This is a sub-page of The Sims (Windows)/Translation Notes.

(Source: LUCPIX)



Mailroom Clerk
Minimum wage, but you're on the ground floor of one of Sim City's mega-corps. Keep the copier and coffee machine in working order. Be organized, prompt, and friendly when you push that cart through the halls--maybe some sharp-eyed company officer will consider you for a kick upstairs.
Executive Assistant
Longer hours, but an opportunity to work the phones, increase people skills, and keep the Boss happy. If you work on your mechanical skill, you might be able to repair that infernal copy machine the next time it breaks. Now THAT would make your boss notice you.
Field Sales Rep
Before you move up in the company, you'll have to earn your dues putting in a long day on the road. Meet your quotas (charisma can make a good sales pitch great) and make good contacts, and you'll be ripe for a promotion to an office without wheels.
Junior Executive
Now you have your own grunt to boot around, a personal cubicle, and a nice salary--but it's still a long walk down that hall to the washrooms. Good relationships with people to whom you've proven your superior logic skill will definitely get you noticed.
Executive
You have your own Junior Executive and an actual office, with a door that closes. Problem is, the Executive level at your company is heavily populated. Well-rounded skills and a good work attitude will help you stand out from the crowd and impress the higher ups.
Senior Manager
Salary hops up, as you are now overseeing several franchise offices. There are a lot of executives under your command, so charisma and logic help in settling disputes and keeping the various teams running smoothly. Your golf game needs to improve if you expect to close any deals from now on so a little more work in the body department would not be a bad idea.
Vice President
The corner office is yours. Pay takes another leap. However, competition is rougher on this floor. Keep sharpening those skills and make lots of friends. You never know when you'll need them.
President
The company sends a town car to pick you up in the morning. You get the top floor suite and a hefty paycheck. Your creative juices are flowing and you're feeling smart and powerful. But there's a downside as well. More stress, and some of your neighbors may resent your success. (Nothing a barbecue at your place wouldn't fix. And who knows, you might meet someone new...)
CEO
Top of the heap at your company. But can a powerful, well-to-do exec balance the responsibilities of the office with the needs of mate, children, and friends? Social responsibilities are peaking--it might be time to move up to a bigger house, to better entertain bigwigs.
Business Tycoon
You're a corporate raider and mogul, heading a world wide conglomerate. But now that you're a famous local figure, guess what? You'll be expected to give money to charities to maintain your standing with your fellow Sims. Still, doesn't it feel good to bask in the glow of success.

Entertainment career



Waitress
Waiter
You're available for auditions, but can still make your tips at night. Good people skills could get your picture and resume served along with the salad.
Extra
You're "atmosphere," "living scenery." The pay is pitiful, but at least you're on the set. No lines, though...and Central Casting can call you for the day shift or the night shift, depending on the production needs. Make sure you develop your charisma skill so that when that speaking part does come through, you'll be ready.
Bit Player
You're able to support yourself in your chosen career--barely. You've actually got a few lines to speak...ironically, they often seem to be, "May I take your order, sir?" Building relationships and your body is important now.
Stunt Double
That's not the box-office mega-star being set on fire and tossed from a helicopter--that's you. You're making a name for yourself, though, and directors like your novel ideas for mock mayhem. Keep those creative juices flowing. You just might graduate to a low-budget starring role of your own--if you survive. Keep yourself and your gear in top shape, or you may miss that air bag. And keep developing your active social life--not only is it fun, it's very useful.
B-Movie Star
Cheap sci-fi, lowbrow horror and teen hormone comedies--you're the star...even if your best work seems to go "straight to video". If you really want to make it big, you need a great body and some very convincing and creative dialogue. Lots of work needed on these skills from here on out.
Supporting Player
Your name's not on the poster, but at least it's a "major motion picture". You're the best friend, the villain's sidekick, or the cop who dies in the first half-hour. But, the studios have noticed you, and big things may be on the horizon. Keep practicing your lines and remember, it's not always what you know, it's who you know that counts.
TV Star
Your talent is acknowledged at last, and you're referred to as "Sim City's home-grown star". It's never been easier to throw a party at your place. You can afford a bigger house now, but the killer hours assure that you're not home as much as you'd like. Keep developing your charisma and body skills or you'll never get to the big screen.
Feature Star
You made it to the big screen. You're now making more money for fewer hours, but you may suddenly have to leave town for a distant location shoot. You're loving all the attention. Everyone wants to be your friend--but is that always a good thing? Sometimes you long for the spontaneous creativity and audience response of Broadway...
Broadway Star
It's a whole new world for a star of your magnitude. Live performances, six days a week, singing, dancing in Sim City's latest hit musical. Who knew it would be so physically demanding? But those cast parties are a great place to meet new friends, no? And you've never felt so creatively pumped up!
Superstar
Everywhere you go the paparazzi snap your picture.  They've just placed your star on the SimCity "Walk of Fame." And when the lights get too bright, you can always retreat to your mansion on the hill.

Law Enforcement career



Security Guard
A badge, a gun...and the graveyard shift. Since you're required to supply your own firearm and uniforms, it doesn't leave much in your pay envelope.
Cadet
You're going to the Police Academy, with a starting salary from the city burning a hole in your blues. Like a combination of boot camp and college, the experience can be physically and mentally draining. Improve your body skill so you can graduate and get a real job.
Patrolwoman
Patrolman
You're riding the mean streets of Sim City in a squad car--dangerous work without a lot of pay. Keep yourself in top physical condition and study up on your mechanical skills so you can be considered for a shield.
Desk Sergeant
A break from the mean streets, and a promotion with pay hike...but tons of paperwork. However, you're on regular hours with a reduction in physical demands. If you get tired of this desk job, improve those body and mechanical skills and you may be out on the street in a much more interesting job...
Vice Squad
You're attached to your first plainclothes job. Vice duty can be exciting, but your squad operates mostly at night. It's important to shine here, so you can be considered for detective training. Well-rounded skills, especially logic, will hasten that next promotion.
Detective
You get your shield and continue plainclothes work. Logic needs to be sharp and friends are very important. Charisma also comes into play, if suspects and informants are to help you close cases and step up the departmental ladder.
Lieutenant
Cases have a higher profile, and your experience has advanced you to a better pay rate. As a Lieutenant, you are a Detective Squad Leader, and you need to keep those skills sharpened. The stress of dealing with that thick unsolved folder of Sim City crimes can do damage to your home life. Try to emphasize "family time" and recreation when at home to achieve a proper balance.
SWAT Team Leader
An elite job with a good bonus in the form of "danger pay."  But you've got to be very smart and creative to be successful. Make sure you're making friends in high places.
SWAT Team Leader
You're finally "Top Cop". You can afford a substantial house on the hill and are one of the most influential people in Sim City. What more can you possibly do to protect the citizens of Sim City?
Captain Hero
Crime peoples beware! A new day has dawned on our most wonderful community. A day of righteous justice for all, for Captain Hero is here at last! With his massive superpowers at hand Captain Hero fights crime on a daily basis, to the fullest extent of the law.

Life of Crime career



Pickpocket
Entry-level two-bit thief--but you are your own boss. Dexterity and physical speed are obviously important. A certain amount of charm is helpful, too, if you are going to distract those marks while you dip into their pockets.
Bagman
You're a foot soldier for a small-time mobster--making pickups and deliveries of dirty cash and "sensitive merchandise." You'll need to be quick on your feet to avoid the heat and rival punks. Work on your body skill will definitely pay off.
Bookie
Make book on the dog track, horse races, and stadium games--where, one way or another, "the house" always wins. And this time "the house" is you. You never know when something may go wrong that requires some fast talking so keep those charisma and creativity skills sharp.
Con Artist
Run schemes, scams, and swindles--anything to separate a naïve Sim from hard-earned cash. Profits increase, but this job needs inspired thinking and the power to persuade others.
Getaway Driver
From two-bit crook to three-bit crook. To succeed as a driver you'll need some strong physical skills, and a mechanic's knowledge. But you want to get in on the main action, right? Work on your skills to show the boss how indispensable you are.
Bank Robber
Instead of just driving the money away, now you're inside the Sim City First National Bank when it goes down--which cuts you in for a bigger slice. But you'd like to try your hand at some sneakier, more challenging crimes. Better brains, brawn and buddies will move you up.
Cat Burglar
Higher scores, but more risk involved. Suddenly you're on the night shift. You cannot afford to let physical energy flag, or you'll botch a job. Mechanical skills are handy to keep your tools in good order and some creative problem solving will help you stay out of the slammer. Your friends are coming in very handy--more can only help.
Counterfeiter
You're getting more sophisticated. Why steal money when you and your gang can print your own? You're getting quite a reputation and people are seeking your advice. Better practice your charisma and creativity in case you need to go international.
Smuggler
Your business card says you're in the "Import/Export" business. Let's just say you supply everything people want that the law says they cannot have. You're bringing in and sending out goods by land, sea, and air, and earning the large profits all that implies. Your skills need to be fully honed to reach the apex of this illustrious career.
Criminal Mastermind
Most men fear you. You run your own mob of thieves and hijackers, and can buy any house on the block. Your front is a respectable Sim City business, and you feel almost above the law.

Medicine career



Medical Technician
Entry level, low paying grunt work in a big medical lab--but a way to test your aptitude and interest in exploring a doctor's world. Taking x-rays, logging samples, preparing test results are among your duties.
Paramedic
You're attending medical school and working part time as a paramedic. You'll need to avoid fatigue while allowing time for study and riding in an ambulance on the night shift. To keep your vehicle and equipment maintained, work on your mechanical skill as much as you can.
Nurse
You've made it through med school, and secured your first job at Sim City General Hospital. This is a physically demanding job and will require good body skill. Work on your bedside manner to get those patient referrals.
Intern
There's an "M.D." after your name, but it seems you spend more time doing paperwork and changing bandages than saving lives. Pay special care to develop your mechanical and logic skills; doctors must be multi-talented. The hours are steady, though, so you're earning more.
Resident
You've been promoted to a night shift residency in the Emergency Room. This is an obviously stressful position, so make sure home is a comforting place. You'll need fun, rest, and proper meals, or you won't succeed. If you work on the proper diagnoses, care for those tough cases, and develop a good bedside manner, your promotion to General Practitioner will come quickly.
GP
An altruistic streak has compelled you to join a Sim neighborhood clinic as a GP. The pay won't be high, but you'll help a lot of less fortunate Simcitizens through broken bones, pregnancies, and measles. You will be handling a lot yourself, but don't slack off on the skill-building--you may want a different job someday.
Specialist
Congratulations. You've "hung up your shingle", gaining a traditional work schedule and golf game occasionally. Now you have more time to maintain a happy home and maybe a happy family? Work on your charisma if higher steps in this career track seem appealing.
Surgeon
One of the elite, with an income advance to go with it. The job demands a rested, calm individual, so watch your emotional levels, eat right, and get plenty of sleep. And, you'll need home study time, especially in the areas of creativity and logic, to keep left brain skills sharp in the operating room.
Medical Researcher
You created a new vaccination serum in Sim City's most advanced research clinic. You've now joined the ranks of the highest paid researchers in the world. If you decide to go for the top bucks, continue the skill building path up to Chief of Hospital Staff, where you get a cut of the profits.
Chief of Hospital Staff
You are one of the most respected physicians in Sim City. You spend office hours at the hospital. You are now a part owner, and are making large profits keeping your fellow Sims in good health.

Military career



Recruit
Buzz cuts and boot camp. I don't know but I've been told, scrubbing latrines gets mighty old. Better maintain prime physical shape to advance from the trenches. Not only will you be stronger but your uniform will look even better on you than it does now.
Elite Forces
Special training as a commando brings you more prestige, and as an added incentive you will be earning special hazard pay. Physical skills are important so get your body pumped up and strong.
Drill Instructor
Now that you're an experienced vet, the base commander has "volunteered" you to impart your wisdom to a squad of green, malleable recruits. Charisma is important here, as you'll need to drill fear, loyalty, and discipline into those jar-heads.
Junior Officer
You finally gained entrance to the Officer's Club.  No resting on your laurels though, you must keep your body in top physical condition if you want to advance. 
Counter-Intelligence
Tracking the enemy with the latest equipment is your whole life right now. You know enough about the enemy strategy for them to really want to kill you--so you have to stay one step ahead of them for your sake and that of your troops. Work on your mechanical skill to keep those highly sensitive machines in top working order and logic skills to interpret all the data you're downloading.
Flight Officer
Somebody has to drop those troops, deliver that cargo, and guard the air space over Sim City. There's a pay grade advance here, but earning your wings will require additional training with a flight simulator program at the base. Mechanical skill is a must and logic is not far behind.
Senior Officer
You survived your Airborne tour and made it to "the brass". You're well respected and your counsel is often sought. More logic training will make you a better strategist and charisma will improve your speeches. Work on these if you want to move on to Commander.
Commander
Your great leadership accomplishments have brought you to the post of Commander. No more dodging bullets and crawling under barbed wire. But don't get all soft and flabby because it's been whispered that you're being considered as a potential candidate for astronaut. You'll have to show exceptional mechanical and body skills to get that honor.
Astronaut
One of the highest achievements for a military lifer like yourself. Fame and fortune climb with each mission into space, and you're in the best physical shape of your life. Keep working on your skills if you want to become one of the most influential people in the country.
General
Your logistical genius has earned you the rank of general, the top of the top brass. Your day is filled with government officials requesting your wise counsel and a book deal for your memoirs is looking good. Is your home life as successful as your professional life?

Politician career



Campaign Worker
The salary is minuscule, but you get your feet wet in the political puddle by helping a favorite local candidate into office. The job requires long hours managing telephone teams and volunteer groups canvassing neighborhoods for votes.
Intern
Start out running errands for the Sim City Controller and try to work your way up to getting lunch for the mayor. Low pay, long hours. You'll need lots of charisma to advance in politics.
Lobbyist
A special-interest group to influence local politicians hires you. Heavy social skills and lots of friends are needed to advance in this career--you must win friends and influence people. Charisma skill is essential to progress in a political career.
Campaign Manager
Salary jumps, but overtime work increases. You must still maintain neighborhood relationships and domestic tranquility. You need to cultivate your "image". Practice charisma and develop that all-important spin control. Without it, your political career is sunk. But friends in the right places can sometimes be very useful.
City Council Member
Your first elected post, finally admitted to Sim City's inner power circle. A well-paid job to be sure. The more persuasive and creative you are in pushing your own agenda through the council, the faster you will advance in the political machine.
State Assemblyman
The voters trust you enough to represent their fair city in the State Assembly. Fortunately, Sim City is the state capital, so you'll be close to home. A lot of creative thought will be needed in meeting with state officials to be sure Sim City's local interests are protected and promoted.
Congressman
The people have spoken once again, and elected you to Congress. You'll spend your time covering your district from your local office. Networking with neighbors and making new friends to keep political support must be balanced with maintaining a contented house and family.
Judge
You win a position on the Sim City Central Court. Your peerless logical skill at reading human nature and deconstructing legal arguments will prompt your success and continuing rise in status. Cultivate friends in your spare hours. Watch mood indicators and keep alert--you're supposed to be clear-headed and impartial when the gavel comes down.
Senator
You're authoring bills and chairing important subcommittees. You appear regularly on political talk shows and your influence is being felt around the Capitol. With a little more speaking experience and a few more friends, you may attain the most coveted Sim position: Mayor of SimCity!
Mayor
As Mayor of Sim City, you're entitled to big bucks--you can finally afford that "house on the hill" where the town's elite citizens cluster. You are a master at the political game and it's obvious you enjoy the fame as well as the excitement of shaking up the entrenched bureaucrats. It's great to be powerful, isn't it?

Pro Athlete career



Team Mascot
A young athlete has to start somewhere--even if it's sweating inside a cartoon animal suit. A very physical grunt job with lousy pay--but at least you can watch the game from up close. Besides water, the coach also expects you to prepare the players' snacks...a lot of snacks.
Minor Leaguer
A scout spotted you in a local pickup game and figured you had talent. Welcome to the "Llamas," Sim City's minor league team. Your starting pay isn't much, and you'll have a lot of training time to deal with. Develop your body skill so you can rise through the ranks.
Rookie
Advancing into the pros, you start out with the league minimum salary, which is the highest starting pay in the neighborhood. Keep working on your body and just hope an injury doesn't slow your advancement.
Starter
You've made it off the bench and into the starting line up. Some money's coming in, but long practices take their toll on your mood. It's essential to get your rest and keep your body in prime shape--this is your livelihood. And since you're going to be interviewed more now, work on that charisma skill so you can get noticed.
All-Star
You've become a household name in Sim City. You need to be comfortable speaking in front of a camera, not just playing in front of one. Improve your charisma and body and you'll be voted MVP in no time.
MVP
You're heading through the mid-point of your career. There is a special need to work on relationship skills here and present a positive image. If the fans love you, that fills the stadium--and that fills your pay envelope. Meanwhile, family and mate (and even your house) might need attention too.
Superstar
Major income, you've got those commercial endorsements, and you're at the top of your game. Your body works like a well-oiled machine but it's taking longer to recover from your injuries. How long can you remain "Number One?" It's probably a good time to start thinking about future opportunities, you may be retiring much sooner than you think.
Assistant Coach
You're retired from playing: a change both dreaded and welcome. But there's an opportunity to stay with the team you love--although this time you'll be carrying a play-book. Make sure you're still networking with friends because your relationships and creativity are going to get you further than your body skill can.
Coach
More prestige and a nicer paycheck, but longer work hours dealing with the media, game films, and the team's personal appearances. Thank goodness for those friends. They can help your career when you least expect it.
Hall of Famer
You are now a "living legend." The residents of SimCity shower you with a ticker tape parade, and your number is retired. The team gives you an office and salary as their "goodwill ambassador." This is as good as it gets!

Scientist career



Test Subject
While earning a science degree, you're picking up a mediocre salary as a "human guinea pig" at a local kinetics lab. It's a way to introduce yourself to the scientific community, but it's tough to be charming after several hours in a wind tunnel.
Lab Assistant
Cleaning rat cages, fixing delicate lab equipment for minimum wage--how's your mood today? A lot of logic-skill-building time is needed at home to advance. And guess what? You're on the graveyard shift. Work all night, sleep all day.
Field Researcher
This job takes you into the field, working on far-flung projects. However, your pay increases. Develop your charisma and logic and maybe you can actually teach about this stuff in the classroom, instead of doing it in remote, inhospitable places.
Science Teacher
No amount of field research could have prepared you for the naked savagery of teaching a high-school science class. (At least it's a job with regular hours.) A creative approach with the kids can sometimes yield positive results, and more logic skill might aid you in getting a different job.
Project Leader
It is up to you to manage a team of researchers in the quest for an important scientific breakthrough. Creative inspiration is absolutely necessary and mechanical know-how doesn't hurt either. If you really shine here, you may be on your way to becoming an inventor.
Inventor
Income has climbed, but to succeed as an inventor you'll need to put in long hard hours at the lab. Maintaining your home relationships may be harder now--there will be little time for socializing as you create the auto-recycling newspaper.
Scholar
You have been named Chairman of the Science Department at Sim University. The regents are depending on your leadership and logical thinking to invigorate the school's science curriculum. This is a high-paying, well-respected position with good hours and more time at home, but it takes a well-rounded skill set to guarantee success and promotion.
Top Secret Researcher
Your expertise with auto-recycling has led to a position on a highly classified, very demanding government project. The money is excellent, but you may be called to the lab at anytime. Special care should be taken to stay happy and rested--a tired, cranky scientist might pose a security risk. If exceptional creativity is demonstrated, a promotion to theorist may be in the cards.
Theorist
The accolades from your research have earned you the highly paid position of theorist. You enjoy a higher salary-to-work-hours ratio than the one you had as an inventor. You must work hard to keep a high state of happiness and health. And only a successful theory can lead to the status and rewards you seek.
Mad Scientist
With lecture fees and book advances, you're able to purchase the big house on the hill. The big question is, what experiments you will you be conducting in it's big cellar?

X-Treme career



Daredevil
You've turned a bar bet into the foundation of an extreme career. In short, you'll try anything--the crazier the better. Swim under the surface of a frozen lake, leap between rooftops with a bicycle, beat a train to a crossing, juggle a chainsaw while whistling "Dixie". Your work day is short, but intense.
Bungee Jump Instructor
The salary stinks--but who ever thought you'd get paid to do this? Body skills are critical here; nutrition and fatigue must be carefully monitored at home. You might invest in home gym equipment as well, to keep in the best shape possible.
Whitewater Guide
You're in charge of the rafts bobbing down the river in Sim Canyon. Hope your body skills are sufficient--to advance here, your paying riders need to have confidence in your strength. Never know when you might have some boat repairs to do, so mechanical aptitude is a plus.
Xtreme Circuit Pro
Snowboards in winter, mountain bikes in spring, kayaks in summer, and skateboards in fall--you have entered the year-round pro circuit. Strategies for winning can be helped by developing your logic skill. Since you're burning mega-calories, learning a few cooking tricks is a good idea too.
Bush Pilot
Piloting that antique plane of yours demands some serious mechanical skills if you're going to safely dive through dense cloud cover and land on dangerous terrain. And you'd better be in great physical condition in case you can't get out the same way you got in. Of course, the danger does yield high pay.
Mountain Climber
You've become a renowned climber of unscaled peaks, and there's lots of cash to be made by filming your expeditions for television. Mechanical and creativity skills will be important--a failure in your ascent gear or strategy could be devastating.
Photojournalist
Creative skills will help you here. Work time is divided between taking photos and writing articles at the Sim Times newspaper office. You need to make sure you allow enough time to write without social distractions, in order to meet deadlines and collect a nice fat fee. Maybe you should practice charisma. Who knows when you may be called upon to narrate your photos?
Treasure Hunter
You've moved on to salvaging wrecks off the Sim City coastline. You need friends in the right places to secure all those permits. Hone that creative talent to get an edge in the search.
Grand Prix Driver
Your latest job involves laying rubber on Sim City's racetracks. It is important that you leave home in a good mood, with high spirits--you'll drive your best race that way. Playing an Electronic Arts racing game on your home computer might sharpen your reflexes too.
International Spy
You've become a "secret agent" on assignment for your government in Sim City. To survive in this highly lucrative business, you must keep yourself in top mental and physical condition. Spies are also quite irresistible--which can cause a lot of problems with your mate.

After minutes of serious soul-searching you finally decide to go straight. Your second cousin lands you a legitimate position at a major insurance company. The previous experience you've had with "collections" could be quite useful here. You are now a "real" businessman.
The daily grind of hospital management is sucking the life out of you. After daydreaming of bold new challenges you finally decide to take action. You resign from your post and start a new career in science. Your previous medical experience allows you to start at the advanced position of Inventor.
Military downsizing has forced you into an early retirement. You don't really enjoy fishing so you find a job in law enforcement as a SWAT Team Leader. Your in-depth knowledge of strategy and tactics should serve you well here.
A mysterious scandal forces you to resign from office. However, your well-developed people skills allow you to land a job as an intern at the local hospital. A new career in medicine awaits.
Rather than retire and fade away into sports history you decide to take up a new challenge. Mountain climbing should do the trick. You are now in the X-treme career.
The secret formula you developed (and drank) today at the lab had some unintended side effects. Along with a rather maniacal laugh you now have become a criminal.
Duty calls. The military is in dire need of a counter-intelligence officer of your caliber. Your transfer to the military will be effective immediately.
