One of my Sims is employed as a Scientist, and the picture is of the Telescope. One of my earlier goals was to buy a Telescope, so I was wondering if using it gave a boost in that career? Same with the Athlete with the football.

I am 14 and when I grow up I want to be a forensic scientist. I've heard they get paid 20-30 grand and my mom said that's bullsh*t because she gets paid that and she works at burger king as the general manager. I want to know how much they get paid for each case and every week. No rude comments, thanks.

I've always wanted a job as an animal caretaker/trainer (NOT a vet) such as those seen on shows like "Growing Up" on Animal Planet. However, I've had a hard time finding out any information about this job, such as the official job title, job requirements, average pay, etc. If there is any information people have from experience, or if anyone knows any resources for additional information it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! =)

This is going to sound corny, but I like the research people do on say, the animal planet or national geographic. I've mainly been fascinated with the ocean and the diversity of life in the deep blue. I also realize that these jobs are rare (or so I think), and that, usually, one needs to have a side job or main job. Can anybody clarify this?

I am following an associate in science degree in criminal justice technology but I don't know what is the best bachelor degree that I can take, I have many courses of chemistry and biology, and I would like to work in and off the scene and the crime lab, if I want to work in both places, what would be the best field for me?

Computer science designates the scientific and mathematical approach in information technology and its applications, notably computer software. A computer scientist is a scientist who specialises in the theory of computation. So, is a computer scientist knowledgeable about computer hardware? Does he know how hardware works? Can he make his own computer?

I am 18, and planning to go into computer science next year as my major. I have always had a fascination with computers, programming and concepts associated with it, and algorithms. I think that choosing either software engineering or computer science would be the correct choice for me. But I was wondering what is the usual day like for these jobs. I looked stuff up online, but it is not always like what a person really does in the field. And a side question, how many programming languages do you have to know (based on your experience) when working for a company? And, what would you recommend for someone like me who plans to go into the field of computer science/programming?

I know there are lots of jobs to be had in the IT industry, but one of the most common descriptions of IT I've heard of is that it is geared more towards "working with people" than Computer Science is. I'm just wondering to what extent this description should apply to it.. are Info Tech jobs heavy on customer service and the such?

I've been thinking about becoming a chemist but I keep hearing that there aren't any good jobs for chemistry students that have just graduated college. Is this true?
