BusinessWorkplace: Doo-Peas Corporate Towers located in Sunset Valley
1. Coffee Courier - $27/hour Hours: 8am - 2pm Days Off: Sat, Sun Nobody ever looks to the Coffee Courier to orchestrate a multi-billion Simoleon corporate takeover, but that doesn't mean you can't impress the higher-ups when you're bringing them coffee. Don't forget the cream, sugar, or a smile!
2. Filing Clerk - $45/hour Hours: 8am - 2pm Days Off: Sat, Sun Put away the grinds and grab a manila folder. Deals, acquisitions, and stock grabs are being made left and right and someone has to keep a clean paper trail. Corporate has put a lot of stock in you... don't let them down!
3. Report Processor - $61/hour Hours: 8am - 2pm Days Off: Sat, Sun It's hard to act on just a hunch when billions of Simoleons are at stake. The board wants you to compile the reports and provide detailed analysis... by morning... every morning. It's a good time to get close to the boss, so that when a better position opens up your name is on the short list.
4. Corporate Drone - $74/hour Hours: 8am - 2pm Days Off: Sat, Sun After all this time you've finally been given a desk, four cubicle walls, and just a little space to personalize your area. Corporate Drones make the company propel forward akin to oarsmen on an ancient sailing vessel. Keep rowing towards middle management!
5. Department Head - $91/hour Hours: 8am - 3pm Days Off: Sat, Sun Halfway up the corporate ladder and the suits up top have provided you a few underlings. As a Department Head, it's important to stay popular with the corporate drones, but still keep the boss happy. Nice suit, by the way.
6. Division Manager - $114/hour Hours: 8am - 3pm Days Off: Sat, Sun Somebody thinks you're going places, specifically the head of the division. Sales, marketing, customer service, and manufacturing - all of them fall under the hefty chain of command that ends with you. It's best to add a few meetings to your to-do list, as they help an organization run smoothly and efficiently.
7. Vice President - $143/hour Hours: 8am - 3pm Days Off: Sat, Sun Stock options, benefits, accolades, and titles just keep coming! You've hit the upper rungs of corporate management as a Vice President, but the competition is stiff to become the next CEO. It's time to secure your place as a rising star and next in line of succession, so motivate and increase revenues to generate confidence in your leadership capabilities.
8. CEO - $254/hour Hours: 8am - 2pm Days Off: Sat, Sun, Wed The Chief Executive Officer is the most important person in a single business entity. The world looks pretty good from a corner office on the top floor, and nobody dares utter a single word during your long inspirational speeches. Enjoy the new office, but don't get too comfy. There's work to do and you're just the one to do it.
9. Chair Wo/man of the Board - $302/hour Hours: 8am - 2pm Days Off: Sat, Sun, Wed Not content with overseeing a single corporate entity, you have found yourself the newly elected Chairman of the Board. Thousands of stockholders spanning a few companies look to you for guidance, leadership, and dividends in the millions. But, you still answer to the stockholders and now is the time to supersede past milestones with even better corporate performance.
10. Power Broker - $331/hour Hours: 8am - 11am Days Off: Fri, Sat, Sun, Wed Employees revere you and competitors find you terrifying. Entire corporate empires rise and fall at your whim, spelling doom for the wrong players and financial glory for you and the companies you dominate. The days of the Power Broker entail long meetings and counting the stacks of Simoleons. The hard work had paid off, big time.

9. Cat Burglar - $225/hour Hours: 9pm - 1am Days Off: Mon, Wed, Thu The take from dozens of bank robberies do not compare to a single Cat Burglar operation. You’ll solo the biggest heists from now on. There shouldn’t be any security system too impenetrable, lasers too numerous, or guard dogs too alert. Get in, get out, get rich.
10. Master Thief - $565/hour Hours: 9pm - 1am Days Off: Mon, Wed, Thu The Organization has profited greatly from your efforts. Every major crime fighting organization flies you on their most wanted list, but you've left no trace behind. There is no job that cannot be done on this planet... or any other.

Ambitions ExpansionThe Ambitions expansion pack for the game added some new features to the Medical career track which your characters are free to explore.
Vaccination Clinics Vaccination Clinics take place at a random park. The Doctor is given four hours to vaccinate as many sims as possible, and is paid for each individual vaccination. A patient's reaction to the vaccination depends on their personality (cowardly sims scream and cry, while brave sims don't even flinch). Patients who show up but fail to get vaccinated receive a relationship drop with the Doctor.
Free Clinics Free Clinics operate very similarly to Vaccination Clinics. The Doctor has four hours to tend to as many patients as possible and is paid for each individual patient cured. Doctors use a wide array of gadgets and amusing healing techniques to cure patients.
Medical Outreach During medical outreach, the doctor is asked to visit a random workplace building or school. After staying for a few hours, the doctor is rewarded with additional career performance.
Local Emergencies Sims may also encounter emergencies outside of regular work hours. Sims dining out will be able to choke and they will need medical assistance.

MusicWorkplace: Wilsonoff Community Theatre in Sunset Valley
1. Fan - $21/hour Hours: 3pm - 11pm Days Off: Wed, Sun Before you can create, you must appreciate. The difference between devotee and Fan are miniscule, but it makes all the difference in the world when you’re later asked to join the band on tour. Work hard and act like you’re having a good time, and you just might get on the tour bus.
2. Roadie - $25/hour Hours: 3pm - 9:30pm Days Off: Wed, Sun The band is going to need their sandwiches and soda as soon as possible. Don’t forget to pick up their laundry, their lucky bandanas, or their significant others on your way to the show. The band is relying on you for these very “important” tasks—it’s best not to let them down.
3. Stagehand - $30/hour Hours: 4pm - 10pm Days Off: Wed, Sun Now that you’re on tour as a Stagehand, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with lighting equipment, sound boards, spare guitars, and most importantly, learn to do the microphone check. You’re one step closer to the band, yet still impossibly far away from the stage.
4. Band Manager - $48/hour Hours: 4pm - 9:30pm Days Off: Wed, Sun The band apparently trusts you enough to be the guiding hand behind the scenes. You’ll be instrumental in telling them what gigs to take, where to make their appearances, and what colors the t-shirts should come in. Make sure they like you, because even though you’re in charge, they still pay your salary.
5. Music Talent Scout - $57/hour Hours: 5pm - 10:30pm Days Off: Wed, Thu, Sun So, with the band having their typical drama, they need you to scout the local clubs for new talent. Who knows when they’ll need a new drummer, or bassist, or singer, or pianist, or spouse… or all of the above. Grab the guitar and start learning a few chords… you never know when you’ll need to jump on stage as a replacement.
Rock Branch
6. Lyricist - $97/hour Hours: 6pm - 11pm Days Off: Wed, Thu, Sun The band hopes your lyrics will move them from one-hit wonder to rock icons. The first album wasn’t bad, but the label says it’s now or never for the band to hit it big. Keep practicing your music skills and perform plenty of concerts so the fans can hear your best stuff.
7. Backup Vocalist - $126/hour Hours: 7pm - 12am Days Off: Wed, Thu, Sun Hopefully you’re a fan of your own lyrics, because you’re now going to start singing as a Backup Vocalist. The label thinks the band needs some sweet singing to round out their rough, darker side, so once again the welfare of the group falls on your hopefully able shoulders… or should we say vocal chords?
8. Lead Guitarist - $182/hour Hours: 8pm - 12:30am Days Off: Mon, Wed, Thu, Sun You’re a genius with a guitar, at least in the eyes of the band and your fans. Your solos speak to people in ways no lyrics ever could. Aspiring youth all attempt to learn your solos, and adults gleefully air guitar to your songs. The Rock n Roll lifestyle has begun!
9. Pop Icon - $286/hour Hours: 9pm - 1am Days Off: Mon, Wed, Thu, Sun No matter what your detractors might say, you are clearly and without any doubt, a Pop Icon. Everyone is humming your tunes, and listeners constantly request them from radio stations. Your music will define this generation and all that follow, yet it’s not even time for the encore.
10. Rock Star - Money is earned solely by doing concerts. Hours: Open Days Off: Open The most legendary concerts have your name on the ticket. The chart topping songs come from you. You’re a genius, a rebel, a Rock Star that knows nothing other than the rock, the roll, and all that comes with it. The record label hopes you’re loving the life, because they’re loving you.
Symphonic Branch
6. Quartet Member - $93/hour Hours: 3pm - 8:30pm Days Off: Wed, Thu, Sun As a member of the renowned quartet, you have been given the chance to really learn and grow as a musician. Handle the strings with deft fingers stay within the quartet members’ good graces, and hit all the right notes to progress in this grand concert career.
7. Orchestra Member - $111/hour Hours: 3pm - 8:30pm Days Off: Wed, Thu, Sun The Conductor noticed your quartet playing at a wedding and thinks you’re better suited to the orchestra. The position implies a greater access to more wondrous scores and concerts, but also more complex and taxing performances. It appears your career has begun an exciting crescendo.
8. Orchestra Lead - $144/hour Hours: 3pm - 8:30pm Days Off: Wed, Thu, Sun You’ve fought hard, and finally the glory, the solos, and the section are yours as First Chair. You are the conductor’s right hand, the one she most trusts to get the symphony perfect. It’s time to combine what you know of musicianship and logic to prove your grasp of musical theory is unsurpassed.
9. Conductor - $206/hour Hours: 3pm - 8pm Days Off: Wed, Thu, Sun There is an entire symphonic orchestra at the tip of your baton, just waiting for your cue to make musical masterpieces. Crowds silently wait with bated breath, just hoping to hear a once-in-a-lifetime performance. Don’t let them down, for that baton can be taken away just as easily as it was given.
10. Hit Movie Composer - $361/hour Hours: 1pm - 6pm Days Off: Wed, Thu, Sun Having conquered the orchestral stage, the label thinks your skills are better put to use composing delightful pieces for movies on the silver screen. As a Hit Movie Composer, you work takes top billing and brings in piles of Simoleons for the label. Quite the finish, one must say!

PoliticalWorkplace: City Hall in Sunset Valley
1. Podium Polisher - $24/hour Hours: 9am - 3pm Days Off: Sat, Sun There's nothing glorious about being a Podium Polisher. A little wax rubbed on, a little rubbed off. The podium needs to look good for those who actually make a difference and their dramatic speeches. But, polish well enough and keep the right attitude, and there may be room in the organization for you.
2. Ballot Counter - $31/hour Hours: 9am - 3pm Days Off: Sat, Sun Frequent elections require a steady cadre of reliable Ballot Counters to keep things honest and precise. You don't work for any particular party or organization... right? Keep your nose clean and do nothing more than count and report the data. Democracy is counting on you!
3. Campaign Intern - $33/hour Hours: 9am - 4pm Days Off: Sat, Sun Your diligence has been noticed and you'll work the remainder of the campaign as an intern. Copies, copies, copies! Post flyers, call potential donors, fetch coffee, keep the staplers in prime condition, and most importantly, be charismatic about it. This campaign, or at least the copy machine, cannot succeed without you!
4. Yes-Wo/man - $49/hour Hours: 9am - 3pm Days Off: Sat, Sun Hopefully you're ready to nod your head in affirmative, because you've worked your way into the position of Yes-Wo/man. Should the city vote on Bond 452 C? Yes! Should we elect a new police commissioner? Yes! There's only one answer to give if you want to stay in your superiors' good graces.
5. City Council Member - $69/hour Hours: 9am - 2:30pm Days Off: Tue, Sat, Sun Politician at last! As the newest City Council Member, you have the unique position of affecting change on the welfare of the city. Change takes time though, and re-elections cost money. You'll need to start working your neighbors, acquaintances, and random individuals for their campaign donations. Bring your walking shoes, Councilwo/man.
6. Local Representative - $91/hour Hours: 9am - 2:30pm Days Off: Tue, Sat, Sun Not satisfied to see you with your hands solely on the city, your constituents want to see you at the next level. More territory means more favor and votes needed to get anything done, and that means more campaign donations. Keep the cookie jar full, and you get to keep your job.
7. Mayor - $142/hour Hours: 9am - 2pm Days Off: Tue, Sat, Sun The legislative branch is all well and good, but the executive branch is really where the power lies. As the Mayor, you can now dictate terms to the city council you used to serve, and in the process, enact changes as you see fit. Rule with a firm fist or gentle touch, but never forget to keep your constituents happy.
8. Governor - $173/hour Hours: 9am - 2pm Days Off: Tue, Sat, Sun You've been pulled up to the regional acumen and adept maneuvering. The public claims to love you, but everything can change instantly with the signing of the wrong piece of legislation. Pick your battles and be wary of political opponents as the polls are really starting to heat up.
9. Vice-President - $279/hour Hours: 9am - 1:30pm Days Off: Tue, Thu, Sat, Sun Second in command may not be the end goal, but riding the ticket long enough just might earn you the coveted top spot. Mere local matters are beneath you now that economic concerns pile onto your desk. Evil organizations aren't making matters any better, as the safety and protection of the citizenry is a prime directive of your boss. The public watches silently to see if you truly have what it takes.
10. Leader of the Free World - $423/hour Hours: 9am - 1:30pm Days Off: Tue, Thu, Sat, Sun The world has voted you in as their sworn leader. Defender of the truth, justice, and basic Sim rights, you—the Leader of the Free World—must work for the people more than ever. Beware of agents of evil, corruption within your government, and those not willing to serve the people above all else. This is your chance to leave your mark on the world, and it’d be a fair shame to squander it with scandals and shoddy decisions.

Professional SportsWorkplace: Llama Memorial Stadium in Sunset Valley
1. Rabid Fan - $13/hour Hours: 3pm - 9pm Days Off: Fri, Sun Do you love “your” team? Honest? Can you prove it? There’s a big difference between the rain or shine, win or lose, die hard fans and the fair-weather jerks that enter the stadium when it’s convenient. Grin and bear the losses along with the wins, and the team will take care of you.
2. Snack Hawker - $25/hour Hours: 3pm - 9pm Days Off: Fri, Sun Peanuts! Popcorn! Hot meats! Hopefully your vocal chords can endure a bit of shouting, because as the Snack Hawker, you’ll be circumventing the stadium to peddle your delicious, often salty, and never healthy consumables daily.
3. Toddler Sports Coach - $33/hour Hours: 3pm - 9pm Days Off: Fri, Sun The players have unanimously picked you to lead their children to victory on the little league playing fields as the Toddler Sports Coach. You should study up on athletics so that you can guide the tiny tots to tip-top physical efficiency and reduce on-field injuries.
4. Minor Leaguer - $43/hour Hours: 3pm - 9pm Days Off: Wed, Thu, Sun The Minor Leaguers are calling, so pack your lucky socks and “never washed” shorts, and head to the playing field. It’s important to keep your teammates’ feelings in mind. Remember, there’s no “I” in “team”.
5. Rookie - $77/hour Hours: 3pm - 8pm Games: Sun & Wed 3pm - 6pm Days Off: Thu For once, you’ve shown you’re good enough to not be picked dead last. The rookie year is hard though, especially with the manager tracking statistics and holding your losses against you. Train hard to win games, or prepare to pack your bags back to the minor leagues.
6. Starter - $134/hour Hours: 3pm - 8pm Games: Sun & Wed 3pm - 6pm Days Off: Thu Time well spent on the bench and in practice has earned you a position on the starting line-up. Listen to the crowd roar as you hit the field! It sure beats the shouts of the players asking you for fresh towels. Play hard and your autograph might actually be worth something soon.
7. Team Captain - $201/hour Hours: 3pm - 8pm Games: Sun & Wed 3pm - 6pm Days Off: Thu It must feel nice now that the crowd is shouting instead of booing when your name is called over the loud speakers. Loved by fans for your clutch saves and by the coach for your team leadership, you’re really starting to play towards that hall of fame spot. Just don’t start losing and you’ll be okay.
8. League MVP - $241/hour Hours: 3pm - 8pm Games: Sun & Wed 3pm - 6pm Days Off: Thu The votes are in—the league thinks you’re the league MVP!

9. Superstar - $385/hour Hours: 3pm - 8pm Games: Sun & Wed 3pm - 6pm Days Off: Thu No longer content with a single sport, you’ve expanded your resume to include as many as your busy schedule allows. Few sports stars’ careers compare to yours, but then again, they aren’t Superstars. However, more games means more chances to lose, so don’t let the fame get in the way of your practice time.
10. Sports Legend - $462/hour Hours: 3pm - 6pm Games: Sun & Wed 3pm - 6pm Days Off: Thu Your on-field exploits and stats are the envy of every little leaguer, minor leaguer, and MVP that plays any sport. You’re a Sports Legend! Every time you step onto the field thousands of camera shutters erupt, because every play of yours will make international headlines. You’re at the top of the every game that’s been created, even some that haven’t.

ScienceWorkplace: Landgraab Industries Science Facility in Sunset Valley
1. Test Subject - $44/hour Hours: 9am - 6pm Days Off: Sat, Sun It's all for the good of science, at least that's what Test Subjects should constantly repeat to themselves. A little shock here, a potentially revolutionary serum there... it's all in a day's test tube. Try to stay in good spirits, because a bad mood skews the data.
2. Lab Tech - $53/hour Hours: 9am - 2:30pm Days Off: Sat, Sun Your commitment to the less than glamoorous side of science has garnered you a position as a Lab Tech. It's time to earn that lab coat and broaden your horizons. Beware of flammable materials, radioactive mutagens, and self-aware robotics as you progress deeper into the workings of the laboratory.
3. Useless Contraption Manipulator - $63/hour Hours: 9am - 2:30pm Days Off: Sat, Sun Not all departments of the science lab are profitable, or productive for that matter. Nevertheless, for every hundred duds and worthless whiz-bangs there's a hit that rocks the science community to its beaker encrusted core. You better improve your skills with a wrench, because you'll be up to your eyes with useless contraptions.
4. Fertilizer Analyst - $97/hour Hours: 9am - 2pm Days Off: Wed, Sat, Sun You probably don't want to know what that smell is. Fertilizer Analysts need to be ready for some hands-on time with some stinky stuff, because the best harvests come from great, horifically smelly fertilizers. Head outside to spend time in the garden... and don't forget to shower afterwards.
5. Carnivorous Plant Tender - $117/hour Hours: 8am - 2pm Days Off: Wed, Sat, Sun The pursuit of science is not always one of safety. The Carnivorous Plant Tender is very much in harm's way, but that's no excuse for sloppy data collection and analysis. Stay on the plants' good sides, and continue developing your scientific skills. Hopefully a more appetizing position will open up... idealy before you become too appetising yourself!
6. Aquatic Ecosystem Tweaker - $140/hour Hours: 9am - 2pm Days Off: Wed, Sat, Sun No body of water shall be safe from the latex glove of science!

8. Top Secret Researcher - $273/hour Hours: 9am - 1:30pm Days Off: Wed, Sat, Sun The Government has been closely following your career since your days as a Test Subject. They want you to head up their new program as a Top Secret Researcher. It's all very hush-hush, need to know. That sort of thing. All Simanity will benefit from this research... or so they claim.
9. Creature-Robot Crossbreeder - $316/hour Hours: 9am - 1:30pm Days Off: Wed, Thu, Sat, Sun The government is happy, and when they're happy it means new toys for the laboratory. You've been tasked to create a new species, specifically one that combines the best features of living organisms and... robots. Sharks or sea bass. It makes no difference. Just don't forget the lasers.
10. Mad Scientist - $481/hour Hours: 9am - 1:30pm Days Off: Wed, Thu, Sat, Sun Nobody really takes you as a sane individual, so the title Mad Scientist is apt. Tucked in the deepest, most secretive recesses of the laboratory, you've been tasked to create, destroy, restructure and innovate as you see fit. As the laboratory's best, you will define the future course of science for good... or evil.
