O ok!

Poet:Apprentice(3)66; Lisenced(4)114 also, in the spreadsheet that is mentioned above, there is a 'typo'(i guess) but the accountant makes 75 at Novice, Not at beginner...

Hmm... so perhaps the poet actually began on the 36 pay scale? Maybe the starting salary for that one was reported incorrectly. Please stick with it and report as many levels as you can.

A few pages back we discussed that some new adoptees and some new spouses actually start at the novice level rather than beginner and that caused some errors in the beginning of our data collection.

That spreadsheet was created by mosaic, so it would be up to him to update it. Credit for collecting all the information on careers goes to Simsane. I used his data in addition to what I had collected to come up with the pay scales. And, of course, data submission was done by the wonderful VF community on these forums.

Thanks for the help!

i have the information almost complete I need information for the following careers
BASKET MAKER, COCKTAIL INVENTOR, DAY TRADER, DRY FRUIT PACKAGER, FILM PROCESSOR, JOURNALIST, LAWYER, MUSIC CRITIC, NONFICTION WRITER, POET, SCREENPLAY WRITER, SOUP TASTER, TECH CONSULTANT, TELEMARKETER, and the TOOL MAKER.
I have some of each of these but post whatever you have. Also if anyone has the whole pay scale for the day trader, i would love to have it just to verify everyone's findings!!

You have basically the same list as I do.
I"m working on confirmation of several of them right now. Most master out tomorrow morning, but I will be out of town. I think it's obvious which of the 45 pay scales they are on though.
Basket Maker (1) 45 (2) 60 (3) 75 (4) 90 (5) 120 (6) 165
Screenplay Writer (1) 36, (2) 54 (3) 66 (6) 240 (7) 450
Soup Taster (1) 45 (2) 54 (3) 66 (4) 81 (5) 99
I also have an envelope stuffer going as I was unsure which of the 45 pay scales they were on.

Edit: correcting an error in screenplay writer level 3 - my eyes jumped down a line

I've updated the spreadsheet and added 2 more tabs. One sorts by beginner salaries, one by master salaries. Of course, the ones that are missing end up at the bottom of the list.

Wow, everyone is so busy. I don't check this thread for a few days and lots more data has come in! Thanks for helping out! You guys are doing all the work!

Thanks Mosaic for starting the spreadsheet. I am sure about the Online Gold Farmer starting at $42 not $45 as I was keeping track before I found your comprehensive list. I have also seen other posts about a different salary path starting at $42 than the ones starting at $45 but I can't find them now. Anyone else had that experience?
