Summer 2017:
Zared Smith is 34, Carol is 31, Adam and Ethan are 6, Isabella is 3
(Dee Smith is 4, Baine Austin is 9)

Since there is already a psychology career on MTS (that focuses on criminal psychology), I labeled this one “Counseling Psychology” to differentiate it in case you have the other career installed also.

Spring 2017:
Jason Lloyd is 29
(Logan Gates-Watson is 27, Lilly Do is 28, Julie Lloyd is 59)

The sound of video games always fills the office at Newbie Games. Logan has become very good at blocking out the other noises as he focuses on the list of suggested improvements for the game he’s working on. Jason is in the testing phase of the project, so the only thing he’s focused on at his desk is getting past the current level he’s playing.
