@Nh6650 You are correct in that your Sim should start with a higher level. My Sim graduated & started Education career at level 6 or 7.
However, in another Save, my Sim graduated and started at a lower level. By any chance does your Sim have the Connections trait? I'm wondering if that trait may be causing the issue since that gives your Sims a slight career boost as well.
My Sim that graduated and entered a career at high level successfully didn't have this trait.....my other Sim who graduated and started at lower level, had this trait. Not sure if there is any connection to that, but strange that it worked as intended for one of my Sims and not the other....as you say....Uni is rough...to put in the effort and not the get the reward is frustrating. Perhaps, cheat her career level to the intended level? Technically isn't not cheating, since she should have started higher - but I get your point it's definitely not working as intended.
