Citizen Career

Can someone explain how this is supposed to work? Do you get 4 skills per term plus one Job skill and one Hobby skill, or do you keep rolling each term to accumulate additional, separate Job and Hobby skills? I'm confused on how to proceed with this one. Also, what is the Continue number?

"If Citizen life Succeeds…
"First Success provides a Job, randomly on Citizen Life Skills and Knowledges with Skill-4 (later receipts are Skill-1). Second Success provides a Hobby selected from Citizen Life Skills and Knowledges with Skill-2 (later receipts are Skill-1).
"Once determined, Job and Hobby cannot be changed. In subsequent Terms, successes alternate between Job or Hobby skill levels." - p. 58

It seems pretty clear to me that your first term you get 4 ranks in your Job skill, your second term you get 2 ranks in your Hobby skill, your third term you get 1 more rank in the same Job skill, your fourth term you get 1 more rank in the same Hobby skill, and so on. The "Per table" notation under Skill Eligibility isn't really accurate; "See text" might be more appropriate. And, obviously, you'd also get to roll for 4 more skills as noted under Skill Eligibility.

Per the checklist on p. 52, the Continue roll is 10-; hopefully this is on the errata list.

Okay, that clarifies things a bit. I wasn't sure if the further successes were to be rolled on after another in the same term. That could be clarified a good bit.
