 * Mailroom Clerk
 * Minimum wage, but you're on the ground floor of one of SimCity's mega-corps. Keep the copier and coffee machine in working order. Be organized, prompt, and friendly when you push the cart through the halls - maybe some sharp-eyed company officer will consider you for a kick upstairs.

 * 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 with 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 the hall to the washrooms. Good relationships with people to whom you've proven your superior logic skill will definitely get you noticed.

 * 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 be good if you expect to close deals, so a little more work in the body department might not be a bad idea.

 * 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 the neighbours might resent your success (Nothing a barbecue at your place wouldn't fix. And who knows, you might meet someone new...)

A Business Tycoon will eventually change careers and become an All-Star in the Pro Athlete career track.

The Sims 2
The Career reward object is the Execuputter. It is unlocked when a Sim reaches Executive, and raises Fun and Charisma. The description of the item is:

"Why should your Sim sit through boring business lunches when they can play golf instead? The Execuputter features imported synthetic imitation grass, along with simulated water and sand traps so that Sims can work on their swing while building charisma points - and hobnobbing with important business contacts."
