I've been exploiting the loophole that allows you to get the rewards over and over again by reapplying for the job after removing the career rewards from the Sim's reward panel.
I have the journalism and adventurer awards in every bedroom and in all skilling rooms on most of my lots. It's nice to be able to send them to bed, dragging their ass and in the red, at 2AM and then have them awake 4 hours later totally in the green.
