There is a whole lot of different threads about careers and business ventures that players want, so I wanted to make a single topic post that can compile all those into one quick overview.
The bracketed sections below indicate the overarching career path, while the initial title is the specific subset the Zoi can specialize in. Think of it like this: You work at a hospital, that is your overarching career path, the specific subset/title would be your actual certifications, such as Vet Tech, or General Practitioner.
Reply with your additions to the list, or reply with elaboration on what you’d like to see within certain mentioned careers/businesses.
