 2,{X+T0,    Professions
    1,    Sleaze: \
    You rely primarily on social skills to \
    perform your job. You often gain information \
    through interaction or manipulating others \
    with your sharp conversational abilities. \
    Although you excel in the development of \
    these skills, you have a rather difficult \
    time learning many others. Examples of Sleaze \
    include corporate and governmental \
    administrators, salespeople, teachers, \
    entertainers, and theologians. Other names \
    for the profession may include: Society Dude \
    or Babe, Slime, Reagan, Socializer, Politico, \
    Suit, Media Bum, or Schmoozer.
    1,    Sneak: \
    You focus on the "hands-on" aspects of crime \
    and security, and may be either a cop or a \
    criminal. You are generally concerned with \
    crimes of a physical nature rather than the \
    high-tech computerized exploits of the Net \
    Junkies. Your skill development opportunities \
    are quite broad, although they center on \
    subterfuge skills. Other names for this \
    profession include: Security Man, Prowler, \
    Eye, or Hood.
    1,    Killer: \
    This profession covers all manner of \
    fighters, from Sprawl thugs to corporate \
    assassins. Regardless of group affiliation or \
    social class, if your training is primarily \
    concerned with weaponry, combat, military \
    tactics and/or warfare, you are a Killer. \
    Your primary areas of skill development are \
    weapon and maneuvering skills. It is \
    relatively difficult for you to learn social \
    or scientific skills, as you have little use \
    for such pursuits. Other names for this \
    profession include TriggerBoy/Girl, Scrapper, \
    Punk, Jason, BrawlBoy, Thug, Fighter, \
    Strongarm.
    1,    Net Junkie: \
    You are one of the feared and renowned Neural \
    Interface specialists, utilizing your \
    specialised machines (called CyberDecks) to \
    move through the abstract dimensions of the \
    Global Telecommunications Network (i.e., \
    Cyberspace) and infiltrate security systems. \
    You are quite good with cyberspace skills and \
    fairly good with technical skills, but have a \
    hard time with the more physical pursuits \
    (since you spend a lot of time in another \
    world). Other names for this profession \
    include Net Jockey, Nethead, Brain, Bryce, \
    Deck Jockey, Decker, or Hacker.
    1,    Jockey: \
    You are an individual whose specialised \
    professional skills have to do with the \
    operation of equipment; including your \
    personal equipment. You specialize in \
    maneuvring skills and general skills. You \
    are one of the citizens who make sure \
    civilization keeps "running": drivers, \
    pilots, communications personnel, paramedics, \
    etc. You also have knowledge of basic \
    computer operation (conceptually very \
    different from the intuitive world of \
    Cyberspace) and you use your understanding of \
    computer/user interface to perform the more \
    mundane operations in the Net (accessing \
    satellite links, etc.). You do not necessarily \
    know how your equipment works, you just know \
    how to use it. Other names for this profession \
    include Fly-Boy, Controller, Fingers, Console \
    Jock, or Operator Keyboard Cowboy.
    1,    Tech Rat: \
    This profession covers a wide variety of \
    character types, ranging from R&D scientists \
    to simple mechanics, including maintenance \
    workers, free-lance special device-riggers, \
    engineers, physicians, scientists, \
    cyber-designers, weapon makers, etc. They are \
    often employed by one of the world-powerful \
    mega-corps; many are attached to CorpMerc \
    teams or political military forces. You might \
    even be a "Wormtech" practitioner, creating \
    unauthorised works of genius for sale on the \
    black market. You fare well with technical \
    skills, but generally shun the more physical \
    pursuits. You will usually have your own \
    particular field of expertise (one of the \
    technical skills). Other names for this \
    profession may include: Mr. Science, \
    Handyman, Fixer, Toolie, Techie, Plumber, \
    Repairman, or Grease Monkey.
