New Career Suggestions!

Whilst I miss careers like medicine and law enforcement, I quite liked that they brought new careers to TS4.

It got me thinking about other careers that would be fun to try!

So far I've thought of: engineering, dentistry, landscaping (as opposed to gardening), meteorology (for when we get seasons :D my Sim would make an awesome weather girl!)

I've also seen some really good suggestions on other parts of these forums, so I can't take credit for them, but I'll post them here too!
- Veterinary medicine
- Finance
- Psychology

What other careers would you like to try?

    Office Admin, PI again-but this time let the PI go undercover in various careers (much like Sims 3's Secert Agent), a hair dresser?

    Contractor. With two paths: Electrical Engineer and Construction Professional. The paths would be the same for the first 6:

    Landscape Maintenance - needs to gain gardening skill
    Arborist - more gardening skill, perhaps up to 6
    Plumber's Intern - gaining handiness skill, repairing/upgrading a set number of plumbing appliances
    Kitchen Intern - gaining more Handiness skill, repairing/upgrading a set number of kitchen appliances
    Electrician's Intern - gaining more Handiness skill, repairing/upgrading a set number of electrical appliances
    Handyman's Intern - More handiness skill, creating a certain number of items on the bench

    Electrical Engineer then goes on:
    Electrician Student - More handiness, add on logic
    Assistant Electrician - Max handiness, continue logic
    Junior Electrician - Max logic, repair/upgrade number of appliances
    Master Electrician - Final reward should be something amazing and electric based, like a life-size "Newton's Cradle" that creates a holograph, used for fun that gives a focused mood.

    Construction Professional goes on:
    Handyman - More handiness, add on fitness
    Kitchen Designer - Max handiness, continue fitness
    General Contractor - Max Fitness, create/make number of items on bench
    Super-Builder - reward would be the Master's Bench...an enhanced handiman's bench that is used the same, but adds a confident mood.

    They should implement a fisherman than you can sell your different type of fish at the market, they should also implement a bus driver - have a bus route and pick up the kids before they are late for school, or taxi driver and they would have little green pulsating dots and you can drive there - however they would have to have an open world for this, which probably wont happen (to me that is sad as I loved this in the Sims 3)

    These are the careers that I would love to see come back in Sims 4: acting, firefighter, PI, medicine. I also would like to see a return of the celebrity system, but not a return of the paparazzi. They were so annoying!

    I would like to see the system from TS3 Ambitions return. Having your Sim manually travel to work and actually do work related to your job at the lot you were on was great. The most fun I had was the first run with the firefighting profession.

    They could expand that to law enforcement, medical, basically any kind of career that allows for decision making on the jobsite. Traditional jobs like office work, or things typically related to doing a single task can stay as the rabbit hole mechanic. That way larger families don't have to micromanage their Sims as much.
