| Education Career Levels | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1) Playground Monitor | |||
| While you won't exactly be molding the minds of tomorrow, at least you can control them on the playground. The kids are a pain and the hours are early, but at least the pay is half-way decent. |  0

| 4) Junior High School Teacher | |||
| Finally, you can come in a bit later and the kids are more mature, but you're still a glorified baby sitter with a salary to match. Union leaders are watching you now, so put on your thinking cap, play along with their so-called "educational reform," and you'll go far. | 1

| The last teacher in your position quit in disgust…can you take the heat? Know-it-all teens can be a "challenge," when they aren't ditching class that is, and you'll be forced to teach everything from algebra to art classes, so be prepared. | 1

The Sims 3
- This section is in need of additional information. You can help The Sims Wiki by expanding this section.
The Education career is the only new career in The Sims 3: Ambitions that follows the old career track format. To advance in education, Sims must build both charisma and logic. At higher levels, teachers will also be expected to hold lectures, which will earn them extra cash. At level 10, Sims unlock the ability "Give Amazing Lecture", which gives all who listen a positive moodlet. They also get $541/hour. This is the only career without an associated Lifetime Wish.
