is that ~2k for a small and ~4k for a large?

I assumed that the small and large paintings had appropriately different completion times and values, but I never bothered to time it.

MickeyJR:
Let me throw a couple things in here.

Law Enforcement:
At level 6 or so you get a Police Cruiser, and the chance to branch off to either Forensics Analyst or Secret Service. (I think thy were showing you can make branching jobs. I don't know if there are any more that do this.)
Make about 2.3k a day with my level 10 with my FA.
You also gaing the ability to question people, this allows you to learn all their traits. Level 6 I think.
When you take FA you also gain the ability to Forensics Study on the computer which rakes in $600 in about 3 or 4 hours. Nice to have when preggers.
When you get to level 4 you can also apprehend burglers, dunno how this works as I haven't had the chance yet.
You can work out on job as long as you have Athletics skill.

Another thing you might mention is with any job that has the option of doing extra work:
Like Law Enforcement = Special Investigation Case
Science = Independant Research Project

These if they work out can do one of two things:
Raise your rank or Give you cash raise.

My level 8 Law Enforcement (FA) got a couple raises and I think it carries over to the next level.

Sounds like these are just job-specific variations on "work extra hard"

I think every job has that in there somewhere.

Sorry about that 2k to 4k was for a large painting only.  I think small was between 600 to 1.2k but i didn't really paint them much aside from doing the painting opporutnities.  Also if i remember correctly depending on your paintings value and how many you need to paint for those opporunities you can earn up to 6 figures.  Oh i also forgot you can rarely get an opportunity to paint a single painting for a sim.

Oh i also forgot to list he had the artistic trait as well.

Fishing -
 - No idea on income, as I haven't tried to sell many fish
 - As of level 9, began occasionally reeling in junk. So far, a rubber ducky and a guitar. More valuable items are possible.


The best fish I've seen value-wise have been the deathfish and robotfish - they seem to sell for a minimum of 200; I reeled in a perfect robotfish worth 250, I'd assume a perfect deathfish would fetch 300'ish since it's the 'ultimate' fish.

The robot fish have hilarious weights - my record so far was 952.46kg. So if you ever get a wish for catching a heavy fish, just go fish behind the science center. :D
