Cannot Switch Branch in Culinary Career After Use Mixology Certificate to Enter

I have been frustrated that there is no way for my sim to become a Chef after having entered the Mixology branch via the Mixology Certificate. The sim I am playing is Romeo. I believe he came premade in the Culinary career, and he was in level before it branches off. I cannot remember if I had him quit his job before doing this or not, but I had him take classes to get the Mixology degree, then he joined the Mixology career.

Now he cannot quit see any options to join the Culinary career, which makes me sad since Romeo dreams of Juliet... and of being a Celebrity Chef. 🤩 <sigh> 😭

What I expect to see...
Once the sim quits a job from one branch of the career I would assume that if they look for a job again they should have the option to re-join the branch at a point below where the career branches off since he entered that branch via a certificate. If nothing else, since he entered that branch via a certificate, I would expect that once he quits he should still see the Chef Career option.

I have all packs and am fully updated on Mac. Vsn. 1.124.63.1220

'Removed Mods' note: I don't really consider this a possible factor, but I just popped in the UI Cheats mod very briefly quite a while ago.

I can confirm that my sim who got a mixology certificate and got a job as a mixologist using that certificate can not join the culinary career at the bottom when he quits his job as a mixologist, he can only rejoin as a mixologist.
While I know that if you choose a branch through gameplay you can not go down below that branch to go the other way, however, if you join a career using a university degree, you can either join a branch directly using the related degree or join the underlying career at the bottom, which lets you do both branches (one of the advantages of doing a degree in DU). I would think that a mixology certificate should work the same way as a degree as you earn it with DU; i.e. once you quit your career you should be able to rejoin the culinary career or rejoin the mixology branch.
Note that I have all the packs/kits and play on Windows 10 and am on game version 1.124.63.1020.
