And let me add a bit more on it:

- Speaking of injuries, since the children grow so fast, it is pointless to take one with a broken limb to the hospital as the bones would already concrete worngly. And since it's not a big deal anyway, it's simpler to just cut the ruined limb off, which is what they will do when they get the injured kid home.
- Speaking of setting, I think it happens after all the Angels are defeated, the war is over, everyone lives happily ever after. And the Eva pilots as savious of the world recieve a lot of money monthly so they never have to worry about bread earning, they have already earned it all by saving the humanity. They do keep going to school though (with freedom to skip it wherever they like) just for socialization and overall development, and while they don't need to work ever in their lives, they don't completly neglect such option, cause maybe they can find a job they enjoy, so they do it for the sake of enjoying it if not for money (at least Asuka, I imagine, is totally planning to find herself a job as she needs one to have a reason to live).
