Even Heroes Have Day Jobs
The following list details each Day Job available in City of Heroes. Each time you log out in these specific places, you get the noted bonus the next time you log in. Also, if you log out for a total time of 21 days in any of these locations, you'll get the Day Job Badge for that location, which is a chunk of experience in your pocket as well as a mark of pride.
The list shows what the bonus is called, what building or area you log out in to get the bonus, where these areas/buildings are located within Paragon City, and what the bonus gives you.
Important note: once you get the Day Job Badges, some of them work together to give you other, larger types of bonuses called Accolades.
