The Sims 4 Discover University: Education Career Guide
Presented by EA Game Changers
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.

The Sims 4 Education Career
Guide: should you become an administrator or professor in discover university.
You can become either a Professor or Administrator if you pursue a Career in Education.
Career Quick Links
The Education Career is new in The Sims 4 Discover University. This career lets you choose between one of two branches - Administrative or Professor. So you either teach students or run the school. Both get a teacher's desk, apple clock and award they can hang on the wall. This career relies heavily on the new Research and Debate skill that came with the Expansion. It's a nice skill focused on learning and convincing others. As a work from home career, Education offers some flexibility in how the job gets done.
How to: Education Career Cheats Press Control + Shift + C then type testingcheats on and press enter. You can now get promotions with careers.promote education - you can also see all Career Cheats or visit a full list of Cheats in The Sims 4 .
Getting Started
Early levels.
Education is a work from home career, meaning you can choose not to go into work and instead complete a couple tasks. You get paid the same, but performance is gained a bit later. You'll need to use the Teacher's Portfolio you can find in your Sim's inventory to grade papers. If you happen to lose your Teacher's book, you can find one at a bookshelf under 'Homework Books'.
Teachers all unlock the desk and apple clock you will see in the pictures for Administrator and Professor found below. Overall this is a fairly simple career that will be made much easier if you get ahead of the two logic levels. Because of its steady Monday to Friday shifts advancement can be fairly rapid with a good routine.
Teachers are able to eventually tutor students online to make a little side cash, but it's not much. They can teach Health, Technology, Art, Communication, and Entertainment.
Education Career Levels 1-5
Rank | Job | Wages | Schedule | $/Day | Daily Task & Promotion Requirements | Reward for Promotion |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Substitute Teacher | $22/hour | Mon-Fri 8AM-4PM | $176 | Grade Homework in Teacher's Portfolio | N/A |
2 | Teaching Assistant | $32/hour | Mon-Fri 8AM-4PM | $256 | Grade Homework in Teacher's Portfolio, Reach Level 2 Research and Debate Skill | $425, A is for Apple Clock |
3 | Teacher | $38/hour | Mon-Fri 8AM-4PM | $304 | Grade Homework in Teacher's Portfolio, Reach Level 3 Research and Debate Skill | $475, The Teacher's Desk |
4 | Mentor Teacher | $44/hour | Mon-Fri 8AM-4PM | $352 | Grade Homework in Teacher's Portfolio, Reach Level 4 Research and Debate Skill, Level 2 Logic Skill | $525, The World is Your Oyster |
5 | Department Head | $56/hour | Mon-Fri 8AM-4PM | $448 | Grade Homework in Teacher's Portfolio, Reach Level 5 Research and Debate Skill, Level 2 Charisma Skill |
Administrator Branch
The Administrator Branch focuses mostly on the budgeting side of education. As such, a lot of their work from home tasks will revolve around using the computer to review budget proposals, plan agendas for meetings, and writing recommendation letters. Planning an agenda makes Sims confident, as does Create Lesson Plan, but only for about 3 hours. Creating a lesson plan raises logic, while many of the others raise Research and Debate. I suppose this is nice, as at times when you work from home the very tasks you'll have to do will help keep you moving along in R&D. Here are the career levels and when you unlock various things (mainly at the first and last levels).
Administrator Career
Rank | Job | Wages | Schedule | $/Day | Daily Task & Promotion Requirements | Reward for Promotion |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
6 | Student Services Officer | $100/hour | Mon-Fri 9AM-5PM | $800 | Review Budget Proposals, Reach Level 6 Research and Debate, Level 3 Charisma | $1,000, Review Budget Proposals Ability, Ask for Donation, Plan Agenda for Faculty Meeting, and Write Grants Interactions |
7 | Dean of Admissions | $125/hour | Mon-Fri 9AM-5PM | $1,000 | Review Budget Proposals, Reach Level 7 Research and Debate, Level 4 Charisma | $3,500 |
8 | Director of Academics | $170/hour | Mon-Fri 9AM-5PM | $1,360 | Review Budget Proposals, Reach Level 8 Research and Debate, Level 5 Charisma | $2,500, Memories of Graduation |
9 | Vice-Chancellor | $255/hour | Tue-Fri 10AM-5PM | $1,785 | Review Budget Proposals, Reach Level 9 Research and Debate, Level 6 Charisma | $3,200 |
10 | Head Chancellor | $325/hour | Tue-Thu 10AM-4PM | $1,950 | Review Budget Proposals | $3,150, Learning Embetterment Award |
Professor Branch
A male Professor in the max-level clothing for their field. The awards hanging are about all they receive in terms of new objects.
Professor Career
Rank | Job | Wages | Schedule | $/Day | Daily Task & Promotion Requirements | Reward for Promotion |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
6 | Intrepid Instructor | $72/hour | Mon-Wed, Fri 9AM-4PM | $504 | Write Scholarly Paper, Reach Level 6 Research and Debate, Level 3 Logic | $975, New Clothes |
7 | Lead Lecturer | $110/hour | Mon-Tue, Thu-Fri 9AM-4PM | $770 | Write Scholarly Paper, Reach Level 7 Research and Debate, Level 4 Logic | |
8 | Adjunct Professor | $135/hour | Mon-Thu 9AM-4PM | $945 | Write Scholarly Paper, Reach Level 8 Research and Debate, Level 5 Logic | $2,250 |
9 | Tenured Professor | $175/hour | Tue-Thu 10AM-4PM | $1,050 | Write Scholarly Paper, Reach Level 9 Research and Debate, Level 6 Logic | $2,850 |
10 | Master Educator | $265/hour | Tue-Thu 10AM-4PM | $1,590 | Write Scholarly Paper | $3,150, Learning Embetterment Award |
Overall the difference in these two careers is not very great as far as I'm able to tell. One focuses more on Logic , the other on Charisma . Neither had any fantastic rewards for me to discover. Let us know if we missed something!

Quick question. Any suggestion on University majors that help out education career later?
(PS thanks for all your hard work for us)
Look on this page (click) where you will see all the degrees with which career they boost listed in the same box.
The Practice Lecturer link doesn't seem to work (for me). It says it is in the friendly interaction but I am yet to find it when clicking on other sims. Any suggestions? My boss is disappointed with my work.
Instead of doing what it tells you to do, just click on a mirror and you should find the practice lecture prompt.
I'm stuck. For the Professor Career you say the "Work from Home" assignment is 'Ask to Volunteer' and 'Practice Lecture'.. Not in my game. Mine is 'Practice Lecture' and 'Conduct Research'. The latter of which I can not get to complete. No matter WHAT I RESEARCH. I have asked other sims to volunteer.. Nothing! I have used the computer, mirror, gardening NOTHING.. HELP! I'm currently a Lead Lecturer at level 7 of career, logic is 10, debate skill 9, charisma 8.. I'm stuck
Try saving then quitting out of your game. Then delete the localthumbcache.package file from your The Sims4 folder.
You need the special Research computer in order to fulfill that requirement.
If one of my sims is a professor, and another is a student, will the professor appear as a possible professor for a student? Thanks.

Sims 4 teacher career: how to become a renowned academic and advance in education career.
Are you thinking of joining Education Career in Sims 4? The teacher career has a lot to offer to those who are ambitious to become respected academics. Read on to find out more about how to get this job, what to expect from it, and how to climb the ladder to success!
what is the teacher career in Sims 4?
Teacher career, or Education career, as it’s originally called in the game, is one of the three full-time career choices that came with Sims 4: Discover University . Sims who aspire to work hard and reach higher positions in this field can end up in one of the two cool branches: The Administrator branch and the Professor branch . Both come with unique tasks, and both offer fabulous rewards. If you chose to take the career path of an academic in Sims 4, expect to tackle these daily tasks:
- Grade homework in teachers’ portfolio
- Improve your Research and debate skills
- Work on improving the Logic skill
- Work on improving the Charisma skill
- Review budget proposals or write scholarly papers
So, without further ado, let’s see what exactly can you expect from the teacher career in Sims 4!

how to join the education career in Sims 4
To embark on this career journey, have your Sims reach for their phone or computer. If you are looking for jobs on the phone, just click on the suitcase icon and select Find a Job. If they are searching for a teacher career opportunity on PC, just look for it in the career tab. This will take you to the ‘ ‘Select a Career For(Sim’s name)’ ‘ panel, where you will find the Education Career listed. Confirm your choice, and get ready to start!

who is best suited for a job in education?
Like all other careers, Education career is available for all Sims from young adults to older, regardless of their prior education or skill sets. However, having some predispositions can surely help them make quicker progress if they chose to work in this field.
Getting a Psychology degree is a good shortcut to being successful in this field, especially if your Sims intends to join the Professor branch. Or, they can opt for a degree in Economics if they aspire to become an Administrator. Both degrees can help them advance in this career later on.
Sims who have the biggest predisposition to join the teacher career are naturally charismatic Sims who have ambitious, outgoing , or genius personality traits. These will help them learn skills that are needed for this job faster. Additionally, scholars of Sims who have Academic aspiration can also be well suited for this career track as both the career and the aspiration require more-less the same skills.
education career levels
Education career, much like most other jobs in Sims 4, has 10 levels. If you have an intellectual Sim who’d give anything to work from home , this career will be their dream come true, as they can totally stay at home and complete their daily job tasks there. In fact, this career allows them to choose whether they want to go to work or work from the comfort of their home office, so they can do both. Making progress from home will be a bit slower though, but homebodies will love it.
Regardless of how you want them to complete their tasks, once they start, every Sim will go through 5 entry levels , after which they’ll be asked to choose whether they’d like to join the Administrator or the Professor branch.

early levels of education career
So, here’s your Sims, starting a new chapter as an educationalist in Sims 4. They will start with a desk and an apple clock as a reward for their initial efforts. If they already have some Research & Debate and Logic skills up their sleeve, great! Teachers also need to be good communicators, so expect to put in some work in developing Charisma skills, too.
At the first five levels, they will be expected to grade homework and level up these skills. To grade students, just go to your Sim’s inventory and you’ll find students’ homework that needs to be graded there.
Sims who join the teacher career can write letters of recommendation or create lesson plans on their PC in Career>Education Career . Sims can also tutor students online, and these interactions will be available right after they join the teacher career. They can tutor students in a few fields, including Arts, Communication, Entertainment, Heath, or Technology.
Here is what awaits them during the early stages of teacher career:

administrator branch
School administrators take care of the nitty-gritty stuff, such as the school budget. In fact, if your Sims chooses to join this branch, expect to see them reviewing budget proposals every workday. Your Sims will also need to polish their Research & Debate , and Charisma skills to get promoted.
This is the better paying of the two branches, with the Head Chancellor being the top-level position in the branch. Most rewards come in the form of simoleons, but some will grant them unique abilities, such as asking for donations or planning agendas for faculty meetings, which can give them a confident moodlet. This is what you can expect at every level:
Mon to Fri, 9 AM-5 PM | $100/hour $800/day | – Review Budget Proposals – Level 6 Research and Debate Skill – Level 3 Charisma Skill | – $1,000 – Review Budget Proposals Ability – Ask for Donation – Plan Agenda for Faculty Meeting – Write Grants Interactions | |
Mon to Fri, 9 AM-5 PM | $125/hour $1,000/day | – Review Budget Proposals – Level 7 Research and Debate – Level 4 Charisma | $3,500 | |
Mon to Fri, 9 AM-5 PM | $170/hour $1,360/day | – Review Budget Proposals – Level 8 Research and Debate – Level 5 Charisma | – $2,500 – Memories of Graduation | |
Tue to Fri, 10 AM-5 PM | $255/hour $1,785/day | – Review Budget Proposals – Level 9 Research and Debate – Level 6 Charisma | $3,200 | |
Tue to Thu, 10 AM-4 PM | $325/hour $1,950/day | Review Budget Proposals | – $3,150 – Learning Embetterment Award |
Professor branch
The professor branch is for Sims who aspire to become honorable professors, admired for their knowledge and intellect. If they chose to walk this career path, you’ll see them writing scholarly papers every workday. Besides writing, they will have to work hard to level up their Research & Debate, and Logic skills .
The most ambitious professors will become Master Educators , which is the top-level rank and the highest-paying position in this branch. Unlike the other ranch, this one doesn’t grant new interactions, but Sims can still get simoleons after successfully ranking up. This is what awaits Sims who chose this branch:
Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri 9 AM-4 PM | $72/hour $504/day | – Write Scholarly Paper – Level 6 Research and Debate – Level 3 Logic | – $975 – New Clothes | |
Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri 9 AM-4 PM | $110/hour $770/day | – Write Scholarly Paper – Level 7 Research and Debate – Level 4 Logic | / | |

I have my sims in the education career. Multiple times she had to grade homework in the padfolio. However, it seems that whenever I click on "grade homework" my sims doesn't complete the task because she's saying there's something in the way. Does anyone know how to fix this?
The opening promotion task is, "Grade homework in Padfolio"... and it's not letting me grade in it. Do I have to have a certain level of Research/Debate? Or am I missing something completely obvious?
However, now that she’s on level 2 of the career path, her daily task has become “Grade Homework In Teachers Padfolio”. I quickly realized that this is a thing in her inventory, appropriately similar to homework.
In your Sims’ Inventory, you will find the Teacher’s Padfolio of Student Homework that allows you to grade student’s homework. There is one new Create A Sim Jacket that is unlocked with the Education Career.
You'll need to use the Teacher's Portfolio you can find in your Sim's inventory to grade papers. If you happen to lose your Teacher's book, you can find one at a bookshelf under 'Homework Books'. Teachers all unlock the desk and apple clock you will see in the pictures for Administrator and Professor found below.
Grade homework in teachers’ portfolio. Improve your Research and debate skills. Work on improving the Logic skill. Work on improving the Charisma skill. Review budget proposals or write scholarly papers. So, without further ado, let’s see what exactly can you expect from the teacher career in Sims 4!
