Added DiffLines:
{{Clerk}} is yet another chairs-y occupation trope (although not indexed as one) which is just "an old-fashioned clerical worker, especially in the fields of bookkeeping and correspondence," according to its description, lacking any narrative significance.

# MalevolentArchitecture: '''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM''': Instead of people, the entire population is made of robots that are [[FantasticCasteSystem rigidly divided into three castes]]: [[SuperSoldier Soldiers]], '''[[{{Clerk}} Secretaries]]''', and [[SlaveRace Slaves]]. In particular, the slaves are ''[[UnwillingRoboticization former people]]'' who are [[AndIMustScream incapable of rebellion]], because they have been [[{{Brainwashed}} brainwashed into eternal servitude]]...which is what they intend to do to you, and [[AssimilationPlot to everyone else on the planet]].
# RagsToRiches: Virtually every Creator/HoratioAlgerJr story ever written follows this same plot. Poor boy works hard, is virtuous, and is helped by a kindly older man, and he eventually makes his fortune, relatively speaking.
** In Alger's first book, ''Ragged Dick'', Dick is able to elevate himself from homeless bootblack to... entry-level {{Clerk}}. While the "riches" part may seem a bit underwhelming, there's no doubt he's better off at the end than the beginning.
# Characters.DiscworldOthers: (Rufus), Front to back, very clerk-y. It tends to shock people when he expresses interests in things other than filing. Vetinari once speculated that a woman would have to dress up as a manila envelope to catch his attentions. -- '''Not much of a useful context'''

# Creator.HoratioAlgerJr: ''Ragged Dick'' is the story of an orphaned bootblack living on the streets of New York, a flawed but basically good boy who has no long term plans. An older man who'd successfully lifted himself from poverty gives Dick advice, and shortly thereafter Dick's initiative and pluck earns him a small nest egg and some decent clothes.
