Just for fun, and I’m not going to go through the remaster of the GTA trilogy, but I’ll do something. The GTA series of games is mainly related to the underworld. And from this I want to abstract myself and look at the most ordinary citizens of the sunny city of Vice City, or rather, at the most ordinary professions, without which any city will sink into complete chaos.
Namely, these are: taxi; ambulance; police and firemen.
Who earns the most and do citizens have enough to live on?? And in general, is it difficult for taxi drivers or firefighters?? Well… I’ll say right away that it’s more likely that ordinary citizens have a hard time when the Vice City ambulance rushes to a call..
Let’s start with Taxi. Of course, in fairness, it’s worth considering that you need a car to carry out transportation, but most likely you will rent it, but I don’t think at an extortionate price. Therefore, we will not include car rental in expenses.
What is the average bill and how much on average we will receive per order? Don’t be afraid, I’ve already calculated everything.
On average you will receive $138 per client.
Is it a lot or a little? I would probably say that this is quite a lot, considering that you will spend an average of 1.3 minutes on the trip. For 10 hours of game time, you will earn $936. And here it is worth clarifying that 1 hour of playing time in the game is exactly 1 minute.
At first, I tried to drive carefully, I even tried to follow the general traffic, and you know that the client is not happy with this. The client will yell at you saying: “drive faster, crash into whatever you want, crush anyone, the main thing is. Take me to my appointment time. And yes, if you seriously damage the car, I’ll just jump out without paying a dollar.»
As a result, let’s calculate how much on average we will get for one month of working in a taxi.
So, let’s take a 5-day work https://giantwins.co.uk/bonus/ week, we work 10 hours a day and that’s it… 21 working days multiplied by $936 and it comes out to $19,659 per month. And this does not include rent and gasoline. In rubles it is 623 thousand. Why ask so little? I took the 2002 dollar rate when Vice City came out. Which is probably more logical. For fun, you can calculate at the current exchange rate and it comes out to 1,454,766 rubles… Is this enough for a taxi worker to live on?? Of course yes, considering that he can buy himself a nice house for $8,000.
Well, these are just the icing on the cake, I prepared the icing on the cake at the end.
Let’s get started now doctors. We can take responsibility and deliver sick citizens straight to the hospital. Most likely, the motto of Vice City Ambulance sounds something like this; “We will take you to the hospital no matter what, even pedestrians.»
Since working as an ambulance driver involves a shift work schedule, which is most likely 12 hours or 24 hours in essence. For calculations, I will take a 24 hour working day, and three days later.
For 1 shift I managed to earn $10,200.
A month, going to work every other three days, comes out to $102,000.
This can be compared to the average salary of an emergency room worker in the US – which is only $3,055 per month, according to Internet searches. From this I can conclude that in Vice City the driver gets much more. I feel sad about our Russian salaries, $3055 is 213 thousand. rubles, I don’t even want to compare them with our salaries..
But let’s go back to Vice City. We can say that the standard of living of citizens is simply off the charts.
But why are salaries so high?? There are two answers: either the price level is rising at a very indecently high rate, or part of the money is spent on bribes and on repairing the city after our trips, because in 1 call I managed to kill more people than save them, and it’s better to remain silent about the city’s property, in the form of: cars, traffic lights, street signs. And they also paid me for it…
Now, let’s get to the icing on our cake.
The first Cherry is Police, Probably, in Vice City there is some kind of special law that allows any resident to detain, although no, it’s not right, to eliminate criminals, in the end we become some kind of Batman.
Because you seem to be eliminating criminals, fighting for a just cause, the police themselves give you the task and also pay you for it, and by the way, an indecently high price.
But the police themselves declare you an outlaw! You can chase a criminal and have a squad of police chasing you because you want to kill the criminal that the police told you to kill. It’s a bit of a vicious circle.
But if you were able to flawlessly fulfill the duties assigned to you, then in 12 hours you can earn $19,700. Yes, here we need to take into account that you will have to go to a weapons store, but let’s skip these costs and calculate how much a bounty killer earns per month in the service of Vice City.
Let’s take a 12-hour working day and a work schedule, for example, two in two, we get 15 working days. And in the end, after calculating everything, it comes out to $295,000 per month. If anything, in rubles, at the current exchange rate, it’s somewhere around 22 million rubles per month..
Receiving such salaries, people probably go crazy, because I have no other explanation, but how do you explain the next point?. Firefighters they arrive to a call, they see a car on fire, naturally they begin to put it out, well, as soon as they put out the fire, passengers run out of the car, engulfed in fire, and begin to run from the firefighters. The firefighters, in turn, water people from a fire hydrant, the stream of water is so powerful that it knocks people down and makes them slide on the wet asphalt. As soon as a person stops burning, he calms down and walks as if nothing had happened.
Do you know how much a firefighter gets for this job?? $124,150 for 24 hour shift.
Working in 3 days, he will earn $1,241,500 per month. In rubles this is more than 95 million rubles per month.
And before I go crazy with these numbers, I’ll stop for now. Unfortunately, I missed the moment with the pizza delivery, please forgive me for that.
