University degree effect on existing career

You won't get an automatic promotion and I don't think you'll get the other benefits either. Best choice is probably to quit and start the career over. That will get you a signing bonus and ensure that you get the higher pay and faster vacation days that you've earned.

I don't know if you use mods, but if you do, you could get Kuttoe's Career Overhaul Suite. It adds such requirements for job promotions to the game. :)

Thanks both! Then she'll quit her old job. I'll just pretend she got a new and better job with another employer :) Not graduated yet, so there's time to fix it.
