Picking your first job
Step
When you first load in, you choose one of six careers: Police Officer, Firefighter, Paramedic, Cleaner, Electrician, or Trucker. Each one has its own tasks and pays out in the game's currency when you complete them. You can switch careers later, so there is no wrong first choice.
- Choose a job pick whichever of the six careers appeals to you most at the start.
- Follow the instructions each job gives you tasks to complete; work through them to earn money.
- Collect your pay finishing a task hands you cash you can spend on housing and vehicles.
- Switch if you want you can change to a different career at any time and try something new.
