Re: Why are we not able to switch career branches?

@SimStoppable2020

What you have run into has always been the case with the game. You could never switch to the other branch in any career.

But, if you have Discover University, there is now a way to make it happen. And that is to go to University and get a degree that applies to the career you want to switch to. Once you graduate, you will get more choices and be able to access the careers you couldn't before. You will enter at level 7 or 8 too. You can select it directly too. You do have to make sure you are selecting the right one though as there will be a new separate entry in the career selection panel for the jobs your degree lets you enter.

Hope this helps

Will that work with the new "Romance" career?

Using University degrees to change branches should work for the Romance career, just like any other career, as long as it has University degrees that provide advanced placement in those branches. Obviously it won't work if there aren't any degrees associated with the career.
I don't have Lovestruck, so I can't test it for you. You'll have to check for yoursefl whether any of the majors provide advanced placement in the Romance career.
