It will be a [!] in the mail when your tama is about 5 or 6 years old. First the teacher will come and you will graduate, and then you'll get another [!] in the mail. When you open it, press B while your tama says 'away,' then use the A button to scroll through the jobs, and B to accept a job. You have to get three Os in order to be accepted. Once you have a job, go to the ♥ icon, select work, and press B while it says 'away.' You will then be at your job.
