I use the brain machine's 'study brain' for my sims to gain Nerd levels. It works pretty fast and I use that for my sims to get their social group trait quickly. I had a household of teens get their social group trait from using the brain machine over the course of a single day. I was using Relativity at 19 which probably had something to do with it but regardless I find it the easiest way to gain social group levels.
The Opportunistic LTR doubles opportunity rewards. That includes visa points from WA adventures. Add in the Prepared Traveler LTR and at least 5-6 Potent Invigorating Elixirs (so, no need to sleep) and my sims can often get visa level 3 on their first trip to a WA world.
University jobs are also opportunities. With the Opportunistic LTR sims will get double the money from day jobs. I'll have my sim look for the Organ Donation one on all of the job boards around town and make money that way at university. The Organ Donation usually pays 3500 and with the Opportunist LTR it pays 7000 simoleons. Each job board seems to have it's own day job list and my sims can usually pick up between 1-4 Organ Donation jobs a day. Possibly relevant though: that's with Traveler installed which I recently learned affects the job boards in some way according to the mod's revision notes.
When I want a sim so learn a skill level quickly (particularly levels 9 and 10) I'll have them listen to the tabcast for that skill while reading the same skill book at the library. I don't think it's my imagination - they do seem to learn faster than just reading alone.
