How To Excel At The Education Career (Make Your Sim the Perfect Employee)
The following attributes and traits are all helpful in tailoring your sim’s abilities to excel at the education career.
Useful Degrees
Degrees in both psychology and economics will allow your sim to start the career at a mid-level. Distinguished degrees raise the starting level even more and give your sim a generous starting bonus.
Helpful Traits
Genius (become focussed more frequently)
Outgoing (easier to increase charisma skill through social interactions)
Lot Traits
Convivial – easier to gain charisma skill when on the lot
Peace and Quiet – your sim will gain skills faster from reading Science Lair – makes increasing logic skill easier
There are no aspirations that require your sim to join the education career. However, the Academic aspiration (that’s also included in this pack) requires your sim to gain the research and debate skill and earn a degree. Therefore, by completing tasks for this aspiration your sim will earn satisfaction points as well as gain useful experience to prepare them for the education career.
How To Join the Education Career
Use the phone or computer to ‘Find a Job’. A menu will appear and you can select the education career option on the left hand side. If you don’t see that option and your sim is a university graduate in a relevant subject, then the career options may be under Professor or Administrator because they will be able to skip low levels of the career and join amidst one of the branches. Distinguished degrees will have even higher levels (starting at level 8 sometimes) than regular degrees.
Education Career Cheat
The cheat code for promotion in the education career is careers.promote education. Moredetailed instruction on using this cheat (for promotion and demotion) is provided in this post.
