Fire Officer still good for new players because it give your very nice bonus without downsides.
Police Officer is the best take if you like using fireams, because leveling up aiming is very slow and trying to use anything besides a shotgun in point blank without skills is a nightmare.
The new stealth system made Burglar shine, but hotwiring cars is more a convenience than a needing because finding vehicle keys now become easy. So it's no more the META it used to be.
Fitness Instructor is essential if you play with sprinters.
Now I don't want to make a review about every occupation, but you can ask me about them and I will answer why I put them on that tier. But IMO, craft-based occupations is not my take because I like engaging in combat and exploring more than settling and building things.
