Day trader novice level is 60. I opened a new game and got one just so i could figure out the pay scale for it. also thanks for screenplay writer, I also have a poet (which i missed 3 & 4)(she is a big time work-a-holic) but 5)99 and 6)120 She hasn't reached 7 yet, hehe...she is only 30 it wont be long!! Oh and she already has 6 kids...

I NEED
Cocktail Inventor 2,3, and 8(to make sure it is all correct)
Film Processor 2-8 But we could figure out which with level 8
Ketchup bottler 2-8, we could figure it out with level 8
Non Fiction writer 3-7
Poet 3 & 4
Telemarketer 6 & 7
Wood Sculptor, we have some but would appreciate them all to clarify...

Day Trader novice has also been reported at 90 in this post. If you search the forums, you can find multiple posts with all different salaries reported for every level of day trader salary except the beginning salary, which is always 105.
This post
Level 2 pays 60
There are many others, but those are the ones that mention the novice level pay.

Oh nice - thanks for the poet info! (Looks like she might max out at 210?)

poet level 7 is 360!

i have twins just turned 18
will they start careers?
when?

Dzrt1st - Children do not have careers. Between the ages of 18 & 19 they will go off to college, and once the parents pass, the twins will be in your new generation selection process, with careers then. (Note: Only one person will be able to carry on the new generation)

Poet Level 8 is 510

So, Vanna, what are your figures for poet altogether?
I'm going to compare with the three other lists I have and see if I can get us a complete pay scale out of them. It looks like it is definitely a separate scale of it's own though.

Poet is 45, 54, (i missed 3 and 4) 99, 120, 360, 510.
she progressed too fast to and i missed 3 and 4, i will try to get another poet on one of my next Generation families.
Here is what i have for Day Trader 105, 60, 84, 165, 120, 96, 510, 240

Wow, if I ever have another day trader I'll stop them at level 7.

I have a telemarketer and cocktail inventor running now. I just hope I don't miss the ones we need for those.

The funny thing is, you missed the exact same levels of poet as I did! I have (3) 66? but from two sources and (4) 114? only one source and it doesn't seem to "fit" with the rest of the scale. My other numbers match yours and are the same as those I collected myself.

Oddly enough, our day traders had the exact same scale. tkd, that is exactly what I did - I kept my day trader at level 7 as long as I possibly could. I would stop her from working and kept her nursing as much as possible. hehe
