Careers Forum HQ
This thread shows you information for all of the threads in the Career Forum. It will be a help if you are new to this sub-forum and you're wondering what it's about, or maybe you're looking for specific genres of thread to read about, E.G - You only want to read about journeyman save games. In this sub-forum there are many save games, some you may never have visited, there's over 35 on this list, so in theory there should be some you are interested in! The list below shows all of the thread's on this forum with at least 20 posts, split into different categories.
If anyone has any issues with their save game's 'category' then please post and I will change it. There was no real special reason for 20 posts, I had to set the benchmark somewhere because I didn't want to mess around putting every single thread on the list, only for it to be abandoned soon after. I haven't included any closed threads either, as I presume they were all abandoned.
If you do want a thread added/updated, then post in here and I will add it/update it ASAP.
