==Introduction==
The guide has details on all of the chance cards in the Sims 2 careers.

The way the odds work is that there is a specific chance that choice A is successful (ex: 85%). Then, B succeeds the rest of the time except for 1% of the time where you lose no matter what (ex: B succeeds 14% of the time). 
 
Note: Freetime adds a Lifetime Aspiration Benefit where you are always successful 80% of the time, whichever you choose.

! rowspan="2" | Campaign Worker
| rowspan="2" | While working the phones at the campaign office, $Me receives a call from a reporter claiming to be from the SimCity Herald. The reporter says she just has a few questions about the campaign. $Me could go and bother the council member's personal assistant, or answer some questions himself.
| $Me squeezes out of the tightly packed phone bank and goes to look for the council member's assistant, whom he finds embroiled in three conversations and one phone call already. $Me informs her that there is a woman from the Herald on the phone with some questions. The assistant gives $Me the "okay" sign and mouths the words "thank-you". $Me receives 1 charisma skill point.
| $Me tries to free himself from the sardine tin of campaign workers all busy answering phones. As he squeezes out of his chair and out from underneath his section of the folding card table, he trips over his headset cord and falls backwards onto the card table, ripping the entire bank of phones out of their sockets, and effectively hanging up on the reporter. $Me is forced to pay §65 to replace his phone.
|-
| $Me informs the reporter that he'd be happy to go on record in response to any questions directly pertaining to the campaign. After answering three or four questions, the reporter thanks him and ends the call. $Me's name appears that night in the evening paper, attached to some eloquent quotes which perfectly toe the party's line. $Me is immediately promoted to Intern.
| $Me tells the woman on the phone that he'd be happy to answer any of her questions, seeing that he IS an official Campaign Worker. After a few strange questions, including "Where does the council member normally dine out?" $Me begins to suspect that something is amiss. That evening a local tabloid runs an exposé on the council member and quotes $Me severely out of context. There's no excuse $Me can make, and he's fired on the spot.

! rowspan="2" | Intern
| rowspan="2" | The controller has a stack of paperwork on her desk that $Me has been asked to read through and assign priority levels to the tasks. About halfway through the stack, he finds some speeches that the controller has been asked to edit. $Me has an okay eye for syntax, and he knows how busy the controller is, so he could try editing them himself, or scan the speeches into his word processor and run the grammar check on them. 
| $Me carefully reads through the speeches and finds a few typos, as well as some really awkward syntax. She dutifully marks the errors and suggests the proper changes, before returning the speeches to a relatively un-cluttered section of the controller's desk, along with a sticky note that says "Done". When the controller gets back to his desk, he's overjoyed at having one less task on his plate. He scans over the documents, approves the changes, and sends $Me off for an extra long lunch. $Me earns 1 logic skill point.
| $Me carefully reads through the speeches and finds a few typos, as well as some really awkward syntax. She dutifully marks the errors and suggests the proper changes, before returning the speeches to a relatively un-cluttered section of the controller's desk, along with a sticky note that says "Done". The entire process has taken her almost two hours, and when the controller returns, $Me's barely started on prioritizing the stack of paperwork. The controller chastises her and makes it clear that he needs an intern that will do what she's told first, and THEN spend whatever free time she has being industrious. $Me is sent back to work on the campaign phones.
|-
| $Me runs the speeches through the office scanner and sends the electronic versions to her desktop computer. After running some state-of-the-art optical character recognition, she plugs the documents into her word processor and lets the built-in grammar check do its thing. It finds only two verb-agreement issues and a couple of typos, and even though the changes it suggests are actually worse than the errors it's trying to fix, $Me makes the changes manually and sends the documents to the controller. He is so pleased to have soft copies of the speech, not to mention edited versions, that he channels some funds out of the inflated road repair budget and tells $Me to buy herself something nice. $Me earns §500 simoleons.
| $Me scans the documents, plugs them into her word processor and lets the built-in grammar check do its thing. Upon completion she sends the documents off to the controller without even double-checking (trusting in the wisdom of Microscotch's grammar-check). Apparently, the controller, trusting in $Me, sent the speeches off without reviewing them either, because a few hours later the controller gets an irate phone call from someone at the legislator's office. It seems as though the grammar check somehow managed to replace the entire contents of one of the speeches with the first two acts of "Titus Andronicus," and as inexplicable as it may be, $Me is fired for her mistake.
