There are a lot of great careers in Sims 4, and the higher you get, the more you earn. But in my opinion it's not just about the daily wage. Don't forget the skills your Sim will inevitably hone while prepping - a writer will make royalties from books as they advance their writing - every day, not just days you work - and a Social Media person will make a fortune if they buy a drone and video themselves boosting skills. You're earning money by earning money!
Then there's becoming an artist. You paint. You sell. You earn fame. With high-quality paintings, you can decorate your house on the cheap!
On the other hand some of the gifts for promotions are great - the best computers are gifts for high promotions, which are ultimately sickeningly expensive to buy.
So, in your opinion, what's the best career?
Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.

On my blog (German) you'll find two completed vampire stories 🦇 and an ongoing ghost story 👻.
I'm also posting about my I'm surrounded by idi🤪ts! - challenge, in which I've now reached gen 9.
Thanks for stopping by! 👋
Due to the game's rating and the whole idea behind the Sims, we can't have severe, time-sensitive trauma/injuries, Sims dying if something isn't done, or chronic diseases, which takes all the realism out of the doctor career. It feels like it might as well be the "doctor's office" career; given all Sims who show up presenting illness are nothing more than minorly ill. I don't see why injuries can't be added to mix things up. Same with the police career and anything other than presumed robberies. Violent crime doesn't do well with the whole Sims series either.
But I've had tons of fun with the interrogations from the cop career.
And the acting career.
Interactive career wise I'd say Doctor. It's different every day. There's emergency cases. Great unlockable content. Scientist has probably even better unlockables, but I don't find that career too enjoyable to play through.
Owning a business yourself can be really fun too.

Looks like the Eco lifestyle is going to be great for your gardening career.
I also enjoyed the business career choosing the investor branch. They make a lot of money as an investor.
Lastly, my go to careers before University were Secret Agent and Astronaut careers. I enjoyed both career branches in each. Going to Uni really helps with getting a advanced level high paying career.
I don't care for the active careers because IMO they are very controlled, repetitious and mind numbing to me. I don't want to ask a coworker for a crystal when my Sim already has one in his pocket. It's mindless to me. When I played as a Scientist all I wanted to do is run around a collect things but the game as a different idea. That work space has a lot of collectibles. The lot is only available during work hours and does not allow time to go explore the area which I want to do as a player. This made the career really frustrating to me so I don't play active careers.
Writing books at level 10 and uploading videos is putting about S10,000 into my pocket every DAY because I've written so many by now. The daily wage is peanuts but it doesn't matter any more... The main downer is that it's not what you'd call a thrilling career.
