==Administrative and Meta Careers==

These careers involve either organising players or providing services for other players to assist them in playing the game.

These careers involve either organising players or providing services for other players to assist them in playing the game. They tend to require few character skills, but significant personal skills from players themselves, alongside time and energy. Sometimes such work can be profitable in ISK terms, but often the real benefits are intangibles: friendship, experience, and connections throughout New Eden to allies and respected opponents.

===Corporate Executive===

Corporations often need a lot of manpower to run successfully. People are ~~need~~ to advertise the corporation, recruit members, set policies, conduct diplomacy with other corporations, arrange logistics and ensure that everything runs smoothly. Available roles will depend on your corporation and their needs. Players can even start their own corporation, although this is often suited to more experienced players who are able to use their experience in game to build a successful corporation. Starting a corporation often requires a large amount of starting capital - more so if the corporation will own structures like [[Citadels]] or [[Engineering Complexes]].
