Check out the map below, and click on the job name on the right to go to a brief summary of what to expect and any extra equipment you may need.
You get to borrow one of the company taco trucks, and sell tacos to people. You can set your own prices so the only limit is your ability to convince people to put your meat in their mouths!
You can take one of their vans, and use it to deliver peoples mail, lots of driving required.
You can borrow a truck for free or bring your own. You will be fulfiling orders for Burger Shot and for private businesses like store owners. Pay is very variable as it's down to what the store owners want to pay you.
You get a very cool security outfit and a truck to transport money to refill ATMs. It's your job to securely move it from A to B. Gun not provided. People are usually smart enough to not try and rob you though since the money is tracked so a very safe job if you like driving around the state. Pay varies on distance travelled.
You can not start the job here, but you can drop off bodies which is pretty convenient. Check out location 14 to start the coroner job.
Grab a buddy and get a garbage truck to roam the streets of Los Santos to pick up bags of trash from the streets and bring them to the dump.
As the only garbage worker on shift, it takes roughly 6.5 minutes for a round trip, each paying $1,280. I got $13,292/hour on average. That's assuming maximum uptime.
Doing bus routes around the city, you should stick to the 80km/h speed limit because your chances of being pulled over are very high! You'll just be driving a fixed routes, stopping for a few seconds every now and then for passengers.
This bus job has multiple routes, some short and some long. You get paid for the distance travelled. On average you can look to earn $9,193/hour driving non-stop.
Pick up packages, drop them off. Another driving-heavy job.
A group of you will go around in some of these trucks and clean up road incidents. Great if you want to make friends, usually someone else is willing to drive as well. Very good pay!
Usually considered a pretty lonely job, you'll need a vehicle that can hold a lot in the trunk as you will be filling up large oil drums. Check the yellow $ blips on the map to find out where to sell them.
A nice county job where you'll plant, tend to, and harvest crops. You get to use a tractor to plough and also a van to transport the harvested grain to the building.
For one round of farming which is ~37 minutes of work, you get $6,075 with some little breaks between to relax, which works out to roughly $9,843/hour on average.
You get paid passively over time with this one. You sit in a booth and once people have paid you open it up. Government-funded businesses and agencies get to go through for free so keep that in mind if you see flashing lights or hear sirens.
Every 10 minutes you get $200, you also get $300/$225/$150/$0 per customer. I made about $1,900/hour.
Another location to hone your agricultural skills.
This is where you clock on to the coroner job, grab a hearse and wait for calls of bodies to come in, or go looking for some yourself. Remember to be respectful.
Uniform is not provided so maybe dress smart.
A more scenic bus route that has good pay but is quite long. Fun to bring a friend on the bus with you (but they wont be paid). This bus job is a single route going past the East tolls, then down route 68 and then through the west tolls back to Paleto and takes ~15 minutes each time.
You can look to make $6,324/hour doing this. It's not the best pay but it's very consistent.
You'll need an axe from a store for this one and a vehicle that can carry some heavy logs (I'd recommend a Verus quad bike). You will be chopping down trees, picking up what wood you want to take and then bringing it to the mill.
Same as the other toll booth, except this one has 2 booths so if you and a friend want to chill together, one of you can guard north-bound traffic and the other can guard south-bound traffic!
Every 10 minutes you get $200, you also get $300/$225/$150/$0 per customer. I made about $1,900/hour.
Located at the red B on the GPS, there's 2 locations, one in Vespucci in the south-west and one in the north right next to Bayview Auto Center.
There's usually many people here and you get paid by the hour but also per order you take and also per order you complete. Good for meeting new people and good money!
You don't need to clock-in at this job, you just need a pickaxe and something to carry heavy ore in. There's a variety of ore you can mine inside this spooky-looking shaft. You can check out the yellow $ icons on the GPS to find where to sell the ore.
