Careers/Jobs (2024)

This page is under construction!

See Career Collections for a brief Job summary and how to achieve them.

Jobs are forms of employment that provide characters with varying levels of income. Several jobs can lead to a very successful career in your Bitlife life. Jobs payments vary but some do require a greater level of education and certain schooling. Part-time jobs and freelance gigs were added in May 2019 and characters have to be at least 14 to try them. Some careers rapidly provide more social media followers and a massive increase in income after reaching a certain 'breakthrough' (Acting and Composing) while others rely on a gradually increasing wage (Doctor and CEO). Most medical jobs require advanced degrees, but can give a rewarding wage. Choosing careers relies on steady planning and where you live. Emigrating also forces you to get a new career. Most careers also provide raises based on performance or, depending on the job, looks and smarts. Another key thing to remember graduating high school. All of the averages of euros (€) are from Germany and all of the averages of dollars ($) is from United States of America.

Note: As different countries have different education systems, characters in countries like the UK from the ages of 11-18 may start secondary school, while characters in countries like the US from the ages of 11-13 may start middle school and then high school at 14-18. In the Education Required field, "Upper Secondary School" will mean the same thing as "high school".

Military Jobs[]

These jobs can be acquired by joining the military. You don't need a degree to enlist in the military but a degree is required to apply as an officer. If your character's application to join the military/enlistment in the military has been rejected. It will notify you, and your character will be able to go through bootcamp.

Part-time Jobs[]

Part-time jobs are available for characters 14 and older. They are the first real opportunity for a steady income, and can serve as a backup job or supplemental income for adults.

A part-time job can help to pay university tuition, though even ones with the fewest hours will raise the character's stress level and leave little if any time for extracurricular activities. Jobs with more hours can lead to high blood pressure, and even early death. Some part-time jobs are only available to university students, and will automatically end when the character graduates or leaves university.

The hourly rates and weekly hours shown here are not exact. These numbers can vary, and may change if your character requests a raise or more/fewer hours.

Freelance Gigs[]

Freelance gigs are a way to make some quick money. There are 8 possible gigs, each with several hourly rates. Requesting higher pay can lead to much greater earnings, but also reduces the chance that anyone will hire your character at all. A character can be hired for up to 10 gigs per year. Unanswered ads do not count toward this limit.

Note:The prices and minimum age of each gig depends on which country your character lives in. The ones below are based on a character living in the USA.

Job Events[]

• Characters may be promoted and/or given raises.
• Characters can resign from their job, or retire if they have worked for the employer long enough.
  • Upon retiring the character will receive a pension, an annual payment which is less than, but calculated based on, their previous salary.
  • A character can retire as soon as they're eligible, or continue to work and retire later. Retiring later leads to a higher pension.
• Character's supervisor can ask your character to spend time with them to get ahead.
  • If this involves sexual harassment, the supervisor can be reported to HR, or sued via Lawsuit in which case they will be fired if found guilty.
• The workplace will do a hobby together as a team building exercise. The character can choose to participate, or to refuse. Refusing will lower your character’s performance.
• A co-worker or supervisor will try to hook up with the character. You can have a one-night stand with them, reject their advances (they may insult you if you do this), or report them to HR (they may assault you if you do this). Rejecting a supervisor’s advances might also get you fired. You may file a lawsuit against a co-worker or supervisor for sexually harassing you if they insulted or assaulted you.
• A co-worker will act annoying in front of the character. You can ignore them, have a talk with them, report them to your supervisor/HR, or assault them. You may get insulted or assaulted after the second choice, the third choice may get you assaulted if the co-worker was punished, and the last choice may result in you being called into the supervisor’s office, or HR launching an investigation into you.

Getting Fired[]

Reasons why a character may be fired include:

• Getting sent to Jail.
• Poor performance. May be attributed to improper behavior within workplace or low hours spent at place. Requesting raises/promotions from the Supervisor will also encourage poor performance.
  • Follow-up dialogs include:

• Failed drug test. Happens after taking drugs the previous year or by asking a strict job for 28 days off to go to rehab.
• Being too old to work. A lawsuit can be filed against employers for doing this as it is against equal opportunity workers' rights. Your character will not, however, get their job back.
• Having an illness even if the player's performance or behavior is fine.
• Broken celibacy, if your character is a priest, clergy, nun, or exorcist and decides to date, have a one night stand, or raise a child.
• When your character is forced to scrap a vehicle and doesn’t buy another one, once you age up you will immediately be fired from a job that requires one.
• Military characters will be sometimes be dishonorably discharged if they refuse to do the mine puzzle when deployed.
• Following the Office update, the character can be fired for bad behavior to co-workers and supervisors if HR launches too many investigations into them. This includes giving gifts which are considered inappropriate, assaulting co-workers or supervisors, and unhealthy actions such as pranking or starting rumors. If a character is given a warning for this, another offense within the same year will result in being fired.
• Marrying into royalty or emigrating will force you to quit your job.
• Rejecting a hook-up from a supervisor. If this happens the termination reason will say "unspecified".
• Confronting a supervisor on "annoying behaviors" can also lead to an unspecified termination cause.

Getting your Job Back[]

If you are fired, you can beg your supervisor to stay. It rarely works, however, more often leading to results such as:

• Your supervisor said they couldn't help you.
• Your supervisor said they couldn't help you but wished you well on your future endeavors.
• Your supervisor told you not to let the door hit you on the way out.
• Your supervisor slammed the door in your face.
• Your supervisor laughed at you before calling security to escort you out.

In rare cases, begging your supervisor to stay will lead to another pop up where you're called into their office and can cry, ask politely for one more chance, insult them, or seduce them. Most of the time they won't help, but very rarely, they will agree to give you your job back.

If you are fired, regardless of the reason, attempting to get hired from the same job under a different employer will always result in your character being denied an interview.

If you file a lawsuit against your workplace for termination, no matter whether you won or lost the suit, the workplace will always reject an interview for that job.
