But it is never her explicitly stated day job. She is always called and called herself a security consultant.

Would she have to explain it? But honestly, what does it matter?

It does matter for the original point about the nature of the job offered by Gard.

I think since she wasn't specific, I think if much more of an assumption than fact. Another thing that says that it wasn't a Valkyrie job being offered, there is a finite number of them, it hasn't grown in several millennia. But if it makes her fans feel better to think that choosing the dead warriors and waiting on Odin and his Einherjan as a Vlkyrie, is better than being a Einherjan, have at it.. Murphy would make a good bar maid serving up mead.. ::)

And that is four. I do not think she will make a good barmaid. Not motivated.
I count at least four assumptions here. More if you take into consideration that Jim is not following the mythology literally here and that it is unlikely that Gard doubles as a barmaid.
