Why GTA Online needs more legal jobs

GTA Online has always been about owning various illegal businesses and performing all kinds of illegal acts like robbing, killing, and stealing. However, it also has a handful of legal jobs that players can do, even though they can only earn a few bucks from them. Over the years, many have gravitated towards these simple and legal jobs more than regular criminal businesses and heists.

Hence, an argument can be made that GTA Online needs more legal jobs. Here is a more detailed reasoning.

It is safe to say that legal jobs will massively enhance the role-playing aspect of the game. One of the main reasons why GTA RP became so popular was that players were able to pick all kinds of new jobs, especially legal ones. Players can work as a police officer, a delivery person, or even a bus driver.

These kinds of jobs might feel boring on the surface, but they can be quite fun. Players need to wake up every day, head out to their jobs, meet all kinds of different people on the server, and work in various interesting ways.

Hence, if Rockstar wants GTA Online to gradually become an RP playground, especially with GTA 6, they should add more legal jobs so that players have a wider variety of activities to choose from.

As of now, if players want to make loads of money in GTA Online, the most lucrative options are through illegal means. This is obviously because the game itself is about criminals and how they operate. In contrast, the legal jobs that are currently present in the game only allow players to make a few thousand dollars for several minutes of work.

Rockstar Games should add bigger and better legal jobs that allow players to make money a lot faster. This will result in players having two kinds of lifestyles that they can choose from. They can either choose to be rich by working in various legal jobs or take the criminal path. Of course, they will also be able to do both, which will make GTA Online a lot more interesting.
