Has anybody found a list of the qualifications for distinguished degrees and the careers they affect? I’ve watched a few Game Changer videos, but they’ve all started from scratch with a fresh Sim so don’t have any of the requirements for a Distinguished Degree.
I want to get my little simmies skilled up for their university debut!

Degrees give mid-level start at careers while Distinguished Degrees gives a high-level start. Both have signing bonuses, increased daily pay, job performance, and more vacation days.
Degrees:
Biology leads to = bodybuilder
Computer Science = Computer Engineer, Freelance Programmer, Oracle, and Start-up Entrepreneur
Economics = Administrator and Investor
Physics = Mechanical Engineer and Space Ranger
Psychology = Diamond Agent and Professor
Villany = Boss, Interstellar Smuggler, and Villain
Distinguished Degrees:
History = Judge
Language + Literature = Author, Freelance Writer, and Private Attorney.
Biology - Bodybuilder, Botanist, Doctor, Marine Biologist
Computer Science - Computer Engineer, Freelance Programmer, Oracle, Start-up Entrepreneur
Economics - Administrator, Enviromental Manager, Investor
Physics - Mechanical Engineer, Scientist, Space Ranger
Villainy - Boss, Interstellar Smuggler, Villain
I hope you still can apply for distinguished degrees if you start as an adult

You can receive a degree in History from Foxbury, but it won't be quite as prestigious as one from Britechester.

Is there any value to send a teen to college if they are on the path to becoming famous and being an actor?
Like how would a degree in Drama really impact a Get Famous career?
From the sounds of it, at the highest level, your actor sim would start at level 5 (not 1), get an initial signing bonus, earn more money (which is great because acting is currently underpaid in the game), earn PTO faster and have better job performance. Since degrees act like reward traits, a degree in acting may also improve skill building rates or allow sims to gain more fame and reputation as well.
The new Research/Debate skill will also be handy too, but you can only start learning that one after you already got the pack.
A quick glance and I misread that as executioner
I like the idea of the Distinguished Degrees. It gives something more to strive for before they enrol in University
