Correct career choice? Although somehow, he made me think of Piter de Vries, from Dune :P
Other than that the combination is awesome ingame I can understand your doubts for carreer-choice ..
I can actually see Geiss talking some professional mushy hippie bullshit and then finish with something like "and now f**k off,
i don't care about you or your stupid sh*t .."
And this .. his namesake germanies low-tier celebrity .. he fits the profile quite well too :)

Edit : And I would looooooove to send him to a rimworld, like a lot of other celebs ..
There are some really nonsensical combos possible both for backgrounds and traits. I remember a colonist who was a vatgrown soldier (incapable of healing) turned glitterworld surgeon. I imagine it must've looked something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUMuZY5Bt34
Wow, that's awesome! I'd love to have Geiss join my colony! He'd recruit anyone we wanted, and for anyone we don't want... remove organs, butcher for meat/leather, and sell off the pieces. :D (Funny - colonists care if you sell a whole living person, but they don't mind if you do it in pieces.)
It's possible to have a Glitterworld Surgeon without the Medicine skill !

Nonsensical in more ways than one. I never understood what kind of fool creates an army of soldiers incapable of performing first aid. That would be
very quick and expensive way to lose
every war.

The same guy who designed the Stormtroopers presumably.
I think I've seen a combination of backgrounds that rendered a pawn incapable of doing anything at all, just flat 0s and -'s across the board.
In my opinion the game needs to rethink its approach to background combinations. Either each background should have a requirement (for example a person with disabled medicine can't become Glitterworld Surgeon), or make later background override the earlier one and err on the side of enabling skills rather than disabling them. So a vatgrown soldier might still become a glitterworld surgeon, and there might be a good story behind it, but he should be a surgeon with Medicine skill!!
The sensible option would be that if a background gives a bonus to a skill, that skill is always enabled.
