Description
Iv'e wondered what would happen if one of the ponies dislikedthe cutie mark they received. all the jobs would be mark
specific so they would have a hard time getting hired. this can
be applied to are life as well. stepping outside the norm and
accomplishing great tasks often comes with doubters and
pessimists. discrimination is wrong and if any of you are
having a problem of this nature you have the strength to
push through it.

What I wonder is if names are permanent, or perhaps after they gain their cutie mark, if they are allowed to change their name to fit, since most of the names match the cutie mark.

i'd bet she could be a famous bowling player. now my pony OC would be the one to have a hard time getting hired. My brother's?
His takes the gold medal for hardest to be hired.
(His pony OC is a murderer, mwaha)

Yeah. I've always thought of the whole Cutie Mark thing to be kind of demeaning.
I mean, there's only ONE thing that you'll ever be able to do? Just look at the CmCs, whenever they try and do ANYTHING other than what they'll ultimately get the Cutie Marks for (Applebloom: Zapapple harvesting, Belle: singing, and Scootaloo: scooter racing) the result is total and embarassing failure!
Now, think about that! How many things are YOU good at? I, myself, can draw, I can cook, I can do needlepoint, I can drive, I can build wooden shelves from scratch, I can sing...
See? And everyone reading this, you're probably good at a lot of different things, too.

It's not "only one thing that you'll ever be able to do", it's "one thing that you are best at, something that separates you from any other pony". They can still be very good at plenty of other things, but their cutie mark says "This is what you are freakin' awesome at doing."
So we're actually unfortunate not to have anything like a cutie mark. We can be good at a lot of things, but very few people will realize what they excel at. Most people will go through their entire lives, making their way doing something they are sort of good at, never realizing what it is that they would be truly great at.
The reason the CMCs constantly fail so badly is because they always try to do things that they have no idea how to do properly, and instead of learning before doing, they jump right in and hope it works out. It has nothing to do with cutie marks, it has to do with impatience.

well actually, a lot of people overlook this, but just because on the show its worded as being a "special talent" cutie marks arent nessecarily a talent. when Cheerilee explained hers, i realized that its actually a symbol of what t of they truly enjoy, possibly do with the rest there life.

Life is full of dissapointment. What you must know, is that when it comes to sports or players, having a specialty can make a better person out of you...

Well, it's generally considered to be a myth that you aee guaranteed to enjoy doing something you're good at, so this is a question work asking. Poor pony...

Cutie Marks aren't just about what you're good at, they're about who you are and what you truly want to do with your life.

I dunno. I think the whole point of a cutie mark is that it's for an activity that you wouldn't mind doing your whole life. If you don't, then you won't get a mark for it.
Destiny manifests very strongly in Equestria.

I agree, so in equestria this would never happen. + fancy pants is actually a nice guy who is kind to country ponies. o well we learn more from are failures then are successes. do you know of anyone who would be willing to proof read this type of thing?

Job hint: Professional Bowler .
There are ponies with some more general cutie marks, I suppose they have more job opportunities than those who have a very specific one.
But hint: Applejack got a job as a ehm, working pony in the cherry factory. So there are love and tolerance in the job market

ha, i guess fancy pants just needs to loosen up

This is why some ponies don't even bother getting cutie marks before college.
