==The Sims==
Of the ten career tracks in the base game, science had the fourth-lowest pay at rank 1 and the fourth-highest at rank 10, behind [[entertainment]], [[Athletic (career)|pro athlete]], and [[Business (career)|business]]. It was also the second-easiest to climb (behind [[military]]), requiring only 10 friends to reach rank 10, and was in a three-way tie (with pro Aathlete and entertainment) for best ratio of pay to friends required to reach rank 10 ($1000/10 friends = 100). All of this made it one of the best career tracks to pursue. Out of all 20 career paths from the base game, ''Livin' Large'', and ''Unleashed'', it has the seventh-highest pay at rank 1 and the ninth-highest at rank 10, and is the seventh-easiest to climb, making it still an above-average choice.
