@JonaO703 I'm moving this to general discussion as feedback. It's always been like this so it's not a bug.
It is now actually possible to change career path if you go to uni to get a degree for the other path.

- @JonaO703 If you don't get a prompt to choose, then that would be a bug. You should always be prompted.
There's been lots of feedback on this since the game came out but for some reason, the devs decided to go this route.
It's good to give feedback about it but it's not a bug.
Just saying while there wasn't any options before, there is now one (to my knowledge demoting doesn't get rid of the branch)@crinrict Perhaps there is a bug with in-game events occurring during a transition to travel or to manage worlds. Just a few minutes ago, I had one sim traveling home just as another sim in the household returned home with a promotion. The notification popped up in the worlds view; "Traveling with...". Fortunately, this sim is further along in his career track so there wouldn't have been any prompt for action. These in-game notifications haven't been an issue before since I've only noticed things like mail being delivered.
I get what you're saying that the lack of an option to change branches isn't a bug. However, I stand by what I said before. Going back to uni just to change branches is less than ideal. I guess I'll just have to hope the developers change their minds and give us an option to change at any time.
You're right about the demote cheat. I went into an older save and tested it on two different sims. In both cases, demote caused the sims to be fired (which by the way gave them both a 24 hour Sad +3 moodlet). When I had them find a job again, the only available option for their careers was the level they had before they were fired.
Thanks again! I really do appreciate your help.
