Education

For information about the institutes that children and teens attend, see School.

The education career track is available in The Sims: Unleashed, The Sims 2: Seasons, The Sims 3: Ambitions and The Sims 4: Discover University.

The Sims: Unleashed

Education has a below-average pay at every rank and follows a severely bent pay curve. Out of the 20 career tracks in The Sims, Livin' Large, and Unleashed, it is the fourth-worst-paying at ranks 4 and 5, third-worst-paying at rank 6, second-worst-paying at rank 7, and tied with military for second-worst-paying at rank 8. It has the third-lowest combined pay over all ten ranks ($3990), with only slacker and circus being worse. Requiring only 9 friends to reach rank 10, it is the sixth-easiest career track to climb, but hacker, fashion, and animal care are all even easier to climb while still offering more pay at almost every level.

2) Substitute Teacher
Your ability to control unruly children on the playground has not gone unnoticed. Now let's see how you do in the classroom. You'll need to teach craft classes and help with lunchtime snacks, so remember to work on the appropriate skills.	0	0	0

	07:00 - 13:00		1
			§190/day
4) Junior High School Teacher
Finally, you can come in a bit later and the kids are more mature, but you're still a glorified baby sitter with a salary to match. Union leaders are watching you now, so put on your thinking cap, play along with their so-called "educational reform," and you'll go far.	1	0	1

5) High School Teacher
The last teacher in your position quit in disgust…can you take the heat? Know-it-all teens can be a "challenge," when they aren't ditching class that is, and you'll be forced to teach everything from algebra to art classes, so be prepared.	1	0	2

8) Tenured Professor
Tenure - as long as you show up, you'll never get fired. Pretty good for an ex-playground monitor, but if you're truly ambitious, keep researching that "illogical creative rationality" theory. Some day the world will listen.	1	0	6

10) Minister of Education
Now it's time for a little "schooling!" But we're not talking about educating the masses…With your new powers, you can restructure the Teachers' Union, fire old rivals, grant and revoke scholarships and edit textbooks at your whim! That'll teach 'em!	1	0	6

The Sims 2: Seasons

The career reward is Books First for Learning: A Bookshelf of Education that allows Sims to study all skills. If The Sims 2: Apartment Life is installed, Techs are likely to be employed in this career. Additionally, this is the career with the third highest level 10 salary per week, after show business and intelligence. The college majors associated with this career are biology and psychology.

The work hours for the teen/elder level jobs in this career make no logical sense, since the hours happen after school itself has finished for child sims, as well as teens. This is because teens attend school from 9:00 to 13:00, making them unable to work actual school hours.

Education Chance Cards
1) Playground Monitor
It's an uneventful day on the playground for <Sim>, when suddenly the unmistakable scent of trouble makes its presence known. The Big Kids enter the playground just after their lunch with a sweet tooth for bullying. <Sim> knows the younger kids don't stand a chance, as there aren't enough slides and tunnels in which to hide! He/She must act quickly with the tools at his/her disposal. Should <Sim> offer The Big Kids a delicious tray of fresh orange wedges to distract them from the younger kids, or should he/she stand up to them with detention slips at the ready?	Offer Them Orange Wedges
	Success: +1	75% chance
	Failure: Get Fired	24% chance
	Threaten Them with Detention
	Success: Promoted to Teacher's Aide	24% chance
	Failure: Get Fired	75% chance
2) Teacher's Aide
<Sim> is taking the role sheets to the front office just after the morning announcements, when a frantic mother bursts through the front door with her son trailing behind her. "Stop right there!" the mother yells at <Sim>. "You cannot turn in that role sheet!" Taken aback, <Sim> informs the woman that, yes, he/she can turn in the role sheet. Flustered, the mother reveals that if her child is tardy once more, he'll have to repeat the third grade and it just isn't right, because it's her fault he's always late. With the pleading mother on her knees before him/her, <Sim> is faced with the choice of turning in the role sheet as is, or fudging it a bit to give the young boy just one more chance.	Turn in the Role Sheet
	Success: Promoted to Substitute Teacher	79% chance
	Failure: Demoted to Playground Monitor	20% chance
	Alter the Role Sheet
	Success: Promoted to Substitute Teacher	20% chance
	Failure: Get Fired	79% chance
3) Substitute Teacher
<Sim> is called to substitute for Ms. Moorington, who has won the Teacher of the Year Award for the past 3 years. A bit intimidated, <Sim> takes a deep breath and arrives in the classroom to find its inhabitants have gone insane! He/She pulls a child down from the ceiling and demands to know what is going on. It appears that Ms. Moorington never actually taught, she just bribed the children with candy and falsified their report cards. Ms. Moorington has a lot of power with the school board, making it risky for <Sim> to reveal the conspiracy. Desperate times call for desperate measures - what should <Sim> do to get the classroom under control?	Report Ms. Moorington's Scheme
	Success: Promoted to Elementary School Teacher	75% chance
	Failure: Get Fired	24% chance
	Eat Lots of Candy!
	Success: +1	24% chance
	Failure: Get Fired	75% chance
4) Elementary School Teacher
<Sim> really wants to impress the administration with his/her students, and the school district science fair looks like the perfect opportunity. Two of his/her students' projects really stand out: Harry Monroe's model that hypothesizes the result of hot cocoa brewed in a volcano, and Sally O'Minky's holographic gelatin projector. Both are top notch and cutting edge for the elementary scientific community, but <Sim> can only send one student. Who should she send?	Harry Monroe
	Success: +§970	45% chance
	Failure: -§475	54% chance
	Sally O'Minky
	Success: +§760	54% chance
	Failure: Demoted to Substitute Teacher	45% chance
5) High School Teacher
Spirit day for the high school is approaching and everyone is expected to participate - even teachers. However, things aren't so simple for <Sim>, who is up for evaluation before the school board on the same day. It's one thing to be spirited on a normal day with face paint and a crazy outfit, and another thing when paint and a crazy outfit may cost a teacher dearly for not taking evaluations seriously. <Sim> doesn't want to be criticized for a lack of school spirit, but he/she would also like to keep progressing as an educator. What should he/she do?	Dress for Spirit Day
	Success: Promoted to University Guest Lecturer	75% chance
	Failure: Demoted to Elementary School Teacher	24% chance
	Wear Normal Clothes
	Success: +§1,200	24% chance
	Failure: -§960	75% chance
6) University Guest Lecturer
<Sim> is requested by Sim State University's meteorology and sociology departments to lecture on the growing complexity of weather control devices, and the ethical and moral consequences of using the machines for its "When Lightning and Ethics Collide!" lecture series. The presentation moves along at a fine pace, with facts and opinions from both sides of the argument being presented. At the conclusion, <Sim> opens the floor to questions, when a rather smarmy looking graduate student in the front row asks "What do you think?" Should <Sim> say he/she is pro-control or pro-natural weather?	Pro-Control
	Success: Promoted to High School Principal	75% chance
	Failure: Demoted to High School Teacher	24% chance
	Pro-Natural Weather
	Success: +§2,460	24% chance
	Failure: -§1,860	75% chance
7) High School Principal
<Sim> is becoming increasingly worried about students falling asleep in class. Teachers can barely teach the students anything and morale is at an all time low. <Sim> brings in a group of consultants and they offer two solutions to the problem. The first is to use Ombutronic Generators to cool the school to near freezing temperatures, making it impossible to fall asleep. The alternative is arming every teacher, aide, and gym coach with a personal bullhorn to wake drowsy students. Both choices are rather extreme, though desperate times call for desperate measures. What plan should <Sim> implement?	Chill the School
	Success: +1	65% chance
	Failure: Demoted to University Guest Lecturer	34% chance
	Bullhorns for All
	Success: Promoted to College Senior Professor	34% chance
	Failure: -§2,340	65% chance
8) College Senior Professor
<Sim> could really use the grant money offered with the London Scholarship for Immense Brains, but he/she hasn't published a paper in quite some time. There are a few topics of interest about which to write, most notably The Effect of Vegetables on the Sim Physique and Frostbite: A World Without Toes. Both subjects are quite compelling and will make excellent papers, so it isn't an easy decision. What subject should <Sim> write about to win the London Scholarship?	The Effects of Vegetables
	Success: +§4,000	50% chance
	Failure: Demoted to High School Teacher	49% chance
	Frostbite
	Success: +§6,000	49% chance
	Failure: -§4,000	50% chance
9) College Dean of Students
Dean <Sim> is having trouble with a particular fraternity on campus, the Zigga Bugga Goos. The young men have a tendency to conduct pranks on facility members, throw obnoxious parties, and crash the homecoming parade every year with unnecessary fireworks and gaudy rock music. <Sim> has had enough! There are only two ways to deal with a fraternity this misbehaved: Kick the charter off campus, or pay a sorority to sabotage their social status. <Sim> is pretty sure both methods will work, but he/she isn't sure which one is best. What should <Sim> do?	Kick them Off Campus
	Success: Promoted to Education Minister	55% chance
	Failure: Get Fired	44% chance
	Hire the Sorority
	Success: Promoted to Education Minister	44% chance
	Failure: Demoted to College Senior Professor	55% chance
10) Education Minister
The country is not happy with test scores for children in neighborhoods throughout the country. Polls indicate that the children just aren't learning, and drastic, unorthodox measures should be taken to put the nation's youth back on the right track. Secretary <Sim> proposes to the government a new curriculum of educational video games. Ideally, he/she proposes, children can learn and have fun at the same time. Two games really stand out: Bixby Rabbit and the Great Spelling Carrot, and Hunting and Fishing: Scavenging for Algebra! The budget only allows for one of the two games. Which one should <Sim> choose?	Bixby Rabbit
	Success: +§45,000	75% chance
	Failure: Demoted to College Dean of Students	24% chance
	Scavenging for Algebra
	Success: +§50,000	24% chance
	Failure: -§37,000	75% chance

1) Private Tutor
-No description-	0	0	0	0
	11:00 - 17:00		Wage: §217/day	Bonus: None
2) Substitute Teacher
A bizarre string of glitter-related accidents has incapacitated many of the town's elementary school teachers. As a result, you are getting more work than ever. Just remember that kids can smell fear, so be sure to assert your command of the classroom early, or things could get ugly.	1	1	0	0
	16:00 - 22:00		Wage: §322/day	Bonus: §644
3) Intern
You're new to the teaching game and eager to educate. But before you start planning your tenure, there's the matter of experience, and your lack of it. As an intern, you will gain the skills needed to be a real teacher, while earning almost next to nothing - much like a real teacher.	2	1	1	0
	09:00 - 15:00		Wage: §448/day	Bonus: §896
4) Test Administrator
According to recent polls, test administrators are more feared by children than dentists and librarians combined. With your multiple choice answer sheets and number two pencils, you strike fear in the hearts of students everywhere. The passion you feel for this work has earned you a nickname too vulgar for print.	4	2	1	1
	09:00 - 15:00		Wage: §525/day	Bonus: §1,050
5) Teacher's Aide
Whether you're accompanying a young paste eater to the school nurse, or grading book reports, the work of a teacher's aide is never done. On the bright side, the students like you a lot better than the teacher - probably because you're loose with the hall passes and candy awards.	5	3	2	3
	10:00 - 17:00		Wage: §630/day	Bonus: §1,260
6) Teacher
Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. And those who can't teach, think of you as a colleague. Sure the pay might be low, and the work is mostly thankless, but that new pinball machine with the "free play" button in the teacher's lounge makes it all worthwhile.	5	4	4	3
	10:00 - 19:00		Wage: §756/day	Bonus: §1,512
7) Department Head
Yesterday, you're an average teacher, hanging out with your department colleagues - today, you're their boss. But control over your peers is just the beginning. As Department Head, you're entitled to a variety of amenities including a padded desk chair, touch-tone phone, and lightly-scented paperwork.	6	6	5	3
	08:00 - 13:00		Wage: §896/day	Bonus: §1,792
8) Assistant Principal
When teachers send students to the principal's office for disciplinary action, they usually end up with you. That's okay, you like troublemakers. In fact, you used to be one. But that was before you became Assistant Principal and straightened up your act.	7	7	7	3
	08:00 - 13:00		Wage: §1,016/day	Bonus: §2,032
9) Principal
You try to put the "pal" in principal, but budget cuts make it difficult. Drastic times call for drastic measures, and there's nothing more drastic than reenacting famous navel maneuvers as a means to raise funds for the school. Remember to pitch that idea at the next faculty meeting.	7	8	8	5
	10:00 - 14:00		Wage: §1,562/day	Bonus: §3,124
10) Superintendent
Superintendents are best known for their surprise inspections, and you're no exception. You love making principals squirm under your eagle-eyed scrutiny. And if you promote the accomplishments of your district loud enough, you just might beat out the other Superintendents for face time in the local paper.	8	9	10	8
	10:00 - 14:00		Wage: §2,200/day	Bonus: §4,400

The Sims 3: Ambitions

The education career is the only new career in The Sims 3: Ambitions that follows the old career track format. To advance in education, Sims must build both charisma and logic. At higher levels, teachers will also be expected to hold lectures, which will earn them extra cash. At level 10, Sims unlock the ability "Give Amazing Lecture", which gives all who listen a positive moodlet.
