, but if your sim graduates with honors (GPA A+), the benefits will be the same as distinguished without honors.
That actually depends on which career you go into. For some careers graduation with a regular degree with honors start 1 career level lower than distinguished without honors. For some it even is the same career level start regardless of degree type and/or honor status. This page details them all.
You also lose out on the potential to earn the distinguished degree scholarships, so that's an additional downside.
Ah yes, of course. I forgot the scholarship sims will automatically get. Extra money for each distinguished degree qualification isn't bad, eh?
About careers, yes it is different. However, I have noticed a pattern. The level sim begins in depends on whether the career branches out early or late. If it branches out late (Painter for example, which branches out after level 6), whether you graduate with honors or not will not matter. However, what I have said earlier applies to those careers that branch out early (Critic for example, which branches out after level 3) and to active careers which won't branch out at all.
Then there is this oddball career called Astronaut. Because it branches out after level 7 (way too late), every sim with physics or villainy degree will start out at level 8, no matter if it is distinguished or not. Honors won't matter there at all.
I had to look back to one of my videos, which detailed it. I'll share it below at the timestamp the table is in.

Thanks for answering guys. I never knew those before. I'm so dumb. thanks.
You're not dumb. It's OK to not know things, and the best move to get rid of confusion is asking questions. The only thing I can suggest is enjoy the game. If you are curious about the expansion pack, you may watch the video I have shared for more info.
