If you compare a person that does not promote, vs someone who promotes to say, level 4 over a certain period of time, the person who promotes is behind for a while but once they reach their chosen level, the extra career points you get allow you to quickly pass up the person who doesn't promote.

It is just a matter of long term planning. Spending the points right away is great for short term gains, but if you are planning on being around for more than a couple months, getting at least a couple of promotions will make you stronger in the end.

It was Poptart who did the math. That's going on the wiki hopefully...

Anyway here's an example. Person 1 and Person 2 work in Construction.
Person 1 takes their Career rating to 4. While person 2 keeps using their points for stats. It takes a total of 3,000 points to go to rank four from rank one in Construction(Just a educated guess). Now Person 1 gains a average of 32 more points a day then person 2.

3,000/32 = 94 days.

In roughly 3 mouths person 1 will be level with person 2. And in another 3 mouths person 1 will have 3,000 more points then person 2. Also Person 1 will be able to use Peacetime Hideout Repair, and Wartime Hideout Repair. Making them more important to a gang then person 2.
