If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in
the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first.
-Mark Twain
Intro to Jobs
It can be dificult to decide what job you want or need when you're starting out. With the vast amount of posibilities being undcisive will only waste time on your WS (Working Stats) gain. This is yet another priority for new players and there are a few reasons I say this. The first reason is the three passives obtainable from city jobs do take time but they are easy to get if you take the correct path from the start. In this guide I will break down the first three city jobs I believe you should get and conquer before heading over to a player owned company as well as the order in which is easiest and most beneficial to your WS gains.
After completing these you will have a decent amount of WS to obtain a better player owned company job with higher perks.
NOTE: You should know before applying to Education there will be an "application" with questions to answer for each one of these jobs. In order to get the job you will have to answer all of these questions correctly. You can find the answer to these questions here.
Each job will have several positions, you will have to work in one position for a certain amount of time to gather the job points needed to "get promoted" (see image below) to the next position. Below I will break down each job and how many points/days it will take in order to have enough points to get promoted. When it comes to positions and points needed the breakdown is the same for each job. You can see more info for this under each Job below.
NOTE: You will only have to complete each Job once. As soon as you get promoted to the top position you will receive the passive that you keep forever, even after leaving the job to complete the next.
- Education
- Top position: Principal to gain the passive: 10% decrease in completion time for all future education courses.
- This is a great starting point for finishing educataion courses a bit faster.
10% doesn't seem like much but it shaves a whole crap load of time off your courses over time. - Positions:
- Recess Supervisor: - 1 Job Point per day, 5 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Substitute Teacher: - 2 Job Points per day, 10 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Elementary Teacher: - 3 Job Points per day, 15 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Secondary Teacher: - 4 Job Points per day, 20 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Professor: - 5 Job Points per day, 25 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Vice Principal: - 6 Job Points per day, 30 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Principal: - Completed, you now have the passive.
- Law
- Top position: Federal Judge to gain the passive: +10% bonus to Crime XP.
- Again, this 10% might not sound like much but it adds up. And if I'm honest, with crimes EVERY
little bit matters. Crimes are already a fairly slow process to level up. - Positions:
- Law Student: - 1 Job Point per day, 5 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Paralegal: - 2 Job Points per day, 10 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Probate Lawyer: - 3 Job Points per day, 15 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Trial Lawyer: - 4 Job Points per day, 20 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Circuit Court Judge: - 5 Job Points per day, 25 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Federal Judge: - Completed, you now have the passive.
- Medical
- Top position: Brain Surgeon to gain the passive: Revive someone for 75 energy.
- This can become very useful in your latter years as a Torn citizen. And also a potential for income.
- After these which will take you a few months to complete, you will have a solid WS foundation to land
you a job in a player owned company in where your job perks will be much better as well as the pay. - Positions:
- Medical Student: - 1 Job Point per day, 5 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Houseman: - 2 Job Points per day, 10 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Senior Houseman: - 3 Job Points per day, 15 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- GP: - 4 Job Points per day, 20 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Consultant: - 5 Job Point per day, 25 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Surgeon: - 6 Job Point per day, 30 Job Points for promotion = 5 days as current position.
- Brain Surgeon: - Completed, you now have the passive.
