Learn enough about bricks, though, and you might just get to supervise other people doing it.

The Sims 3
In a Gamespot interview with Grant Rodiek, the new architecture career in The Sims 3: Ambitions was described as, "Architects will be hired by neighborhood sims to remodel their homes. For example, expecting parents may hire your sim to build a new baby room for them, or a sim who has just learned to paint may contract your sim to create an art studio. Before long your talented sim will have had a hand in many, if not all, of the homes in the town. We have dozens of different jobs based on story progression and your neighbors' desires--it's a very exciting feature."

On this career, the player can chose to do an amazing make over on his client house or fill their clients homes with broken and dirty toilets, or sabotage the home so that things won’t work.
