Cepheus Engine Generic Career Table

I lament that there are no career and life events for Cepheus Engine. So I looked over the various career events from Mongoose Traveller 1e (MgT) and made a generic one. It's very basic right now. It's tough to get specific like MgT did when you're using the same table for space Marines, colonists and scientists.  Since I've got another method for career events that I'm going to detail in an upcoming post, this event table is not likely going to be developed further. I didn't want to let it rot, though, so I humbly present it to you now, knowing full well what it is:

Roll 2d6
2: Disaster! Roll on the mishap table but you're not ejected from the career.
3: Gain a rival; Roll on the Basic Training table and gain an Enemy; or choose a result from the Basic Training table and gain 1d3 Enemies.
4: Gain one Rival or roll on the Specialist table and gain 1d3 Rivals.
5: Roll on the Specialist table and gain a Contact.
6: Gain a skill from the first three results on the Specialist table at level 1.
7: Roll on the Life Event Table.
8: Gain a skill from the first last results on the Specialist table at level 1.
9: Roll on the Personal Development table and gain an Ally.
10: Roll on the Advanced Education skill table for your career.
11: You do exceedingly well. Recieve a +4 DM to your next Advancement roll or a +2 DM to your next Survival roll.
12: You are automatically promoted (or, in a career without rank, choose a result from Personal Development, Specialist, or Advanced Education tables and increase said characteristic or skill).
