Not every sim is born to be astronaut, scientist or secret agent, so i've made this custom career which is "pretty normal" job-wise, but still a lovable and fun career, that can fit well into many storytelling gameplays.
It's an 11 level (sorry, i just couldn't leave that one thing out of it ;D) rabbithole career, salary set on the low end of maxis standards. Main skills are Gardening and Gourmet Cooking, with "excursions" into other skills, to provide a bit of variety while advancing the career. Get To Work is required to play this career mod, as well as the Neia_Careers_Commons.package which is included in the zip file.
The career was created with Neias Create-A-Career tool BETA, so no job outfits, daily tasks, or rewards.
Career Details:
Sims start out as Market Hand at a daily farmer's market, and later can choose between branches Deli Foods Dealer or Market Management.
The skill requirements i chose are reflecting the knowledge about the different wares they're selling, how and where they're grown or produced.
Market Vendor: The hustle and bustle of the daily farmer's market, custormers haggling or chatting, enjoying the colors and scents of countless fresh groceries, or drinking a fair-trade coffee at the barista-stall - this place is a center of local life, like markets were since the medieval times, and diligent employees are always welcome.
Level 1: Market Hand 13$/h As market hand you carry lots of crates back and forth and see to it that the market stalls are in stock. At the end of each day your palms are sweaty, your knees are weak, and your arms are heavy, but you quit going to the gym.already. Work: - T W T F S - 5am -1 pm Mood: Energized Objectives: Gardening 2, Fitness 2
Level 2: Tasting Tray Carrier 18$/h The tasting trays are not as heavy as the crates, but sometimes you feel uncomfortable asking anyone who's passing by if they want a taste sample. At least you never go hungry, and there's some really good stuff you get to try. Work: - T W T F S - 5am -1 pm Mood: Energized Objectives: Gardening 3, Charisma 2
Level 3: Flower Seller 25$/h The colors and mixed scents of all the cut flowers you sell at the stall make you happy, even when skys are gray.

Level 4: Organic Vegetable Vendor 32$/h Buying pure, dew sprinkled freshness is what most people come for at the farmer's market.

Level 6: Handicrafts Merchant 46$/h Every farmer's market has one of those stalls full of all that hand made baskets, jugs, potpourris, small rustic paintings and other plunder people tend to clutter their homes with.

Deli Foods Dealer: Ah, the wonderful world of deli foods and gourmet cooking, rare ingredients like truffles and caviar. Only the best merchants attract the attention of VIPs and star cooks as their customers, as not only the finest wares, but also the friendliest service is critical.
Level 7: Exotic Fruits Seller 53$/h From salvadoradian avocados to shang simlan dragonfruit, your stall is the place to come to, if you want to buy a little vacation-feeling or want to make an extraordinairy dessert.

Level 10: Gourmet Cheese Dealer 90$/h You really have to be a connoisseur to enjoy the odor of some of those cheeses, let alone the taste.

Work: - T W - F S - 5am -1 pm Mood: Confident Objectives: Charisma 7, Gourmet Cooking 8
Level 11: Nectar Merchant 99$/h Selling nectar is the royal discipline of merchants.

Market Manager: Behind every successful farmer's market, there is a long row of well oiled machinery. Most of the wares come from regional farms and companies, some have to be imported from other countries, especially regarding deli foods. Food safety has to be kept, orders to be made in time, new suppliers and shipping service providers aquired. Idlers won't stay long in this kind of job.
Level 7: Market Overseer 55$/h Someone needs to keep order in terms of what goes where, when new wares are delivered in the early morning, how much space each vendor gets in the market, and that no rubbish clutters the area, to give customers a good shopping experience.

Level 10: Quality Manager 93$/h As your title tells, you look to it that no cheap or old products find their way into your storage and stalls, as the market has a good reputation to lose.

career cheat is (for now): careers.promote 11184596174668413499 which is the career ID, as the game doesn't like the simple word vendor for some weird reason.
And, as always, leave me some feedback on how you liked playing the career, also if you run into any trouble.
