Feel free to add your own.I don't think any of those are even tied with university life are they??? most of the other careers you mentioned are from previous expansion packs apart from the university ones.What the OP means is if you want a certain job, your sim goes into a certain field. Doctors would go into technology related classes for ex. and actresses would go into fine arts type of classes.

My question was which degree helps with which career. I'm sorry that you didn't understand what I was talking about.

I would think "Fortune Teller" would make more sense underneath Communication or Fine Arts (fortune telling is a form of art)

The acting career is an art... so that's where it'd be.

It could work. I still want to know how the degrees connect with the careers.

The sports agent career needs a business degree. I just figured that out because of the briefcase behind the ball and the fact that a physical education degree is only good for professional sports.

The sports agent career is actually done by maxing out the jock social group. There's one for the nerds and one for the rebels too.

Actually, Carl has a guide for this:
https://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/universitylife/majors-gettingadegree.php
Scroll down to 'Sims University Majors, Performance, and Career Bonuses'

Several careers are completely unaffected, which is a shame because I want to send one of my Sims through the Private Investigator career but there is no degree that effects it. I think I just realized, it's actually PROFESSIONS that are unaffected. PI is a profession, not a career.

@Cassie1864 - This thread goes back to from before the Uni EP for TS3 was even released, so some of what was posted near its beginning was more conjecture/wish list.

Anyway, for those so inclined, the NRaas Careers mod Academics add-on module assigns degree benefits to the self-employed careers and professions.
