Best jobs in Agency Life: every career and salary
Updated October 17, 2026
Your job decides how much you earn, who you meet and how much time you have left in a day. Here is every career in Agency City, what it pays and what you need to get it.
How jobs work
Each job has its own shift with short tasks. Good shifts lead to promotions, and every promotion brings new, harder cases and more money. Some jobs need a minimum age, others a degree, a skill level or respect on the street. Salaries rise with inflation over the years, so the numbers below are starting values.
Jobs for teenagers
Before you turn 18, small jobs give you your first pocket money.
| Job | Salary per year | From age |
|---|---|---|
| Newspaper delivery | €1,800 | 13 |
| Babysitting | €2,600 | 14 |
| Kiosk assistant | €5,200 | 15 |
| Gas station attendant at CityFuel | €21,000 | 16 |
Jobs without a degree
At 18 these jobs are open to you. Some ask for skills like driving or charm.
| Job | Salary per year |
|---|---|
| Waiter at Club Velvet | €17,500 |
| Delivery driver | €19,000 |
| Bouncer | €24,000 |
| Mechanic at the harbour | €26,000 |

| Patrol officer | €38,000 |
| Lab technician at Uni BioLab | €39,000 |
| Bank advisor | €40,000 |
| Estate agent at Agency Housing | €46,000 |
Careers with a degree
A degree takes a few years and costs tuition, but it pays for itself quickly. You first need a school leaving certificate or night school.
| Job | Salary per year | Requires |
|---|---|---|
| Office clerk | €33,000 | Night school |
| Detective | €54,000 | Police academy |
| Software developer | €58,000 | Computer science |
| Developer at Agency Scripts | €64,000 | Computer science |
| Manager at Agency Holdings | €74,000 | Business studies |
| Lawyer | €86,000 | Law |
Criminal careers
Illegal jobs pay well and in cash, but they need respect on the street and raise your wanted level every year. Cash from them is dirty money that you have to launder.
| Job | Salary per year | Respect needed |
|---|---|---|
| Courier for the harbour crew | €28,000 | 12 |
| Dealer in the neighbourhood | €38,000 | 20 |
| Logistics for Uncle Vito | €58,000 | 35 |
| The godfather's right hand | €140,000 | 70 |
The top job: mayor
The best paid legal job is mayor of Agency City at €130,000 a year. You do not apply for it, you have to win an election. How that works is in our mayor guide.
Which job is best?
For money alone, law is the strongest legal path, with the mayor's office as the crown. Computer science is a good second choice and also makes you a better hacker. If you want fast money early and accept the risk, the criminal ladder pays more, but one arrest can undo years of work.
Tip: as a teenager from 15 you can do internships in the career you want. With two internships the company often offers you a job at 18.
