A Career chip is an implanted electronic device which denotes what job someone is required to do. 30th century citizens are analyzed for their particular suitability for a career path and chips are implanted into their hands. These chips can be scanned and the job information is displayed. Chips were implanted into cryogenically frozen individuals who were newly thawed by a Fate Assignment Officer. Turanga Leela worked as Philip J. Fry's Fate Assignment Officer in Space Pilot 3000.
