The Sims (console)/Xtreme

The Xtreme career path is my personal favorite because it yields a great financial reward. Two Xtreme Sims of level five or more living in the same house can bring in $1000+ per work day.

Daredevil
Salary: $175 per day

This is arguably the best starting job because it's a sweet spot of reasonable hours and high pay. Only the Military career pays more to start. You don't have to do anything to get promoted except go to work in a good mood.
