Jobs are a career layer on top of everything else. Pick one profession at a time; it tracks what you do and pays SurvivalCash across 20 milestones. Your job shows as a coloured tag in front of your name in chat. Switch anytime — progress is saved per job, so you can come back later.

Progression & retirement
- ›Every job has 20 milestones — each one pays SurvivalCash, scaling up as you go.
- ›Entry jobs are open to all. Skilled and premium jobs unlock once you've earned enough milestones across any jobs — grind the basics, get approved for the good ones.
- ›Finish all 20 milestones and the job RETIRES: a permanent daily pension paid with your login bonus. Retire multiple jobs and the pensions stack.
Switching jobs
- ›You hold ONE job at a time, but your progress is saved per job forever — you never lose it by switching.
- ›Your first few job changes are FREE. After that, each switch to a NEW job costs SurvivalCash (currently 250,000 SCash), so pick a career instead of hopping.
- ›Returning to a job you already held is always free — only moving to a different job counts as a paid switch. Quitting (going off-duty) is free too.
