Despite a law degree making him the most educated regular character on the show, the arc of the series saw him lose jobs, take the wrong jobs, and generally ride a roller coaster of ups and downs through his career. Money is a regular source of drama for Marshall and Lily throughout their relationship and marriage on How I Met Your Mother.
The final season of How I Met Your Mother finds Marshall and Lily at a crossroads. Marshall gets offered a judgeship just as Lily gets the career opportunity of a lifetime to move their family to Italy for her to advise The Captain on art purchases. After much back and forth and a crisis of conscience, they move to Italy.
Marshall Eriksen is a fictional character on the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, portrayed by Jason Segel. Series co-creator Craig Thomas explained that he based Marshall and Lily on himself and his wife Rebecca.
The story of five friends sitting in their favorite booth at MacLaren’s, their lives unfolding in front of each other, How I Met Your Mother is heartwarming and hilarious at the same time. Some believe that HIMYM is Ted’s story. Others think that it is Marshall and Lily’s story.
Get ready to meet Marshall's other boss: Joe Lo Truglio. The Reno 911! alum will guest-star on How I Met Your Mother this season as the founding partner Honeywell of Marshall's law firm Honeywell and Cootes.
Marshall always wanted to be an Environmental Lawyer, but had to work at other places when he couldn't get a job at an Environmental Law Firm. He worked shortly at Nicholson, Hewitt & West. He later took a job at Goliath National Bank. He worked at GNB for a few years but quit in The Exploding Meatball Sub.
Odenkirk, who was last seen as Marshall's Goliath National Bank boss Arthur Hobbs in Season 6, will reappear in Episode 2 when his corporate lawyer pseudo-represents Barney in his pre-nup negotiations with Quinn.
Cootes left as well, leading to his name having been (poorly) taken off the company's logo, tending to his herb garden in his bomb shelter in Colorado.
By 2012, Deadline Hollywood reported that CBS, 20th Century Fox, and all regular cast members except Segel wanted to continue with a ninth season. Segel had initially wanted to focus on his film career, leaving the fate of a ninth season uncertain.
They dated and even got engaged but Lily called it off, moving to San Francisco to focus on her artistic interests. They were separated for three months due to this, finally getting back together a few months after Lily's return to New York, and getting re-engaged then married.
