I admit that over generations I use different ways to earn money (now I'm selling the artifacts I found in the jungle) but mostly I just send them to work.

My Families Via PlumTree App
Now that teens can live on their own, I like to start a teen out in a cheap apartment, picking up extra money with collectibles (the posters actually bring in good money) and freelancing with writing/painting/programming, hanging out at the library in Willow Creek or Windenburg to use their computers (I also have a computer lab in my Art & Science Center in Newcrest) or at one of my Arts Centers to use the easels (I did replace the easels at the Casbah Gallery with higher quality ones). It'll probably be a few generations till I play another gardening Sim, and I'll try to avoid the money tree -- my current family actually has too much money and I'm going to have to take away a bunch of it after I split the household.

Modeling Career?
Sometimes I'll go the retail or job/career route, but It's rare. I like the Science career, Painter, Culinary/Chef, Writing/Author, Tech Guru/eSport Gamer, Athletic/Body Builder and Astronaut jobs the most when they do have a career/job.
I have Seasons and have tried the Flower Arranging hobby to earn simoleans too and I absolutely loved it...at first. I adore gardening, but once I found out about the current extremely low splicing percentages, I'm a bit turned off from doing it for now. I sincerely hope the Devs consider raising splicing percentages in a future patch.
Recently, I decided to venture outside my comfort zone and start a Sim out the regular way with a job I've never played before and an aspiration I only completed once with my Super Sim. I even let her have the standard 20K to build a small house. *gasp* lol So far it's been fun, she's progressed to Level 8 - Spy Captain in the Diamond Agent branch of Secret Agent and is moving along slowly with her Renassaince aspiration.
I haven't totally abandoned hobbies for her though. She has a small greenhouse garden with just six plants, those needed to splice for Bird of Paradise & Orchids, plus a Growfruit tree for fertilizer. It's an experiment, of sorts, to see just how long it takes for those plants to produce the rare flowers.
She also paints because I'm thrilled we finally have a portable easel and wanted to check it out. I've limited her to only three paintings a day though and she can't sell them to earn simoleans as in the past. I also made a rule that she must rotate to paint one of each genre/size starting over once she's painted all of them.
They are currently being stored on a Generic lot in a studio I built just for her. Perhaps one day she'll sell them to move to a bigger lot, finance a retail shop or resturant, but more likely I'll have her use them as Holiday/Birthday/Moving Out gifts for friends and possibly future family members.
What I'm trying to do here, is limit how much simoleans my Sim acquires for a good length of time because it's been my experience I tend to abandon Sims when they get too rich. I want to play this Sim as long as possible before that happens. I love that we can give gifts now, especially simoleans through Seasons, that'll come in handy. I'd rather not just cheat the simoleans away, my Sims earned it, they should enjoy it and spread the wealth rather than it just disappearing like they never had it. They won't know the difference, but I will!
Happy Simming!
You can also set lot traits or start a club to increase painting skills.
Also start a garden on your lot and build up your gardening skill. Or getting a death flower any way you can. And fishing and getting an angelfish.
Keep painting and selling and (optional) pick up the “connections” and “entrepreneurial” reward trait with your sims. Make one sim focus on cooking/gourmet cooking and join the culinary career. Make the other sim join the scientist career.
With the culinary sim your goal is to complete the master chef aspiration and max out cooking and gourmet cooking. With the scientists your goal is to get the cloning machine.
Save up 1500 aspiration points with 1 sim and buy a potion of youth.
Once you have the master chef aspiration, level 10 gourmet cooking/ cooking, the cloning machine, a deathflower, angelfish, and potion of youth. Make ambrosia and clone it repeatedly. Sell the clone for $8000-$15000 until you are bored. Stick a couple on a shelf near the cloning machine to clone again when you need more money. They will last forever since you have the master chef reward.
Pick up the shrewd aspiration as soon as each sim has earned $200,000.
Now you can just do whatever you want and never have to work again.
That’s how I do it every time. Idk why it’s just what I gravitate to.
Although now that I've found custom careers I've been using those more and more.
