		<description>Don&#039;t quote me on it (it honestly has been a while since I&#039;ve gone thru college since I had to restart my neighborhood a while back, and have just recently gotten to playing sims after rebuilding everything, and even then, only a couple of the families that come with the neighborhood/business district), but I always thought it was that the career level you start at after graduation is based on the degree&#039;s relation to that career.  In the booklet that came with University it has a thing with each degree, including which careers it&#039;s a major and minor for.  So if your sim is a poli sci major, and goes into politics, that would give them the biggest boost, since that&#039;s the career it&#039;s a major for, whereas military career it&#039;s a minor, thus you&#039;d get a little less of a boost in starting career level (at a guess, halfway and a quarter way up respectively).  Get a job with nothing to do with your degree, and I figured you&#039;d start at the bottom.  But again, don&#039;t quote me on that, as I also have sims get degrees in the field they&#039;re going to get a job in later, so I&#039;ve never tried anything other than majoring in a degree.</description>
