Introduction

If your Sims wants to be good and heal people, then they should probably apply for a job as Medical Technician. In the end they can become a Chief of Hospital Staff. Although you start of nice with earning §200, it isn't all about the money in the end: you won't make more than §850. However, this job isn't too exhausting for a Sim so they can do plenty after the finish work, even though they sometimes have to work for 8 or 9 hours every day. Working hours are very irregular too. Fortunately you don't need extremely many skills, and 11 friends is quite normal. After running the SimCity hospital for a while, your Sim will probably become an inventor in the Science career.
