I have a similar issue (or perhaps this is a different on...?), in the culinary career. My mixologist reached 10 then wanted to quit to do the other branch. When he went to find a job in the culinary career track only mixologist was available & he started again at level 9. I made my sim join a totally different career for a few days & then tried again with no luck, mixologist being the only path available.
The original poster and this thread is calling out the bug that if you get beyond the decision point in a career track where you have to pick one of the two branches it forever remembers this, and when you rejoin the career it puts you at level 1 of that branch rather than level 6 of original career. Like instead of level 6 cooking you are level 1 mixologist or level 1 chef specialization. And if you try to advance to 10 in that branch you can't -- you get stuck at 4.
What you're saying here is that you are restricted to only choosing one branch of the two available -- that might not be a bug. That might be a feature. I'd LIKE it if I could do all careers on one sim, and all aspirations, but the way it seems to be set up is that you cannot.
I think they are two distinct items, and it'd need to be verified if it is intended or not that a sim be able to do both career forks/paths or not. If we're supposed to be able to then it is bugged.
