Company + Job Analysis

This post includes a brief list of jobs one can hold and what their benefits may be.

At the time of writing this I am traveling so I cannot check my work stats. I know they around 20k Manual, 55k Intelligence, and 33k Endurance

Start Jobs:

Army
Assuming I'm a Private, the lowest rank, it would take me 45 days to reach General as each promotion takes 5 days of their respective job points.
Benefits at Rank 10 - General incude
Spy once per day
Earn 10 points for Attack or Defense
This job can be used to help build your Manual stat if you are low work stats, and can be great if you are spending time inactive away from the game to hoard the Army points for Defense gains. There's debate and discussion as to how useful the points are. Generally it is assumed that using more points at once will yield higher gains, so an extended break from the game would hoard the most Army points to use for the gain. I don't know if I'll use this job if I go inactive.

Grocer
 20 days to climb the ladder assuming work stats are high enough. After you reach the highest level, Manager, you can steal an energy drink once every 5 days. This Can(hah! PUN! I've been awake for 20 hours, wish I could steal one right now) be worth an additional million or two in weekly income. It's actually not a bad way to make money if your work stats are low.

Education
 Higher work stats required to max out, 30 days to climb to the top, which is very well worth it because it will decrease Education time by 10%. This will speed things up immensely, especially stacked with Adept faction bonus and merits towards education time. This is also a good job to be in if you wish to go inactive or want to grow your work stats for other jobs.
At Principal, the highest rank, you gain 30 Manual and Endurance, along with 40 Intelligence daily. On top of that the other job specials allow you to trade 10 job points (you earn 7 daily) for 100 Intelligence, Manual, or Endurance. Effectively an extra 70 points of the state of your choice bonus each day. Want to make extra money at a company job? Or are your lacking in a stat needed for promotion in another job (like Manual for Military, Intelligence for Medical, or Endurance for Law?) Boom! I had this job for a while and am very thankful for it.

Law
Takes 25 days to climb to the top. Once you get the highest job you gain a 10% passive increase in crime success. Less Browns and Reds will give you more money and crime exp. I don't have this yet, but I am totally going to if I am every actively pursuing higher end Organized Crimes (I currently Kidnap Mayor with reasonable success and haven't taken many chances with harder or higher fail crimes. I don't intend on ever doing the Hacking crime because I don't want to lose any Crime Exp)

Medical
30 days until Brain Surgeon. Once you get to Brain Surgeon you can revive people. This costs you 75 energy without faction bonuses, and can earn $1m or more each time. You are also able to steal medical items at a rate of 1 Morphine/day, 1.75 FAKs/day, 3.5SFAKs/day.

------------------------------------------------
That's basically everything I need to say about starter jobs.

Company Jobs are different in that they have different specials, pretty much require daily logins, and drug users must rehab more frequently before they drop in effectiveness and get yelled at by boss or lose job.

Sweet Shop is like the Grocer job, you can steal Energy Drinks with job points, but at a more frequent rate: 1 every 2 days instead of 5. This is better supplemental income, and can even be used for your own purposes:

This blog post lists the values of energy drink cans. They can be used for money, or they can be used for more E. Assuming each Gym Train costs 10e, and assuming an equal distribution for probability (I have NO numbers or evidence to back this up) you receive 2.5 extra trains every 2 days, or 1.75 extra trains each day. I thought that was interesting so I'd mention it. I'm unfamiliar with Energy Can prices, but you could think of them as an extra mil/day from sales?
