I forgot to mention earlier there's two tracks to the criminal career. Criminal Mastermind and Master Thief. At the end of the master thief one you get a statue of a gold fox holding a money bag.
Ohhhh Nice! Me wants! Hehe.
That's one thing I have noticed/liked about TS3, that even though there is only 12 odd careers, there is like 20 career paths.
just don't fall into the trap I did... I had the Lifetime wish of becoming the Secret Agent of whatever.. And at Level 5 or something a box pops up, and asked what track I wanted to go down. So I just clicked the random one, Something CSI related... And I never got the Lifetime want, so had to quit, and start again, Lulz! (User Error)
Forensics Analyist and Secret Agent (I'm pretty sure of this but I could be wrong.) were the choices I had in Law enforcement. I have had three law enforcement Sims.

I think your on the money with that one.. I'm a fan of the different paths. Im just annoyed that Lifetime wishes cannot be regen'd after completion, which sucks!
But I guess its because, then LifeTime points would be coming out left right and centre.. but still. would be good to roll another one.

Music (Symphony branch)
Skills Required: Primarily the guitar, which ought to be maxed by level 10. Secondary skill is logic. It is possible to reach high levels without these skills at the recommended levels, but there will be a massive drain on performance (requiring you to "work hard" every day and have perfect relations with the boss and coworkers).
Skill improvement: There is a "Study Music Theory" option that alternatingly increases logic and guitar skill.
Perks: Autograph sessions similar to those in the rock star branch. You can attend the theater for free. Any perks related to high guitar and logic skills will also accrue to you, of course.
Salary: The level 10 salary (Hit Movie Composer or something of that sort) is just under $400 an hour, netting near $1800 a day. You work four days a week: Friday, Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday.
Opportunities: You can perform a movie symphony at the theatre on Saturday or Sunday evening and net a few thousand.
Level 10 vehicle: To and from work, you use the car immediately inferior to the Margaret Vaguester (the one that looks similar to a Porsche). The taxi is completely replaced by a pink limosine (likely to be blue for male characters).

On the subject of novels, there are two hidden genres that become available after you've mastered the three Writing skill challenges: Vaudeville and Masterpiece.
Vaudeville novels are 1250 pages in length and have a royalty value rating of 4. Masterpiece novels are 2000 pages in length and have a royalty value rating of 5. My sim earned around 8000/week for a Vaudeville novel, and over 12000/week for a Masterpiece. Both were best-sellers.
I didn't get these perks directly after fulfilling the three writing challenges, because as soon as you mentioned this I checked my male Sim's options and he didn't have either Vaudeville or Masterpiece. He got the Masterpiece after a couple more novels though, but still no vaudeville...

I think Vaudeville and masterpiece are not tied to completing those challenges. I have received masterpiece and have only completed two of the three challenges. I still haven't gotten to $30k royalties. I have had 25 bestsellers, so I think I received masterpiece because of that. Not sure exactly when it was earned though.
