    Student Sims will no longer be labeled as Graduate after completing the Graduation Ceremony. Congratulations!

    Fixed in Patch 1.63.133

    Please be aware that this fix most probably doesn't affect already bugged NPCs

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.59.73.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim complete a degree at either university
What happens when the bug occurs? The earned degree does not apply to the job my sim gets after graduating.
What do you expect to see? My sim should start careers that correspond with the degree earned at university at a higher level
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

My sims earn degrees at university and then when that apply for a job that corresponds with the degree they earned, they don't receive any bonus or automatic promotions.

@madry1216 There's several issues with degrees going on so a few questions:

- Did you play the Sim at the time of graduation and do you have the actual degree showing in your Sim Panel ?
- Do you just see scientist in the career panel or also the higher levels directly ? Could you scroll through all the available jobs to see if there's anything else that applies to scientist ?
- Do you actually still have classes showing up in your panel as shown on your picture ?
- Do you receive the higher career levels for the other two careers (astronaut and engineer) ?

    @crinrict - The picture I included was my sim's husband's degree and job status. My female sim has a degree in drama, which does show up in her Simology panel, but still she had to start her social media job at level one. Her husband's physics degree was in his job panel and he also started at level 1 of his scientist career  Yes, I did play the sim with the drama degree at the time of graduation.

    - There was nothing in the career panel telling me that any of the careers would be affected by the degree that my sim possessed.

    -There is no classes in my female sim's panel (drama degree) but the picture showed her husband's degree under class schedule in the career panel.

    -No. I tried joining the engineer career first for the sim with the physics degree and when he ddn't receive the benefits in that career, I had him quit and join the scientist career and he started level one in that career too.

        @crinrict I would gladly share the save, but I have no idea how to do that. Step by step directions would greatly help me. Also, I have since added my mods/cc back into my game and I advanced my drama sim's career using MCCC and I chose the public relations branch of her career instead of the internet personality branch. The Scientist is no longer in the household.

      @madry1216Let me guess ...
      Wife: you selected base career instead of branch (additional green icon, red benefit text)
      Husband: for some reason he didn't get his degree (simology) and now is stuck with a completed major in his job panel (it should disappear 24h after receiving final grades) - you just said you did control the drama sim (wife) in the relavant phase but what about your future scientist?

      p.s. Acting career mentions no benefits even though you start at a higher level (6-8) with drama degree

        @kusurusu I did not control the scientist. They met in the dorms and got married after she graduated. I never had options to select a branch in either of the sim's career fields. The drama degree sim is in the social media career, not the acting career.
