Adult Promotion Levels

Level	Name	Description	Days Off	Hours	Pay	Promotional Bonus	Skills Required	Friends Required
1	Test Subject	While earning a science degree, you're picking up a mediocre salary as a "human guinea pig" at a local kinetics lab. It's a way to introduce yourself to the scientific community, but it's tough to be charming after several hours in a wind tunnel.	S M T W T F S	11:00 - 17:00	§217	N/A	None	None
2	Lab Assistant	Cleaning rat cages, fixing delicate lab equipment for minimum wage—how's your mood today? A lot of logic-skill-building time is needed at home to advance. And guess what? You're on the graveyard shift. Work all night, sleep all day.	S M T W T F S	16:00 - 22:00	§322	§644	Cooking: 1 Cleaning: 1	0
3	Field Researcher	This job takes you into the field, working on far-flung projects. However, your pay increases. Develop your logic skill and maybe you can actually teach about this stuff in the classroom, instead of doing it in remote, inhospitable places.	S M T W T F S	9:00 - 15:00	§448	§896	Cooking: 1 Logic: 1 Cleaning: 3	0
4	Science Teacher	No amount of field research could have prepared you for the naked savagery of teaching a high-school science class. (At least it's a job with regular hours.) Keep those lab messes clean, and build logic skill to aid you in getting a different job.	S M T W T F S	8:00 - 15:00	§525	§1,050	Logic: 1 Cooking: 2 Cleaning: 5	1
5	Project Leader	It is up to you to manage a team of researchers in the quest for an important scientific breakthrough. Devise innovative experiments using your newly developed cooking and cleaning skills. If you really shine here, you may be on your way to becoming an inventor.	S M T W T F S	10:00 - 17:00	§630	§1,260	Cooking: 3 Logic: 3 Cleaning: 6	2
6	Inventor	Income has climbed, but to succeed as an inventor you'll need to put in long hard hours at the lab. Maintaining your home relationships may be harder now—there will be little time for socializing as you create the auto-recycling newspaper.	S M T W T F S	10:00 - 19:00	§756	§1,512	Cooking: 4 Logic: 4 Cleaning: 6	3
7	Scholar	You have been named Chairman of the Science Department at Sim University. The regents are depending on your leadership and logical thinking to invigorate the school's science curriculum. This is a high-paying, well-respected position with good hours and more time at home, but it takes a well-rounded skill set to guarantee success and promotion.	S M T W T F S	8:00 - 13:00	§896	§1,792	Cooking: 5 Logic: 5 Cleaning: 7	3
8	Top Secret Researcher	Your expertise with auto-recycling has led to a position on a highly classified, very demanding government project. The money is excellent, but you may be called to the lab at any time. Special care should be taken to stay happy and rested—a tired, cranky scientist might pose a security risk. If exceptional logic is demonstrated, a promotion to theorist may be in the cards.	S M T W T F S	10:00 - 15:00	§1,036	§2,072	Cooking: 6 Cleaning: 7 Logic: 8	3
9	Theorist	The accolades from your research have earned you the highly paid position of theorist. You enjoy a higher salary-to-work-hours ratio than the one you had as an inventor. You must work hard to keep a high state of happiness and health. And only a successful theory can lead to the status and rewards you seek.	S M T W T F S	10:00 - 14:00	§1,522	§3,044	Cooking: 7 Logic: 9 Cleaning: 9	5
10	Mad Scientist	With lecture fees and book advances, you're able to purchase the big house on the hill. The big question is, what experiments will you be conducting in its big cellar?	S M T W T F S	22:00 - 2:00	§2,333	§4,666	Cooking: 9 Logic: 10 Cleaning: 10	8

1	Lab Glass Scrubber	What makes being a Lab Glassware Scrubber different from your ordinary everyday run of the mill dish washer? Why that's easy! The fact that neither the word dish nor washer appear anywhere in your job title, only in your job description!	S M T W T F S	15:00 - 18:00	§64	N/A	None	None
