Pepper went on to attend Empire State University, less than two hour south from her hometown. While completing her degree in business, she worked many random jobs to keep herself busy. After graduating, she returned home & began working with her mom at her convenience store. But Pepper grew old of the quiet life & missed the city. Instead of returning to New York City, she ventured to Los Angeles & got a job in the finance department at Stark Industries.

She enjoyed living in the city & was determined to make her mark at the company. She got her chance when she discovered a finance error & demanded to personally speak with Tony Stark about it. Having saved the company a large amount of money, Stark promoted her to be his personal assistant. Her main job was keeping her boss on track in spite of his chaotic lifestyle by efficiently managing his business & personal affairs. There was a plus side to the job as she got to purchase art for him at exhibits but on the down side, she would also have to send his one night stands home the next morning. Though colleagues, the two of them became trusted friends.
