Because you asked nicely.
Lol, thanks, Windy!
Will take a look at that data and see if I can think of anything else you might find interesting enough to add to the options.
By the way, I have an Excel spreadsheet that I use to pre-plan a character's and his companions' development. 2.5 has completely ruined it (lol) but I will probably bash it back into shape once the stable build is released. Would you or anyone else be interested in it? Please be advised that it's nothing all that great or wonderful though.
Edit:
Here are some
Later Life options I have put together. Please feel free to use or ignore any of them:

(alternatively, 2 Trade and 1 Persuasion)

Craftsman/ artist (dexterity-based, unlike Smith)

30 1H weapon prof, 30 2H, 30 Pole
10 gold, 1H weapon, 2H weapon, Pole weapon, basic armour

2 CHA
1 First Aid (I'm assuming customers aren't always very nice)
4 Persuasion
5 1H weapon prof

3 Trainer (assuming academic teaching skill translates to military teaching skill... er....)
No weapon prof
15 gold, 2 books
Ok, so this one is a stretch....
I know I'm supposed to write up the background text as well, but I hope you don't mind if I work on that only after you indicate which ones you are possibly interested in.
