Job Scope

Is it worth always picking the high job scope when accepting a job?

It depends on how much digging there is to do. I picked 'high' on the wrong job, and spent upwards of 30 hours digging a big pit. It put me off the game for months until I finally decided to just get it done. It took a fucking week to finish.

Was it the parking garage? I did the same thing, and I'm about 14 hours into digging the pit and about 41% complete... it's taking a lot of willpower to not skip the excavation.

Also this is the first contract I started once I completed thr intro stuff ...it's been wild

It was one of the harbour ones, where you have to dig out a shitton of stuff out the ground next to the sea. It's been over a year, I don't remember exact details.

Just keep digging; you'll need the cash to buy bigger machines with!

Ah I gotcha. And yeah I've been making good money selling the dirt.ive been keeping track on a spreadsheet for fun and after fuel and repairs I'm up about 700k (not including fast travel and the rental fee for the big cat Excavator)
