Can’t complete quest because of hobbies

I'm getting the same problem with the new bar quest, it says you have to complete 2 career chapters to pass onto the next quest, I completed 1 and it never registered! I'm on 8 out of 18 quests and I have just over 2 days to complete it to get the reward but I think after all the problems i'm not going to bother with these quests anymore as it seems you're set up to fail, I've already used lots of my cupcakes to move on quicker but i don't think i'll waste anymore on something i can't win, I'll just carry on playing the game as normal and ignore all the competitions and quests, they're a waste of time and effort
