Which is your favorite Sims 4 Job/Career?
I tend to play the Culinary and Tech Guru a lot, but was wondering which are other favorites out there, and why. I enjoy having my sims build the skills, read the books, practice the cooking, the hack...

I've not tried the City Living careers yet, and Detective doesn't appeal to me, so I've only got first hand experience of Medicine and Science.
Ultimately I found the Medicine career frustrating and repetitive, aside from a few good animation gags, and I never got to max level as I have done with Science (on more than one character). Provides some great toys for your house too.
For the non-active careers, I go with Writer and Tech guru most often. You can just put a PC down in the living room, next to the fireplace and stereo, and tell your Sim to go Program/Write. Your family is able to chat to them while they work and their needs stay up. You're not banishing them to the Kitchen or the Easel and you don't need to micromanage much. This is especially true of Tech Guru since the basic salary is decent, I only ever "practice programming" rather than having to queue up book after book.
Astronaut is cool, but you have to work on two quite disparate skills (logic, fitness) though i still chose it often.
Business and Sports require charisma, which isn't easy to level up. Worse, personal trainer requires you to go to work in a confident moodlet which is not as easy to arrange as Inspired (shower, browse art) , focused (chess board, pc) or energised (shower, coffee, workout). The daily task, mentoring, takes ages, and your sim can't do anything else at the same time - they're not working on their own fitness or building charisma, the other prime requisite!
