Career Day is the second Labor Day special of the Cartoon Network original series, Teen Titans Go!, following "Labor Day".
Plot[]
Another simple day of Cyborg, Beast Boy and the girls munching on pizzas in the living room, until Robin descends in via a hanging rope. After landing, he announces that this day is Career Day and hangs a banner, much to the other Titans' excitement. Not until Robin informs that this particular Career Day isn't a holiday; in opposite, it is being set up for people to dedicate entirely to the consideration of work and stops them from dancing before telling them that they might have to live on the streets after reaching adulthood. Worse, Robin believes that dreams don't pay the bills and rather allowing Raven to be a dancer, Starfire to be a friend to all of the cats and the two other boys being BFFS, he decides to assign them soul-crushing jobs by saying how he doesn't pursue his dream of being a basketball player (due to the competitiveness of the basketball field and not reaching the height requirement). Raven has to become a dentist, Starfire is being forced to become a civil engineer, and Cyborg and Beast Boy being CEOs of separate companies, and all four get pushed into the elevator by Robin who encourages them to do the job they hate.
First, it's Raven's "slow death". As a newbie dentist, she tries to learn how to detect any rotten tooth from her first patient with both of her hands. After detection, she tells the guy about the cavity he has, but quickly notices that he is dreadful of the drill, and she understands his fear. To distract herself, she starts musing that she is dancing with the teeth inside the guy's mouth after gazing at the drill for some time, and we then see a montage of her imagination, until she inadvertently knocks the guy's cavity out. She is apologetic for her mistake, but after the grateful guy generously hands her a handful of cash, she plots for a plan...by changing "general dentistry" into "dancing dentistry"! Dancing her way out with professional dancing skills, she earns a mountain of cash and revel in her success.
Up next is a "rat race" for Beast Boy and Cyborg. Both are confined in their mundane jobs of being businessmen who display statistics of their respective companies' profits; fan sales for Beast Boy and couch sales for Cyborg. After wrapping up their presentations, they both lament over their segregation through a sentimental song, before they decide to dial each other and after a few words on how business is ruthless enough to break up friendships, Beast Boy abruptly suggests that they should merge their companies by inventing the "fan couches"! After some promotions and mass manufacturing, their fan couches are being sold everywhere like hotcakes, earning them tons of income and letting them to live their dream of becoming best bros, literally presented by how their invention barge out of their building and the two flying towards the dawn.
The last challenge is the "early grave" for Starfire. She has to face the computer all day and as she sadly states, she can no longer play with Mrs Kitty for the cost of "engineering the civil". However, an idea is sparked off when she is designing a building; she begins adding more extra features for its design, hoping it'll be appealing...only to have her creativity to be rejected by human construction workers. Thanks to Mrs Kitty who playfully wears one of the construction hats, Starfire decisively hires a bunch of cats to build her skyscraper (due to her always being the crazy cat lover), and she finds their ability to land on feet and nine lives very useful. Within a quick montage, the skyscraper is finished in perfect shape with the dedicated assistance of the hired cats, and Starfire is overjoyed on how she is able on achieving both construction and cat-befriending at the same time, though she is oblivious to how her "whoop-whoop-whoop" is annoying to the exhausted cat workers.
Back at the tower, Robin asks the Titans for their Career Day reflections, and upon hearing that they have managed to combine their passions with their own occupations successfully, he realizes his mistake of denouncing his ambition and renounces his dream of becoming a basketball player, but his friends seem to have been affected by his previous cynicism and after they sharply point out his shortness and calling him unrealistic, he has his hopes diminished in the end.
