PlayingThe Sims 4is a ton of fun. It only becomes more and more fun with each Expansion Pack, Game Pack, and Stuff Pack that’s added to the game. Most recently,Discover Universitywas added and gave our Sims the ability to seek higher education and go to one of two different universities after they become a young adult! Term papers, student loans, and eating junk food like pizza rolls in their dorm room was added and is so much fun.

But, after a Sim graduates from university, they need to find a career and get out into the real world. Each university has their own organizations, degrees, and distinguished degrees. This means that the university a Sim chooses to attend can really impact their future career! To see thebest career for a Sim, based on the university they attended, keep reading!
Updated November 4th, 2022, by Rain Egan:Picking the right career for a Sim can be a tough decision, especially with all the choices the newer expansion packs have added. It only seems right that after studying for so long, a Sim should have a career that lines up with their newly-earned degree.
Three years on from Discover University’s release, players have a greater sense of which University degrees line up with which careers. There are also significantly more careers to choose from with the game’s increasing number of expansion and game packs. With that in mind, this list has been refreshed to include four new options for Simmers.
19Britechester: Simfluencer
While this degree offers no tangible reward for the Simfluencer career, players that are interested in telling a well-rounded story may want to consider sending their Sims to Britechester to study Communications before they settle down into their newfound role.
In real life, a Communications degree teaches many skills that an influencer would need, so it makes sense that it’sThe Sims 4counterpart would do the same. The Simfluencer career is exclusive tothe High School Years expansion, so it may be unfamiliar to some players.
18Foxbury: Doctor
Sims hoping to become Doctors will benefit greatly from the Biology degree at Foxbury! Being the more tech-oriented University, it’s no surprise that Foxbury is the University for Doctors, as the career requires a lot of machinery and modern tech.
With a standard Biology degree, Sims will receive a signing bonus and start at Level Six in their Doctor career and at Level Seven if they graduate with honors. Sims that complete a distinguished Biology degree, however, will start their career at Level Seven, and at Level Eight if they graduate with honors.
17Britechester: Actor
Sims with stars in their eyes should look no further than the Drama degree from Britechester! As with the Biology degree, graduating from this course can give a Sim a serious advantage when starting their career as an actor, as well as landing them a significant signing bonus.

Acting is also one of the activeThe Sims 4: Get Famouscareers, meaning the player can choose to accompany their Sim to auditions and gigs. Recommended skills are Acting and Charisma, which Sims are sure to master during their University years.
16Foxbury: Bodybuilder
For gym rat Sims, there isn’t a specific Athletics degree, but the Biology degree will fast-track any athlete’s career. Specifically, completing the Biology degree will allow a Sim to start the Bodybuilder career at Level Six, Seven, or Eight depending on their GPA and distinguished degree status.
The Bodybuilder career starts at $47/hour, and through career progression, a Sim could be looking at $500/hour at max level. Considering that this is more than Doctors make at max level inThe Sims 4, this career path is certainly worth considering.
15Britechester: Business Manager
Britechester is a modern, beautiful campus that resembles new and innovative schools in North America. It makes sense that a student from Britechester would pursue a corporate career as a manager of a business. After all,the campus hasthe feel of a top college for aspiring professionals.
Although, it is not quite as pretentious as the Ivy League school ofThe Sims 4. Managers get paid a ton of money and are usually viewed in a positive light by the community. For those that prefer Britechester, being a Business Manager is a smart choice.
14Foxbury: Villain Secret Agent
Although the gothic theme of the Foxbury campus reminds us of acclaimed colleges around the world, evil people can be geniuses too. Instead of using stealth and deception for good, gamers should opt to go the evil route.

The intelligent, calculating students of Foxbury fit the mold of a criminal mastermind. As a villain spy, Sims receive one of the highest hourly rates in the game. Crime really does pay for those that don’t mind blurring the lines of legality.
13Britechester: Stylist
Surprisingly, Stylists rake in a ridiculously high hourly wage. While it may not be the right profession for everyone, being a Stylist is fun for those that are into beauty and fashion. Students from Britechester seem to possess the necessary character traits to be post graduate stylists.
Both of the universities offer programs for doctoral studies, but it is hard to imagine a Stylist going to Foxbury. Giving other Sims a makeover has never been so rewarding.
12Foxbury: Interstellar Smuggler
Again, for some reason Foxbury students seem to match the villain role better. Interstellar Smugglers are of course exceptionally smart people for having mastered the art of space travel. They are also not inherently bad. Take Han Solo for example.
These Foxbury students are astronomically good hustlers. Gamers that do not mind getting their hands dirty will be able to afford whatever they want as an Interstellar Smuggler inSims 4.
11Britechester: Space Ranger
On the opposite end o the spectrum, Britechester students will make great astronauts. Sims from Britechester are smart, but even more courageous and outgoing. Those that attended Britechester will be able to make a stable career out of exploring space.

It may not pay as well as being a bad guy, but it will be just as interesting. Players that love space should choose this career if they are dead set on attending Britechester, as it is one of the coolest jobs to have in the game.
10Foxbury: Scientist
Foxbury is one of the two universities that Sims can choose for their time as a student. Foxbury is the newer of the two choices and is definitely a lot more modern than its counterpart.
If a Sim is seriously into science, and they want to go into that career path, the player should build up their skills before they’re sent away to Foxbury. Foxbury has Physics as one of their distinguished degree options, so they’ll want to build their logic and other relevant skills before they apply so that they can take on the program and get that sweet bonus when they start their life in the science career.
