Which career should you pick?
The right answer depends on your starting trait, because traits multiply skill growth and skills gate promotion. Our short version:
Best all-rounder: Banking
Highest entry pay, Monday–Friday day shift, Charisma-driven. Least disruptive to your needs.
Best ceiling: Music / DJ
Over ₦60,000 a shift at the top — but night work, weekend-heavy, and hard on Fun and Social.
Simplest growth: Tech
Coding is useful anyway, and Intern to CTO is one of the cleanest ladders in the game.
Easiest schedule: Teaching
Monday–Friday, 08:00, seven hours. The lowest-disruption job in the game.
