Switching career branches is now possible, but also broken

[mousef]

Since degrees allow sims to immediately select a career branch, it is now possible to switch between two tracks of the same career.
However, with the way career progression is tracked, changing branches does not award any of the unlocks (objects, clothes, rooms, reward traits) of previous levels for the second career track.
