Thanks for this, cause I have been asking myself a lot of questions still about it. Once again, I would like to also thank you for your noob guide which not only helped me a lot, but got me interested in this game.

But now that we have the mathematical side of the argument of the career upgrade question, I am still curious as to whether it is the best thing go upgrade quickly at the beginning or not. Cause my thinking was the I use the career points to get up my stats quickly at the beginning and then once I get a to a reasonable level where I can defend myself ok, then start investing in career upgrades for the long term. Cause the other factors that I wanted to take into consideration is that if I don't get my stats up quickly at the beginning it means lower percentage of success for crimes, and limited success for the bigger paying crimes at the beginning, which means not as good equipment, are more importantly, longer to get a good house, which negatively impacts gym workouts. Also it could mean longer periods to go up in levels cause I would lose more battles at the beginning, meaning less energy points, which once again affects workouts at the gym.

I've still been upgrading my careers, but very gradually for now, Once I had hit fixed stat objectives, and I am comfortable that I can defend myself better, I was gonna focus more on upgrading careers to level 5, which will be a better long term investment as your math shows us. But I am curious what other people think?

Cheers
