In my brain, it's Ferris who is the ad man, who is prized because he has an uncanny ability to understand how to market to "the kids," something that the founder of the ad firm, Holden Caulfield, also did very very well in his day
I’ve always been amazed there wasn’t a straight-up sequel because it’s right there on a plate: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Work. We have Ferris as a banker, Cameron is a quant, and Sloane is an ad exec. “Why don’t we have fun anymore?” Etc.
Good note. I mostly couldn’t figure out what job Sloane would have so I gave her the one that’s the least like work and would allow her to wear that sweet fringe jacket she had in the first movie.
Yeah, it's tough. She would have aged out of barista, so I'm guessing itinerant jewelry designer/maybe philanthropist.

I kinda like Ferris as a banker. Good midlife-crisis role. And Sloane is driving herself crazy and stressed out over something like the Palmolive account.
feels lkke the solution is that they all work for the same ad firm, where ferris has somehow risen to a company leader, and Sloan is middle management, and Cameron is in the finance department. Sloan has matured beyond the jacket, so part of the story is her reembracing the fun it represents.
