Notes:

• I have lots of overrides for the default careers so the career levels in the sims' profiles may sound odd to you. For example the Dance career in Wellington concentrates solely on ballet and the Politics career is based on how a political career would go in Finland because it makes more sense to me. I've started adding the career level number in the profiles so you'll know how high the sim is in their career.
