Sims 3 astronaut career

This Sims 3 Guide was originally written for the PC and Mac versions of the game, but also will help owners of the console versions - PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. Please remember some info or numbers may have changed.

This is a full list of all career paths in the Sims 3. here you'll find information on the work schedules of the level 10 careers in the game. Also, I'll do the math to show what the hourly pay rate comes to when your Sim makes it to work every day in a week. Keep in mind that these figures are for Sims who have never received a raise. With enough rhaises, your Sims can get much better salaries than the base rate. Your Sim will also earn raises when they're in a top level position, so there's a reason keep those job performance meters up even when they're reached level 10!

Also, I'll list the skill requirements of each career. You should be aware that in some careers, certain job requirements, most notably co-workers and boss, may disappear as a requirement. For skills, this is not usually the case however. Still, if you want your Sim to rise quickly, getting to know the boss and co-workers will get them there faster on jobs that require it.

Work Schedule: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9AM to 2PM
Salary (Weekly Base Pay at Level 10): 0 an hour. 20 Hours/week = 9600
Career Track Skill and Social Requirements: Mood, Logic, Research
Job Special Abilities: Determine Baby's Gender
Career Info: As you can see, this is clearly not a difficult career path to pursue. The ability to determine a baby's gender (use it on a pregnant Sim) is neat, but will see limited use. What this career track lacks in special abilities it makes up for in sheer volume of money. It offers a very nice hourly wage.

Work Schedule: Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from 1PM to 6PM
Salary (Weekly Base Pay at Level 10): 1 an hour. 20 Hours/week = 7220
Career Track Skill and Social Requirements: Guitar, Logic, Mood and Orchestra Members or Band Members
Job Special Abilities: Hold Autograph Session
Career Info: This one shouldn't be too hard. Work on guitar only until around level 6, then work on getting some Logic skill. Hit Movie Composers in the Sims 3 can hold autograph sessions.

Holding Autograph Sessions will send your town outside a store, where they will sign autographs. People will come up to your famous Sim to get photos signed, and your Sim will make about 0 per photo. Also, bonus money is earned from the shopkeeper if Sims happen to visit the place of business where you hold the session. Signing autographs is a cool way for Hit Movie Composers to make a little side money.

Work Schedule: No days, Holds optional Concerts instead (3PM to 11PM)
Salary (Weekly Base Pay at Level 10): Varies
Career Track Skill and Social Requirements: Guitar, Mood, Band Members, Performances
Job Special Abilities: Hold Concert, Autograph Session
Career Info: Like the Hit Movie Composer above, Rock Stars are able to hold Autograph Sessions for some money, as they're famous Sims. A Rock Star has no set schedule, but must schedule concerts at the theatre between the hours of 3PM and 11PM. Ideally, they can perform four concerts in a day. The ability to hold autograph sessions helps make up for the intitally (comparatively) low money of concerts. Completing guitar challenges will help your Sim to make money when playing concerts.

Work Schedule: Mondays, 7AM to 1AM
Salary (Weekly Base Pay at Level 10): $334 an hour. 18 Hours/week = 6012
Career Track Skill and Social Requirements: Athletic, Handiness, Mood, Boss
Job Special Abilities:
Career Info: Raising an astronaut is not too hard. They only require two skills and a boss relationship to advance. Your Sim will need to spend a good bit of time studying to raise handiness and athletics simultaneously, starting at level 3. This is an interesting top level career. Rather than generals, Astronauts are now the top dogs of the Sims 3 military career track. They only work one day per week, as you can see. This is an interesting career choice for Sims that can make money doing something else on the side, such as playing guitar, collecting or just partying every day they're off duty. The lack of any special abilities makes the one day a week work schedule the only real perk here.
