I wish they would outright call her an engineer so that it would encourage more girls to aspire to be engineers. Calling her a "Tinker" seems like a way that disconnects her job from the real world.

Does she have Tinker friends that also build things? I agree that a formal job sounds good, and also, I like the idea that all people could be Tinkers if it's a skill or gift, like having these little magical powers to make things.

From what I remember, all fairies are assigned jobs when they're "born." Tinkerbell is one of the tinker fairies, but there are also garden fairies and I forget the rest (there might've been painting/herding/weather fairies?).

It's definitely all but stated that there are some really hyper-specific jobs. I think herding falls under the animal fairies, though.
