Text-Based Job Advancement Game?

Hey all! Trying to find an old text-based DOS game. I played it in 2002, but downloaded it off some freeware/shareware/whatever site that I haven't been able to find since.
The basic premise (that I remember) is that you chose a job, and tried to get promotions...I don't remember how the promotions came about, but I do remember a few details:
There was an acting career, which included jobs as a gaffer and best boy. It's possible that was actual a separate director career or something. There were also careers for each branch of the military.
Sometimes, a random war would pop up which had some kind of effect...especially for those in the military of course.
The game seemed to be based in England, although I'm not sure now why I thought that. Spelling maybe? Or the military ranks were a bit different?
It could be multi-player...you chose how many players, named each one, etc.
I know that's not much to go off of...but any thoughts? LIke I said, I'm sure it was text-based and played on DOSbox (or something like it). It's NOT Executive Suite, I've played that one plenty of times.
Thanks!
