I think it's a little disappointing that the highest we can start a career is level 8. I fondly remember starting careers at level 9 after TS2 University. Usually got a promotion the first day and maxed the career, too. My sims worked hard at university to get that kind of benefit and I was glad to make use of it.
I feel the same way about Discover University's job placement as I did about TS2. My sims worked hard to get into a distinguished degree program and finish it with honors, so I am happy to see them benefit from it. The higher the benefit, the happier it makes me.
There are several options if you prefer to start at a lower level. You could take the common degree instead of the distinguished degree. You could make sure that your sims don't earn honors. You could use cheats to demote your sims to level 6. Or, you could simply have them perform poorly at work in hopes of getting them demoted to the level you want. I think any of those options are preferable to having the developers nerf university for everyone.
