Let me start off by saying, I understand how you feel. Being as I've only been in the city for a little over a month. I get it. Let me take a moment by saying I'm a person who, no matter what city I fly into or what game I am playing will ALWAYS test out every possible way to make money and time it to find out which takes the least time or which makes the most.

I have a salary job, but for me, I didn't take it or want it for the money. But I haven't been clocked in because I have been doing what makes the most amount of money, legally, to get the car I want. Am I mad about that? No. Disappointed? Somewhat. Personally, I think, due to the fact that we have to apply like an actual in-head job to get the position, after a certain point we should, at the very least, be making the same if not more than public jobs and active hobbies such as fishing.

With that said, let me lay some facts down... can I make more money per hour doing any legal, public job (Including fishing) than clocking in to my salary job? Yes. Well, aside from 2 jobs and that's hauling and taco libre if there are no customers. New vehicle laws screwed up the trucks in a bad way when there's a trailer. Garbage? Roughly 5.5-7k per hour without additional selling. Uber eats? Even with the price changes? Definitely so long as you don't buy a certain super expensive item. Fishing? Absolutely. I get that it's boring as hell. I really do. I fished for 14 hours last night and got over 2100 fish, that wasn't 14 hours straight either, I took a few breaks. But don't sit there and tell me it makes no money. If you're taking more than an hour to catch 100 fish you're doing it wrong. It's $45 per fish, you do the math. Same with Taxi. You may not notice because locals pay with both card and cash.

Also, as far a chop shop goes, if you're taking more than a day to even get 2 or 3+ lists done, you're doing the wrong list. If you're doing it for money that is.

I also understand the frustration behind the player owned business, as having been an owner of a business myself, please understand from our/their point of view as well that the only way they make money is for people to be there. The business I used to own, I had it open for 8 hours one day and I only made 4k profit take home. After supplies. I truly mean 8 hours it was open. I sat there for 8 hours practically doing nothing making unemployment checks. Owning a business, right now, is a tad lackluster for owners as they don't get a salary, they gotta take the time to re-stock anything they sell. So it only makes sense to open for a few hours here and there. When I first bought the business I sold, it took me roughly 10 hours of back and forth to get 100 of every item. 8 of those hours I did solid. When I finally opened... it just wasn't what I was expecting. I knew someone who wanted it more than me so I sold it to them. But, the future looks promising for business owners.

Also, as I've stated previously, there are 2 bars (4 if you look hard enough) up North that are open 24/7 and could make for some good hangout sessions and RP experiences.

"I fished for 14 hours last night and got over 2100 fish, that wasn't 14 hours straight either, I took a few breaks. But don't sit there and tell me it makes no money. If you're taking more than an hour to catch 100 fish you're doing it wrong" You see that is one of the main reasons that's making some of us newbies consider leaving, your keeping your tricks secret, as I stood around for 3 hours and made 200 fish just so I can get Soba Noodles, Which is sad, Everything is stupidly overpriced to drain everyone's bank account, I came to New chance to Roleplay and have enough Money to even get a car that I want and roleplay and mingle I only came here because a buddy of mine wanted me to come back to FiveM again after a 4 year break from it, Which I did but this buddy was with SOA and the most experience I had around here is that most of everyone is either A out to rob you and Kill you making you have to get off for an entire night because the EMS Department is on Strike because their Paychecks got nerfed, However since I joined after the first week I left SOA I got sick and Tired of the Bullshit of being constantly chased and murdered in cold blood for having some type of affiliation with them, Which brings me to another point, Because of being with SOA for a week it screwed me on making money every time I was basically forced to respawn due to the amount of EMS that are never active I've lost basically 300k worth of money to having to buy a Gun for every time I was forced to respawn.
I have almost constantly no Money due to having to buy food, Gas, a gun for every time I die and am forced to respawn losing my entire inventory so I barely ever have enough money to feed myself, Last night I was piss poor broke for 2 hours and so I was forced to limp across the city which btw was not fun And yes I know I could have rented a Bike I did but I couldn't ride it why? Because being Dehydrate and Hungry apparently makes you a cripple somehow and unable to ride a bike, and if your fishing for 14 hours straight at night and you have a Salary job and a player is the starting rank in your Salary Job your also fucking them over as there is a forced clock in requirement or otherwise you get fired or questioned.

I did fishing for the same amount of time and barely had any fish so whatever your doing your hiding it from the new players giving them their time on the server as "No Chance" to make some nice money so they aren't poor.

Also as what your Argument for Chop Shop goes, Every list myself and people who I know who are new get every single god damn list that has a Car that always has a 0.01% chance of spawning and they would have canceled their list to go and make more money but they can't because they worry about losing the 2,500 Dirty money they need to reset the list due to getting robbed making money of Chop a more dangerous Business.

But to finally say, I shouldn't have to commit Crime just to make money on New chance period I shouldn't be forced to go and commit crime to make better money that a Salary Job should be able to provide, But the Salary Job for the lowest ranking players are unable to clock in ever because your fishing for 14 hours a night sort of screwing them over because they too require clock in hours so that way they don't get fired which doesn't help at all.

Go work a public job to get on your feet man. That’s how everyone does it now and has done it in the past. Prices have gone up yes but $5000 per hour on a public job is more than enough. Don’t put yourself in situations where you’ll lose money when you don’t have the money to lose.

There's no "secret" behind fishing. It's all about Trunk Space. Do you have a van? Do you have a truck? Anything with more trunk space than most cars? I have never hid anything. If anyone asks me anything in city, as a form of RP, I tell them. I KNOW what it's like to not know anything. I was there a month ago. It's not about what you know, it's about who you know. Making good connections. I got to know A LOT of people and in turn I now know A LOT of stuff.

Also, it's not like someone can simply just tell you everything in discord. If you know my character you'd know he's pretty open to helping new citizens. Heck he even knows some things, those that have been in the city longer, don't know. You probably just haven't asked. I can count quite a few new citizens I've met who have more money than I do. Another thing, public jobs are on the map. Never hurts to go do them for an hour and realize "Hey, this is pretty good money." As an intern, or even as a full employee, you are still allowed to do those (Aside from Taco Libre if I'm not mistaken) when you're clocked out.

As for chop shop, that's likely because you're trying to do kit lists. Those are hard for a reason. But those aren't the only option.

Also, to touch up on your "Interns need to be clocked with someone else", again, I get that. I am not EMS though. I am also not a supervisor at my salary job either so even if I were clocked in, interns still wouldn't be able to clock in with me. But, as I also previously mentioned I am, myself, trying to make the money to buy a car. That's why I haven't been clocked in for a few days. But I also told everyone in my department that I am always on radio so if you need me to clock in, just ask. 'Cause I've been there too.

All in all, if you meet my character... ask him questions. If you already know him, still... ask questions. He'll tell you. RP aside, from personal experience, I get not knowing these things. I understand the frustration of being told "RP to find out."
