My biggest gripe in this game is there's no real impetus or benefit to getting a job other than to push the story forward.
The two skills you can get later on don't really do anything yet (I assume) and the only things you can really do with your money are buy energy-restoring food and a laptop.
All the laptop really does at this point is to allow you to do your homework and studying* done faster. You can also do online courses to bump your grades but they don't seem to matter a damn yet. They cost an arm and a leg, too.
As of 0.18, your grades are set to ZERO and don't improve until you start taking online courses. This means you can NEVER impove: Fitness, Swimming and Physical Education. But that's fine. Those classes are STILL on the planning phase, IIRC.
Once Swimming makes it in, I expect some swimsuit malfunctions.
If there was more things to do with your money (and if DS would get off his arse and program Alice to give you money like she said she would) I'd be less pissed off. It's fine. I can play something else until I want to come back to this.
* or "Studiyng" as DS calls it. He also sees no reason to fix it.
Super grindy, but the Kate/Julia and Kate/Julia/Nick scenes are fairly hot.
