I figure this is probably a newb question.
(I try not to ask too many due to embarrasment level in public)

I'm trying to raise my reputation and intelligence level, but I noticed that the only jobs I am eligible for do not give reputation or intelligence.

I figure the only way to level it is through the buying credits and so forth. Could someone possibly point me in what I think is the only obvious answer possible?
I talked to someone else who's currently helping me out when he's online and says that he does recieve reputation and intelligence (but he's also a higher level as well with more reputation and intelligence of course)

Any takers to give some advice to this 'noob' I call myself?
