I have recently started playing again after years gone and am curious in base jobs do you start at the top position even if you’ve never work that job before (if you have the stat requirements) or do you start at the bottom and it takes time to get there?
Basic Job Question.

If you have the work stats needed for the top position, you can "fast track" the city jobs, meaning you start at the bottom and rank up as soon as you have enough job points (around every 5 days). For most of them that's about a month's time.
- Education: Reaching the role of Principal gives the cheat sheet which permanently reduces your college education study time for every course by 10%. Additionally, by spending 55 merits on the Education merit track you can boost this to a total 30% reduction. The entire college syllabus entails a total of over 7 real life years so obtaining that 30% reduction can save you over 2 real life years of study time. There are some amazing benefits for completing many courses so the sooner you complete them the better. There is also a merit for completing each Bachelor. See the Illusionist's [253384] great guide to Education Study Perks for more info on what you can get out of studying. It might help you realise you need to work on reducing your study time sooner than you think.
- Medical: Reaching the role of Brain Surgeon gives you the revive skill which permanently enables you to get people out of hospital (for 75 energy). Players will often pay for you to revive them. There are merits for reviving 500 and 1000 players. Later you may also want to go back to this career and steal 500 items for that merit too, but if you are fast-tracking then using Job points to steal items is a waste. This merit should be sought much later in your Torn life when you are struggling to obtain merits and you certainly shouldnt spend job points to steal items until after you have reached the role of Brain Surgeon.
- Law: Reaching the role of Federal Judge gives you a permanent 10% increase in crime success. There will be many changes when Crimes 2.0 is implemented but we don't yet know when that update is due. Under the current system it is probably worthwhile obtaining this perk as soon as you can. If you aim to get the 9 merits for the 8N drug deals crimes (8 drug transport medals + 1 Crime Award) this perk should reduce the number of reds you have to endure while seeking these merits. Many players choose to avoid the 9 merits available altogether and opt to protect their CE instead. Its up to you but if you decide to get them, it is probably best to get them before you have a NNB of 45 (the smaller your NNB the better in fact) but I recommend after you have been a Federal Judge. (In addition to the Federal Judge always buy the Crime Enhancer for whatever crime you are attempting. Also completing the Psychology bachelor gives another 10% boost to crime success but there are other bachelors you should probably do before Psychology). For detailed help on crimes and your Nerve bar you should read Nash's Guide to Nerve Bar - a very helpful Guide.
- Army: Reaching the role of General gives you a perk that enables you to spy on another player's stats for 10 Army points and $5,000. However, the earlier Job Specials that allow you to spend Army points to improve your Defence and Strength are more important initially. You still need to reach the role of General before using those perks however as you will need a minimum of 1000 Army points (100 days as a General) to get the benefit of this perk for boosting your Defence. For boosting Strength you need to accumulate even more points than that. These Defence/Strength perks are best used by players who know that they are going to be inactive for a long period. For active players there are better ways to improve Defence and Strength that don't involve the Army at all. For details on how to get the most out of Army points to boost either Defence or Strength see Maledicts [1677916] amazing Army guide here:
