Both Bart and Lisa take the same test on possibilities in their vocational lives. Bart manages to use his devious nature to disrupt things. Lisa wants to be a blues saxophonist and is told by a teacher her fingers are too short. This destroys her ambitions. Bart has a case of conscience.
I don't need you to get me into the back of a police car
Bart and Lisa undergo psychological testing to predict their careers.
This is a very strong episode with some classic moments.
Lisa and Bart go through two great little arcs that contain some quite poignant observations on life and eventually merge for a heartwarming conclusion.
The humour is excellent, particularly in the moments when both characters are portrayed against type.
This is the eighteenth episode of the third season of the Simpsons and it's a very good episode and it asks the question, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" Of course, we will get to see the Simpsons answers in this episode. It's pretty funny and we get to see Lisa and Bart become the exact opposite of their usual characters.
In this episode, "Separate Vocations," Bart and Lisa take a career aptitude test at school and Lisa is destined to become a homemaker, thus ruining her music career and Bart is told he was going to be a police officer. Lisa is crushed by the result and becomes a rebellious person, while Bart gets better grades and even becomes hall monitor.
Overall, this is a fantastic episode and it was nice to see what Lisa's and Bart's characters would be like as the total opposite from what us viewers are used to seeing. So this ended up being an interesting episode. I rate this episode 9/10.
This USED to be a good episode back when it was first released. Sadly, since season 16 and in particular with the episode On A Clear Day I Can't See My Sister, this whole episode has been pretty much meaningless and forgotten about. That's a real problem I have (personally). You'd have thought in that episode Lisa would remember what Bart does in this episode, but I guess not, and the writers and producers of the episode On A Clear Day I Can't See My Sister just wants us all to forget about the episode Separate Vocations. Well, you... have got your wish. Congratulations. I'm so done with The Simpsons.
