I don't get the schoolhouse...

[remconius]

I put free colonists in a schoolhouse and he turns into a fishermen, happened twice now, and I dont need fishermen.

I am probably missing something stupid, but when do I get to pick his profession?

 

[KebraNoir]

Any specialist already in the colony when the student is assigned to the school will be a valid pick.

Im guessing the only specialist you have is a fisherman?

 

[Tonheuru]

Or you don't have any money. Fisherman is free, some other professions require money to train for.

 

[remconius]

I have 1700, most professions are 250 or 500. Statesmen, soldier, etc in the colony.

I never received an option to choose.

Where or when do you pick the profession?

 

[KebraNoir]

When the amount of turns to educate him runs out.

You cant train soldiers. Only professions working inside the colony (or in the fields) are valid.

if you hvae enough money you should be able to choose a statemen then.

 

[remconius]

So I should get a pop-up window?

It was getting late last nite, maybe I missed it...

 

[Polobo]

Yes you get a pop-up, with one of the free options defaulted.

Like the guys said, you won't get any choices for the student unless there are experts already working in that settlement. The idea is that he gets trained by one of the experts. If you mouse over the student when he is at the school it shows what his options will be on graduation and the cost if any.
