Bring back the Military career

Ive always wanted a vet career ... and id love it if it was interactive as well.

I got no joy with TS3 , maybe TS4 will bring it ... fingers crossed

I really want good career options for outdoorsy Sims, and for some of them, military would fit the bill. (I would also loooove some sort of Parks & Rec career where you Sim can rise from picking up litter along the highway to working as a park ranger, then ultimately running Sim Nation's whole National Parks system!)

Yes please a military career would be great :)

I really want the military career back for story telling purposes! I don't think it needs to be an active career (in my opinion), but I'd hope it would have cool career reward objects like a chin-up bar and a folded up flag or something else to be displayed at home. Also unique interactions like a salute.

I think part of the problem with Sims 4 careers is the career levels in quite a few of them don't actually make sense. In Sims 3, for instance, the doctor career makes a bit of sense (though obviously you miss medical school until University). Okay, organ donor is silly, but every single person I know who went to medical school worked as a paramedic as an undergrad. The progression actually makes sense.

In Sims 4, you go from nurse to doctor? That's an insult to nurses everywhere plus ignores that they're different fields.

I had many sims in the military career in the sims 3. Is one of my to-go career. I find still so strange that the sims 4 lack so many things that should be base game-stuff.

As a nurse myself, I actually created a mod for my own personal use that changes the medical career to nothing but doctor levels.
There's already NPC nurses at the hospital, so it doesn't affect them at all.

True, the organ donor was a silly one, much more realistic would be medical test subject. I know a lot of uni students who have taken part in various medical trials. But paramedics here are a different career path, I think. I've got a couple of firends who are in the medical field, one is a scientist, the other is a GP specialising in aged care, I don't think either were paramedics.

Yeah, nurses becoming doctors is a bit rude.

The doctor career should be ore like: Medical subject; trainee doctor; er doctor; gp; specialised field; top of specialised field.

Paramedic while different than an MD can be obtained by mainly OTJ training. Every person I've known who has gone to medical school has had at least an EMT license, and most got their paramedic license. It's not the same as nursing which requires a couple of years bare minimum in a specialized nursing program (and more nurses today go for a BSN). Nursing is not a stepping stone to getting into medical school whereas EMT/paramedic looks good on med school applications and the license can be obtained while attending a premed program.

There are nurses that do become medical doctors, but it's more likely for a nurse, if they go for post grad degrees, will get a post-grad nursing degree. They're just different fields. I think a lot of people don't understand how much education it takes to get an RN. Two years minimum, but 4 years is far more common.

Oh, baby doctors practice on each other all the time.
You know that one Grey's Anatomy where Lexie and the other interns are doing central lines on each other? That is scarily accurate.
