Jobs
Jobs are tasks that you can repeat after a set time limit, though you will only get an EXP reward for a limited number of times and after that you will simply only gain the monetary reward. There are many types of jobs in the post-apocalyptic world, from the age old profession of prostitution to the advanced tinkering of engineers. Most characters will find a job in this list that can do. To get a list of your tasks at hand you can use the command jobs and for a more detailed description of a particular job you can type job <name of jobs>.
Jobs can easily be found at the Unemployment Office in Freedom City. (Head north on fourth street from the Any Port and look for the 'UO' marker on the map.) When there you can type list to browse any publicly announced jobs.
