Basically, you can look at the newspaper (or use a computer) to find a job. There's a bunch of different career tracks, all of which have ten levels.
Basically, different careers have different benefits. The Slacker career, for example, has pretty short hours and doesn't drain your needs much, but they don't get paid much even when they've gotten to the tenth job in that career.
Music, on the other hand, may sap your needs a lot, but at the top tier you get paid loads of cash.
It's important to send your sims off to work with their needs/mood as high as possible to make sure they have the highest chance of being promoted - and for that you also need to increase your skills to whatever level is required, as well as have the number of family friends required.
There are also rewards unlocked around the 8th or 9th level, like Science getting a lab that can be used to cure sick sims, or Occult getting a phone that you can use to call somebody back from the dead.
And chance cards are things that give you a choice. One will give you a benefit, usually a bonus + instant promotion, the other will either result in you getting fired (if you're at the lowest level, I think) or demoted. Plus your dude's all depressed when he gets home.
Also this is my thread so I'm gonna talk about Warren Zevon for a second
Mr. Bad Example is a great song
I started as an alter boy, working at the church
Learning all my holy moves, doing some research
Which led me to a cash box, labeled "Children's Fund"
I'd leave the change, and tuck the bills inside my cummerbund
I got a part-time job at my father's carpet store
Laying tackless stripping, and housewives by the score
I loaded up their furniture, and took it to Spokane
And auctioned off every last naugahyde divan
I'm very well aquainted with the seven deadly sins
I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in
I'm proud to be a glutton, and I don't have time for sloth
I'm greedy, and I'm angry, and I don't care who I cross
I'm Mr. Bad Example, intruder in the dirt
I like to have a good time, and I don't care who gets hurt
I'm Mr. Bad Example, take a look at me
I'll live to be a hundred, and go down in infamy
Of course I went to law school and took a law degree
And counseled all my clients to plead insanity
Then worked in hair replacement, swindling the bald
Where very few are chosen, and fewer still are called
Then on to Monte Carlo to play chemin de fer
I threw away the fortune I made transplanting hair
I put my last few francs down on a prostitute
Who took me up to her room to perform the flag salute
Whereupon I stole her passport and her wig
And headed for the airport and the midnight flight, you dig?
And fourteen hours later I was down in Adelaide
Looking through the want ads sipping Fosters in the shade
I opened up an agency somewhere down the line
To hire aboriginals to work the opal mines
But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut
And whisked away their workman's comp and pauperized the lot
I'm Mr. Bad Example, intruder in the dirt
I like to have a good time, and I don't care who gets hurt
I'm Mr. Bad Example, take a look at me
I'll live to be a hundred and go down in infamy
I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air
And landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear
I'm thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals
I'll see you in the next life, wake me up for meals

every time I play a house I get a chance card
and whatever I choose on that card ends up getting you dudes fired
Lord Dave's reaction was pretty funny, though
do you choose the job for them or is it assigned?

I mean, unless there's makeup sex or something afterward.
Edit: Also, I feel I should mention that I do, in fact, use pomade in my hair.
Dapper Dan or Fop?
Mr. Bad Example is a great song
But you can be sure as shit I don't use Fop.
Defenestrator is intrigued by Tossrock's suggestion that he put a party hat up his butt.
Looks like Lil' Filler found his dad's acid!
Oh god the teeth!
I was looking at the pictures and this guy just stuck out for me. He has a face that really says 'I like children.' I guess he's related to Tossrock?
Jeez WaM what is with your boner for musical instruments? Bass, piano, and now violin?
I don't know what Tossrock is doing there but I'm pretty sure it's illegal.
Meanwhile, Lord Dave molests Filler.
Only because Defenestrator asked him to, though. "Oh ho ho ho, child abuse!"
Toss, shouldn't you take your glasses off for that?
Toss just realized he is a tiny speck in a gigantic fucking cosmos.
WHOA BETTER WATCH OUT THE WAM CLOUD'S A COMIN'
"WaM, if you're gonna mercykill me please don't toy with me."
Lord Dave should stick to playing WoW, apparently.
WaM, where do you think you're going? WOMEN SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE!
Oh, an Art Gallery. "HA HA HA THIS POT IS HILARIOUS!"
THIS ONE IS EVEN FUNNIER HOLY SHIT!
Now she has the munchies.
AWM NOM NOM NOM NOM
I guess WaM doesn't like me, but she was also apparently pointing at me. I guess she was going "You know who I don't like? THAT GUY!"
WaM meets a witch!
It's the battle of the terrible facial expressions!
What the fuck, satans! Those were WaM's chips! She was gonna finish those!
Lord Dave works in construction, or for the Village People.
And Tossrock is sick! Perhaps from using that toilet.
YOUR ODIOUS VAPORS WILL CLEANSE MY IMPERFECT SOUL, OH TOILET.
WaM is back and is just so excited to have gone out!
As Toss cleans the toilet, Defenestrator shyly thinks of how much he likes his ass.
Random lady says "Hey LD, what's up? How'd your day at work go?"
GUESS WHO JUST GOT FIRED?
THIS GUY
Frighteneddance, a new variant of angrydance that is sweeping the simnation.
Dee Kae, Bel, and TiB come to visit.
TOSSROCK STOP TRYING TO CORNHOLE MY KID
Am I trying to cornhole your kid... Or is your kid trying to cornhole me? Think about that.
WaM, what the hell! Have you no sense of decency?
And now they're just making child rape jokes. "What's the difference between jelly and jam? I can't jelly my dick into Filler's lips!"
Also, please note that Toss cleaned that toilet barely four hours ago and it's already a filthy mess. I think we need to call the ghostbusters.
"Jokes about raping my child are okay but jokes about raping me are UNACCEPTABLE."
TiB thinks Defenestrator's got it goin' on.
Meanwhile, Defenestrator decides that he'd retaliate against WaM's showing off. "Let's see how people like my flaming dice!"
This picture just says "Aww hail no!"
Toss absorbs more of the holy vapors.
Way to go, Pip.
WaM vs. TiB. Who will win Defenestrator's heart?
Lord Dave is happy again!
"You know Defenestrator, you is a fine-ass piece."
"Bitch I know that already."
Pip is so happy when he sleeps!
Richard Nixon?
Where are Pip's hands? that would explain his look of orgasmic joy
Lord Dave getting fired was spectacular.
Stop letting my wife hit on you!
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Ahahahahahhaaj
I love making ghosts out of giant Eye for head, Nose through Back of Head, and invisible guy.
3 of them have gotten fired!
Life imitating art imitating life or something
His expression made me laugh far more than I should have. He just looks like some wannabe gangster/rapper or something.
oh well I still will
sit tight, peoples
