Career Ranks
Careers ranks no longer have names. Ranks are now designated with a number. The higher the number, the more money, experience, and career points you will earn for each hour worked. Different ranks may also provide special abilities. Ranks are upgraded by spending career points for a promotion, and the maximum rank in any career is equal to your work experience
rating.
