[1] Introduction

This faq was made after I decided to publish the results of some statistical
career analysis that I did. All the figures are as accurate as I could find
and pertain to the top level of each career. If I have made a mistake please
email me at the address provided at the bottom of the faq. I would also like
to mention that this analysis does not factor in three things: chance cards,
career ladder, and time of hours. These things may change the total career
value for you, either economically or otherwise. Also, hours at work considers
that you leave for work at the last possible second. Leaving any time before
that causes work value to decrease.

Statistics are given variable symbols denoted in the section title.
