Something needs to be done with writing and painting

It's a major annoyance for me. Either you follow a normal career and struggle with money for the rest of the gameplay, or just write books and paint and swim in simoleons. The question is WHY? We if we want to be rich, the only option we have is writing and painting? These two skills are vastly superior for moneymaking compared to anything else in the game and i will explain why.

It takes 4 hours to write a book and usually when you reach lvl 6 or 7 each book is worth 300 simoleons. Which means that you earn 6K in total, for 4 hour's work. If you write 2-3 books per day which is absolutely possible, you earn astronomical amounts of money with minimal effort.

Painting is even worse. It takes around two hours to paint a painting which at higher levels is usually a masterpiece and it sells anywhere from 4K to 30K. I personally sold a 28K painting just two days ago. For just two hours. Yeah.

Now, i get that many people like this, and i'm perfectly fine with it. But at least give the rest of us some other ways to make money. Not everyone wants to write or paint to get rich.

Programming is the only logical option beside writing or painting. It yields nice amounts of money, but only after you spent entire days on the computer making apps and games. Still way behind writing from a time invested/benefit perspective.

The invest in stock ability was nice addition (on paper) but unfortunately it rarely works and it's results are completely random. A lvl 10 painter always paints good paintings, why does a lvl 10 logic investor then, rarely succeeds in his investments?

I would like to hear the community's thoughts and suggestions on this.
