It’s just a cosmetic thing. Basically, when you “ask about career” it will say whatever you typed in. It doesn’t give you money at all.
To make money without getting a job that is actually in the game you can write books on a computer and publish them from the mailbox, paint and sell the painting, cook, fish, or make drinks and drag it to the sell box on the inventory tab, create and sell things from the woodworking table, garden and sell the produce or flowers, play for tips with an instrument or write a song (level 9 I believe) and published the song from the mailbox, sing for tips, perform comedy at a venue with a microphone, program or hack from a computer, collect things and sell them, breed frogs and sell them, and more.
