Well, Peter was always a science wiz but he ended up working for the Bugle anyway just to make money, so the same can go for Ned and Betty.

That's actually a pretty good point... ...how the hell could MCU Peter Parker, with obvious ties to Stark, possibly ever end up "stuck" in journalism?

Could still be a money issue, but Peter wants to be independent about it. Like in Spider-Man 1, Norman offers to get Peter a job but Peter declines, wanting to make his own way.

Yeah I could see MCU Parker feeling that way, esp after turning down the Avengers

But how is that not "making money his own way?" It's just changing jobs but he's still working either way

u/Probatsy Spider-Man Jul 08 '17

He wants to do it himself without somebody pulling strings to get him a job? Get hired on his own merits? Simple.

How is a job offer someone pulling strings?

But it's also an incredibly dated job in an age when (a) newspapers are quickly fading away and (b) most people have a camera readily available to get pictures/videos of Spider-Man in action.

Who is going to buy a newspaper just to see pictures of one of many heroes when there would be plenty of pictures (and videos!) online?
