Does anyone know? I used the search function but could not find any current topics on the Education career - and definitely no topics specifically related to University and the Education career.As far as I can tell, there are currently two jobs not supported by a University education: the Criminal career, and the Education career. I can see it for the Criminal path, but Education? Yikes. Our Sims really need to have their Educators educated.I think the Education career could be boosted by the Communications major, but it's no doubt too late to add it in the game.All the Ambitions jobs and all self-employed jobs are missing, too. I guess these career paths rely on the University of Life. :D UPDATE: June 18th - The new patch gives a boost to the Education career for any degree obtained at University. That is terrific news - thank you so much!! :D

My sims in Sims3 are asked to do exactly this when they return from university with a degree.Really? I thought that was only beneficial for the special three Uni careers related to the social groups -- Art Appraiser, Game Developer, Sports Agent. Hmm, maybe I really ought to play this game a little more often myself. :)

@Turjan - Yes, but I thought my sim just having the degree grants those benefits, outside of the three special careers. I would have noticed if the starting out benefits were ever missing. The part I'm not remembering is the actual resume upload procedure. You're probably right, but I'll check into it. :)

They didn't add the Careers for Ambitions because not Everyone has it. So you won't be able to have skills that are in there done however you can work your way around them.

^ Yet they added the Fortune Teller career (Supernatural) and the Film career (Late Night). I saw it on a screenshot.

What is the Major for the Education Career? Answered Via New Patch - Thank You Sims 3 Team!! :)

I'm sure that our Sims can get the necessary skills needed for the education career while college even though there won't be a degree related to education.

I would just use your imagination, even though there isn't a specific major for them. For example, have them take Fine Art and pretend they're an art teacher or whatever.

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that the Criminal Career is supported by the Business major.

They don't have an Education major, period, which in itself sucks, and I can't imagine why the Sim team left that out. It's got nothing to do with not having Ambitions, either. It's just sheer laziness on their part. Somebody wasn't doing their homework.

The closest you're going to get for an education major is physical education, and in real life that just qualifies you to be a coach and an physical edcuation teacher.

What about the communications major? I wonder will that help with the Education career.

I'm sure it won't take long for a modder to create some more majors to fill the gaps EA left.

These were posted on Sims VIP:

Business Major:
- Business
- Criminal (oops! there that one is!)

Technology Major:
- Military
- Law Enforcement

Science & Medicine Major:
- Science
- Medicine

Fine Arts Major:
- Music
- Culinary
- Film

Communications Major:
- Journalism
- Political
- Fortune telling

Physical Education Major:
- Sports

So yes, as previously pointed out there are careers from other Expansion Packs that will benefit from the Majors at University. It still remains that there is no Major for the Education career and I agree with Jarsie that this is a huge oversight. I run two of Twallan's mods and I'm happy keeping those up to date. I do not want to run a separate mod for such a specific feature of an EP, namely - the Majors that are one of the main purposes for going to University.

Optimistic me - I am hoping this might be rectified later with a patch as I'm sure there will be a patch within a month or two of the EP's release. :-)
