Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure out how to get my second sim to start a career.  Every time I tap on the pink briefcase icon at the restaurant, the "Out of the Frying Pan" story prompt comes up, but the only option I have is "Choose Later."  The same thing happens when I start to start a fashion career.

You should click on the big circular button in the middle to start it

You need to click the portrait itself, the picture of the story.

I have this same issue as @taylorcuth912, however, I have clicked the button in life events screen as well and that didn't work either.  I go to work and can do actions but get no progress for it. Also no option is provided to select the shift type.

I’m having this issue now too, and I can’t post a question to get it resolved.

@CMeki and @oFishBowl
Many thanks for the advice.  The good news is I was finally able to start the career.  The bad news is I have now idea what I did differently.  º~º  I tried again last night out of desperation and it just sort of worked.  I don't remember if I clicked the portrait or not.  Nonetheless, thank you for your suggestions.

@CMeki This worked when I was trying to take on a hobby.  I probably clicked on the portrait without realizing it.  Thanks!
