Does the Talkative Rat help Training Professions?

I've reached the fatal level of 70 or more raw score to all my abilities, which prompts the question: if I equip the Talkative Rat before Time the Healer visits, will I get the stat boost for any ability thus reduced below 70? Since I'm getting paid in a couple of hours, the question takes on some urgency.

Nope, that won't work since the professions will only increase your base stats(just like any other action that increases those stats).

If you ditch your training profession and take up another one before using up your weekly payment, I'm pretty sure that you'll be able to claim your new salary immediately, which saves you wasting a week.

Peggy the Nowoman lived to see the Feast. Thank you for the memories, Snow Lady.
I'm happy to accept most social actions except for lethal sparring and loitering suspiciously. Please challenge my plant! Currently not accepting calling cards.

Ah, that works very well, Sestina. Even if I did fail the first check (at 97%).
And... I am now a journo. Who would like to be Rosalind Russell? (although, I confess it, I'm nothing like Carey Grant)

I believe (not 100% but, say, 80% confidence) the reward storylets simply accumulate until you choose to claim your rewards. So, in principle, if you are not in a hurry you could wait until you *do* have the card and have changed the profession and *then* accept your professional rewards.
