Career Info - Calculator and Data

Career Calculator - Make a copy to use! Contains one tab for calculating purely based off the career stats, and another for purely off PS. Doesn't take personality into account yet because I'm still collecting data and will likely be doing so for a while. I also need to confess that I don't actually know how much PS contributes other than that the wiki says it's used at a "very low weight", and I don't take it into account when assigning my own horses to careers.
Career Data - Make a copy to use! It's the sheet I use daily for my own horses, containing the calculator based on career stats, plus several tabs with data on how much money I've seen my horses make in their careers.
I have a tab for each level of career. Each data tab contains a list of every possible personality combination (one on each row), and three columns for each available career - for the minimum, maximum, and median amounts I've seen a horse with a given personality make in that career. At the end of each row there is an additional column where I've put what I think the best option is for that personality, given the data I have so far. If I've tested with 4/5 careers, that option will have a question mark at the end, if I've tested with all of them it won't, and if I've tested with 3 or fewer careers the space is left empty.
Sometimes cells will be highlighted in light yellow! You can ignore this - it's just me marking that I've added data to a row and haven't checked or updated the "best" column yet.
Fair warning: my data is probably a bit skewed! I only train horses in Endurance and Barrel Racing, so the careers that use similar PS will probably be giving me slightly higher money values than the ones that don't. (Specifically, my values for Therapy and Lesson careers might be a bit higher than normal)
I welcome anyone to take a look at what I've gathered and see if they can come to any useful conclusions! I'm trying but I'm not sure I'm smart enough to figure out any definite... advice.

Update: Added a tab to the calculator, meant to help decide what career to enter a horse in based on their discipline. It's my best guess based on how the disciplines weight their stats.

Thank you for sharing your calculator and career data! I'll have to change careers on some of my horses for the future, but for now I only have the one career open to them. This will help get them going on the right track in the future though!
You're welcome! Honestly, even the "worst" career option for a given personality is still profitable if you do the career at least twice - it's just that some are better than that.
And collecting data is just something I enjoy anyway, so I may as well put it out there in case people find it helpful.
(Edit: also, thanks for reminding me this thread existed, it prompted me to actually update a couple things I'd been procrastinating on)

Update: added Vaulting to the "By Discipline" tab of the Career Calculator sheet.
Still need to remember to write up some general guidelines for what careers seem to be better if you have certain personality letters, but I haven't had the energy to do a lot of Horse Fable stuff lately.

No major updates, just bumping with a post in case the information already gathered helps someone.

No major updates recently, but bumping with a post to hopefully keep this visible for anyone who needs it.
