Most people think of jobs as just a way to get money. What you may not realize is how important jobs are as you get higher in the game. Yes the cash helps, especially if you go away for a few days, but the job specials are the important part.

Another point commonly missed, is to realize how quickly they can get promoted. All one needs to do is look at the job stat gains and chose the job that offers the quickest promotions and higher stat gains.

Education is also important to think about. Will the shortest courses benefit you more than waiting longer for better stats? For instance the education job gives 100 intelligence points for every 10,000 job points earn. You need 300 manual, 500 endurance more for the first promotion in education, but ONLY 250 intelligence more. So why use education to get the intelligence?? Doing the judo class will get you manual and endurance, and while you wait the 15 days for completion you get 120 manual, 135 endurance and 150 intelligence. Even at level one you would earn the extra 100 intelligence needed from the job points you make in the time for that course. Chances are you have some manual and intelligence anyway if you have 500 intelligence.

If you are just starting, you will probably realize you want to be in the medical or education job as quickly as possible.

  • Look at the courses.
    • You can get the needed 500 intelligence in 30 days by doing english + maths.
    • Yes 300 by doing basic programming and English will take 17 days, but 13 days in a poor job is not anywhere near 200 intelligence, and you'll then wait another ~20 days to finish the next course. That will set you back 3 weeks job wise. Do the maths course first, so you'll be in the medical job after 20 days. Then 10 days later you can do education!
    • It takes some 3 months to get 500 intelligence.

Job points are useful, but don't waste them on speed/strength/defence gains. You will need a certain amount of job points for a promotion. If you have to waste days in a lower job because you didn't have the job points you may lose out a lot more than you think - 3 days difference in a lower job for example can be 120 points of each work stat that you have missed.

Don't just ignore your job.

  • Remember job stats do have effect on other things in the game. It is believed that intelligence has an effect on your ability to do crime, and endurance affects stat gains at the gym.

These are the bonuses you can get from each job:
