Help Choose Rami's Career! [Finished]
Rami Omar-Velaris is growing up, and it's not long before he has to decide some grown-up things. I already know he'll earn a degree, but I haven't yet decided which. First I want to decide what career might be best for him, as that would heavily influence his choices in higher education. Other simmers were so helpful and fun in my last major decision for Rami, so I thought I'd seek your help again. :)
For a bit of extra background that may influence which choices you wish to make (which in turn may have long term influences on Rami's life, including where and how he ends up residing, the kinds of people he might interact with most, and so on), the following may be the most relevant.
Money isn't necessarily a major factor in any of the choices, as the family has considerable funds (2 careers, a small but well-tended garden, and good investments, current amount about 5.4m simoleons). Rami himself already has savings, investments, and a modest trust fund to take over when he ages up; currently these amount to just over 1m simoleons. Somewhat related, Rami will live in Britechester for the duration of his courses, but not on campus; he'll have his own small house (possibly with a friend or two), location depending on which school he chooses. He'll get a more permanent home of his own after he earns his degree (where, I don't yet know).
Rami is very close to both parents, and they've helped a great deal with his education thus far. They've probably influenced him in unknown ways as well. One is a spellcaster with Genius, Bookworm, Self-Assured traits, and he works as a mid-level writer in the Author career. The other is a mid-level programmer in the Tech Guru career, and his traits are Self-Assured, Jealous, and Family-Oriented. Both are well-respected and somewhat well-known (each has 1 star of fame). Rami rolled Self-Assured and Bookworm from their combined traits, and at YA he'll get Vegetarian from a wild-card roll. Per my previous poll he became a spellcaster and has now surpassed his father in rank. He also recently earned his first rank in fame.
Being a bookworm may have helped Rami learn, as his parents have an extensive collection of books, and he loves to read them. The following are things he has learned by autonomous means through independent study and/or practice (with little or no direction from me):
Max skills: Charisma, Comedy, Fitness, Gardening, Logic, Programming (also won Hackathon at his 1st Geekcon), and Violin.
Guitar and Singing are at level 9+
Piano is at level 8+
Video Gaming is at level 7+
Handiness is at level 6+
Rocket Science is at level 5+
Research and Debate is at level 5+
Photography is level 4+
Rami has a number of other skills, but most are either too low to seem significant or weren't autonomously gained.
I'll use the amount of votes received at the time Rami ages up to young adult, at which time the poll will be considered closed.I'll edit this section of the post to update his current aging progress to give an indication of how close things are to being finished. Current: Young Adult. The official count was: Creative 8, Tech/Science 17, Other 5. I'll add a new post with the final results. Many thanks to all who participated! :)
