Career

A Career Tribute, more commonly known as a Career, is a tribute who trains throughout their life to compete in the Hunger Games. They attend a special combat academy to be trained by victors until they're 18, when they volunteer. Careers come from the wealthier districts: 1, 2, and 4.These tributes volunteer to compete in the Games, causing much more commotion during the reaping than necessary. In the other districts and especially in the poorer ones such as districts 10, 11 and 12, becoming a volunteer tribute is viewed as sheer suicide. However, in Career districts, volunteering is very common, as everyone wants to win the Games, even if it means volunteering. Each year, the tributes from the Career Districts are hand picked by their mentors for being top of the classes in the academy's instead of having their names be picked out randomly in bowls like in the other districts. In wealthy districts, victors are regarded as heroes and amass great fame after winning the Games. In the movies, the Careers are very "chatty." Glimmer and Cato run around mocking tributes they are going to kill or have killed. This is in contrast to the novels, where the Career Tributes are generally more stealthy and menacing.
