Aspiration Update: Preview Goals in CAS, Aspiration for EVERY Career

I think we need an aspiration for EVERY career. I think it's a no-brainer idea for an Aspiration concept.

You'd obviously sprinkle in things surrounding the career, but having the base goal of "Reach Level 10 of [Career]" is so, so obvious. Currently remaking Lincoln Broadsheet from Urbz and Sims 2 PSP- he's a journalist without much defined personality. I figure, his Aspiration should be journalism, right? No journalism Aspiration.

Then I realize, wait a minute. I have this problem ALL THE TIME...there are no aspirations for careers!

Careers in Sims 4 are more complex, more often than not, than players realize. They ALL unlock new interactions and aspirations could showcase that!

Sims in the Education Career can practice lectures, write grants, tutor students! Did you know that? I didn't know that! 

Likewise, imagine being able to preview an Aspiration's goals in CAS. You click the Education career aspiration, and get to see that your sim will have to "Tutor X students" or "Write 4 Grants" or "Review Education Budget" or "Tutor in Arts, Communications, Health, Entertainment, AND Technology". Wow! The education career has interactions like that? Now I'm gonna play the education career, sounds neat!

Take that and apply it to EVERY career...it'd be a great new set of aspirations to encourage exploring content you might not otherwise have looked into.

Reward traits would be a lot of fun for these too. Max education career and your kids will be born with a trait that makes them learn everything faster. Max the journalism branch of the writer career and you can write articles to boost your relationships, fame, reputation, business renown, all sorts of stats- just write an article and convince the people of how cool you are. Basically, an extra new interaction or trait on top of those you already get just by playing the careers.
