Is there any one career that is better for making money?

Noticed some careers seem to be quicker at finishing when you are actively playing. For 30 energy I was able to complete the quick shift of the restaurant three times just a minute ago. I noticed may...

    Career/hobby doesn't matter, except as you already mentioned for Barista, the rest are all essentially the same.  You get to high level and do quick shifts.  Since all of the careers and hobbies are the same payout, if you are trying to generate money in a hurry, choose hobbies.  You can have 2-4 sims running at the same time.  I have a nemonic system so I can click each sim in turn without forgetting any.  I start the action and move to the next sim. By the time I get back to the first sim, he/she has earned a green checkmark and is ready to go again.  Hobbies have the additional advantage of being in the same place as your bed and bathroom so you can recharge energy a few of times a day.  You can do quite a lot of shifts very quickly.  I can get all my sims from level 0 to level 10 in hobbies in about a day and a half without using any cupcakes or simcash to hurry things.  I've done it in less than a day, but that required being attentive and devoting more time to the game more than usual.   It also generates lots of simoleons.

    A note about one more difference in the careers.  Cooking career's main action doesn't produce career XP, it produces food items that produce food XP so it is slower than the rest, requiring 2 actions to get the same number of XP, unless you are careful to only choose talking to the co-worker or clicking the tables.  It does have one advantage that the other careers don't. Almost all houses have a stove so cooking career has bonus actions at every party.

@VintageStarlette They generate the same as the careers. The level 10 Hobbies pay the same as the Level 10 Careers. I keep my Sims at home doing hobbies once they Level their careers up to 10. It's just easier to have them all in one spot. 😊☺

    Ah, got it. And I'm beginning to understand why level-40 players are becoming disenchanted. In the absence of challenge, and in the absence of freedom to meet a challenge if there happens to be one...not much left.

      @VintageStarlette Exactly. Especially when there are no relationship stories left to do either because all the prizes have been won. I think EA's intent here is to constantly make new Sims and constantly having to level them up but the way the game is now, it's kind of counterintuitive. There are no new prizes for leveling up relationships with the loss of higher level incomes in careers and hobbies, it doesn't make sense to keep retiring our Sims and with the "Item Limit" it makes it even worse. 😮

      And there are stupid limits on items in your house and on Izzy's.  Plus you have to be worried about bugs every time you start a romance or try to move in another sim.
