How to Get the Job Rewards on The Sims 2

Every career in "The Sims 2" has a reward attached to it. When a Sim gets promoted to a midlevel job in a career, a Career Reward becomes available for placement in the Sim's home. Each Career Reward affects a specific skill by making it easier to earn points in that skill while using the reward object. So earning Skill points by using a reward object can make getting promotions to high level jobs a little easier.
