Career Skills (A tad bit disappointed)
I'm not going to say that this is a major pet peeve, because I have, for the most part, learned to ignore it. But every once in a while, like today for example, I just have to take a few minutes to ra...

I think you may be missing the point just a tad.
Whether or not they have all achieved the same skills (as of yet) doesn't really offer an argument against the fact that a couch patato sim that does as little as possible each day can eventually become as skilled as a sim with a degree who focuses heavy on hands-on career experience..... thus, after doing so... you'll have carbon copy sims.... despite one being professionally trained vs the other being just a sim that doesn't work towards becoming a professional at all.
The point of my post is simply to highlight that (IMO) professionally trained sims should have some perks that non-trained sims don't have.
I wish I didn't use the leveling system as an open idea for an example... because i've noticed a couple replies that took that a bit too serious.... but.... moreover... my opening post was for the purpose of just suggesting that I wish there was some differentation from one sim skill set to another.... other than the..... "well... they haven't done that yet"...... so... they're different.
The example with my spellcaster comes to mind. I don't have to worry about my normal sims trailing off when i'm busy looking after another sim, and learning to brew potions. I don't have to worry about my spellcaster disappearing (again when i'm busy) to talk to dolphins.
Even the fame perks being turned on or off creates some differences that would be worth noting.
But to suggest that sims are different because one is on level 10 while the other only achieved level 6 (so far). Sorry, not the resolve I was looking for.
