Modifying Kerbal careers?

[Erzengel]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to change a Kerbal's career from Scientist to Pilot, etc?

I went into my SFS and did a replace all "Male" with "Female", and while most Kerbals worked fine, apparently a female Jebidiah decided to become a scientist instead of pilot. I looked through the Kerbals in the SFS and I don't see anything that specifies their type. Does anyone know of any way to edit this, either with an Add On or directly in a save someplace?

The only way I've found is to change the names until you get a name that gets the career you want. I like to change the first letter of the last name. I had Ferman, Berman, Yerman, even a Pferman when things got really rough.

The Ship Manifest mod kludges around this the best way a mod can and allows you do automatically set the professions in-game

This is still tied to the name? Come on!

Oh, it's name based? That explains why I couldn't find it. It's also too bad that's the route they went with, but OK. Thank you for explaining!
