The Education Career is just one of three brand new careers that come with The Sims 4 Discover University. The career itself comes with two branches.
As with any career, your Sim can join the Engineer Career simply by sitting down at a laptop/computer, using their cell phone or by the job tab on the user interface. You should keep in mind that if your Sim has completed a degree that relates to the chosen career that your Sim is joining, they have the option to either start at the lowest level or at a higher point in the career. You will also notice that your Sim will receive a higher hourly rate and a signing bonus (which is only awarded once per Sim every seven days) and also more vacation days.
Once you have joined the career you will be greeted with a pop up asking you if you wish to start the first Work From Home Assignment/Work Assignment/Daily Task. You can either start it right away or hold off and do it at a time that suits your Sim better. Just make sure it is completed as soon as possible every time.
Note: If you are not sure what your Sims work from home assignment is or what you need to do you, can head to the Career panel and there will be a section for Work From Home Assignments/Work Assignment. Hover over the required task and it will let you know how to complete it.
When it is time for your first shift you will be presented with another small pop up which asks you if you want your Sim to Go To Work, Work from Home or Take Paid Time Off (PTO). The choice is up to you. If you choose to Go To Work or Work From Home you will still be working towards your Sims next promotion. If you choose to Take PTO your Sim can go about their day however they please. If you choose to Work From Home make sure you check the Career Panel to see what tasks your Sim needs to complete during the day.

Let us know what you think about the new Education Career below in the comments!
What degree do you have to take ??
I took Psychology and started this career at level 7 if I remember correctly.
My Padfolio isn’t in my Inventory and it isn’t a purchasable item! What can I do?
You can buy it from a book shelf!
I have completed a psychology degree but I am unable to jump further ahead in the education pathway. Any ideas why?
I’m having the same problem.
I’ve joined as a adjunct professor, but I do not have the education sub-menu on the computer. Any ideas how to fix?
I dont have an education career sub men anywhere
neither do i! i restarted the game, quit and rejoined the career. i can’t think of any other way to get this to work!
It won’t let me grade homework?
I’m also having this issue, so my Sim can’t get promoted.
I have always wanted to be a teacher! And now I can like my mom!!!!
how do you plan lessons .. there is no option for it on the computer
I’m having this problem too
I found it. Its must be a typo. It’s actually “plan lecture”. I’ve tested it and it works. Work from home task is now checked as completed.
My sim lost his padfolio and now I can’t find it anywhere
where can I find the portfolio because its not in my inventory
I can’t find the interaction for “lesson plan.” I looked under Career, Education as directed. Do you have to be a certain level of Writing or Logic or something?
