If You Have High Looks

Entertainment careers like Actor, Model, or Pop Star offer the highest potential earnings if you can reach the top levels, though they have more variance in success.

For Balanced Stats

Consider Writer, Journalist, or Social Media careers that don't heavily depend on a single stat but benefit from overall balance.

For Quick Money

Real Estate, App Developer, or Social Media can generate income quickly without extensive education requirements.

Strategic Considerations:

  • Always consider your character's stats when choosing a career path
  • Education investment pays off in professional careers
  • Entertainment careers have higher variability but higher ceiling
  • For legacy planning, stable careers provide more predictable wealth
  • Check job listings yearly for special high-paying opportunities
