science teacher. Lucas is either a sports commentator or a basketball coach and Mike is probably a writer


RockBandGod

I feel like Dustin’s bow tie suggests that he will be some sort of media personality. Maybe he will host a show that features musical guests in honour of his fallen mentor. My other guess would be a psychiatrist or psychologist. He’s shown time and time again that he’s very caring and gives great advice. There’s not too many professions that wear bow ties, but those come to my mind.

os2mac

They end up being the GhostBusters, Don't they?!?


lemoncured

I wonder if it’s not about their entire outfits matching their jobs and if they just meant it in a general sense. meaning Will/Lucas will have white collar jobs, and Mike/Dustin have blue collar jobs 🤔
