Opportunity

In The Sims 3, actions outside of work, such as schmoozing the boss or reading medical journals, can have an impact on a Sim's job performance. Opportunities can still cause you to lose your job, but may actually help you get a better job in another career track.

Also opportunities are not just available through work.
