The Promotion Request Thread

Post by David O »

Sarah and I have decided to maintain Trank's promotion plan, which I have quoted here:
Trent DeWhite wrote:Custom Jobs

While the current Job List offers a wide variety of jobs for people with multiple degrees, there will inevitably be those of you who don't want one of the jobs listed. Or perhaps you have an assortment of degrees for which there are no jobs. Well, weep no longer! Thanks to Top and CA's brilliant idea of custom jobs, we will are now offering personalized jobs to those who request them. Several of you have already asked for and received custom jobs, such Expert Lurker, Red Scorpian Enthusiast, Undercover Writer, Undercover Narnian, and Red Scorpian Tycoon. \:D/

Request Format & Requirements

If you have a request, simply post the degrees you have, along with the type of job you would like to have. You must have at least a High School Equivalence before you can make a request. If you have a specific job title you want, please post it here. We can always negotiate on the job name via private message. As always, if you have any questions or comments, post it here! :D

The ToO Job Salary System

All custom jobs require a High School Equivalence, which gives HSE owners a base salary of $100. From there, every degree you purchase will add 2.5% of the degree price to your salary. Thus, if you purchased a business degree, you would receive 2.5% of the $20,000 cost-- $500. If, however, you purchased agent training, you would receive $250, which equals 2.5% of the $10,000 cost. The following chart highlights the degree type, cost, and subsequent job salary.

$20,000 - Business Degree = $500
$15,000 - Biological Science Degree = $375
$14,000 - Music Degree = $350
$12,000 - Nursing Degree = $300
$11,000 - Biblical Ministry Degree = $275
$10,000 - Agent Training = $250
$9,000 - Education Degree = $225
$8,000 - Computer Science Degree = $200
$7,500 - Fine Arts Degree = $190
$7,000 - Culinary Arts Degree = $175
$6,000 - English Degree = $150

(Example: If you currently own a high school equivalence, english degree, and business degree, your salary would be $750)

Promotions

Who doesn't love a salary raise? ;) Top raised a good question in this thread. Perhaps you have a job that you don't want to give up... but you've purchased another degree, and want a job that pays more since you have further qualifications. If you want to keep your old job but receive a pay increase for that particular job, simply post your request in this thread. :)
From now on, if you need a new job, simply post your request with the proposed new name and salary, and we will get on it ASAP for you! Don't forget that there may already be a job created with all the requirements you have! Thanks for this brilliant plan, Trank! :)

"Harmony Class Drone", $925, HSE/Agent Training/Compsci/Biosci.
(crossposted.)
"Sonuna" Taranimak ("Sonuna" Sharkquill) has been content lately. She admired own very fine Bed recently. She talked with a parent recently. She talked with a friend recently. She had a good meal recently. She admired a fine tastefully-arranged Desk recently.
She is a citizen of The United States of America. She is a member of The State of Minnesota. She is a member of The Town of Odyssey.
"Sonuna" Taranimak likes Bauxite, Copper, Green jade, the color navy, cloaks, ballistas, cats for their aloofness and hydras for their seven heads. When possible, she prefers to consume Dr Pepper and ramen.
She lives at a relaxed pace. She tends to avoid crowds. She has a fertile imagination. She is completely disorganized. She is very distant and reserved. She tends not to openly express emotions. She needs caffeine to get through the working day.

But that doesn't fit with the Biological Science degree, just like my old job didn't. :-k

Sometimes the job title doesn't encompass or represent all of the degrees you own. :(

That being said, I'm sure the brains of DJF will come up with something snazzy! \:D/
