| Musician Career Levels | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1) Subway Musician | |||
| Simoleons are sparse and the looks from passers-by are harsh, but the hours are great. Plus, isn't contributing music to SimCitizens' commutes a community service? |  0

| 2) Piano Tuner | |||
| Keeping everyone else in tune is a good ground-floor "in" for the music industry. Longer hours, but the work is still relatively easy, though it requires a good ear and plenty of listening. | 0

| 3) Wedding Singer | |||
| So much for EVER getting a weekend off - you're the best wedding show in town now, and always busy. The pay is a bit better, and you have to start being more creative, too, but you'll get to hob-nob with the rich and famous while they sip their champagne. | 0

| 5) High School Band Teacher | |||
| Squeaky trumpets, whiny violins, off-tempo timpani, and a constantly ticking metronome are the burdens of your trade now, but the hours are the same as all the school-age kids. | 0

| 6) Roadie | |||
| Time spent tolerating the high-school crowd was worth it - you are now cool enough to take your act on the road - setting up someone else's gear. Long hours are exhausting, but you're having fun and making the right contacts. You will need plenty of body skills, but maybe something cushy will present itself soon. | 0

| 7) Backup Musician | |||
| Spending time on the road pays off - occasionally, someone in the band you cover quits, and you get to fill in for the remainder of the tour! Dress casual, practice often, play hard, have fun, and start to make a name for yourself. | 0

| 8) Studio Musician | |||
| Rest for the road-weary: you get to play back-up on album cuts in the studio now. Spending time around all these recording label producers and executives is bound to pay off, if you play your cards right. Make sure you schmooze all the right people in addition to delivering a perfect performance every day. | 0

| 9) Rock Star | |||
| Fame, fortune, tours, parties, and a number-one album! Congrats, you're now living every teenager's dream. Sleep is a rarity, power lunches are common, shades are almost mandatory outside your own home, and people mob you for autographs almost everywhere you go. Enjoy it! | 0

| 10) Celebrity Activist | |||
| With all the fame comes a sense of responsibility and social conscience. Use your fame and power to promote the causes you care most about, whether they be political, environmental, social, or intellectual. The hours are easier, the extra pay is almost inconsequential, you're so wealthy, and the Heads of State now send you engraved invitations to their fundraisers. | 0
