flower picking pays about $40 a minute, if you make the yellow mum, pink aster, sunflower bouquet and just pick flowers until you're full before making the bouquets.
shell digging is also only done in PK zones and also pays about $40 a minute, if you pick shells on the beach outside the shell hut until you're full.
mail delivery is done mostly in pk zones as well. you get paid $5-7 per letter and letters can take from 20 to 90 seconds to deliver. this job isn't really worth doing in its current state. i was going to balance it when we made pizza making, but i wanted to make it so you got a bag of 6 letters that showed as a list on the side of your screen, and you had to deliver the whole bag in less than 3 minutes and get back to the post office and you got paid $30+ however much time was left in seconds.
trash picking is done in PK zones as well, but doesn't pay as consistently as other jobs. trash picking comes down to luck and how many other people are trash picking, since trash only spawns every hour and the amount is trash is based on the current playercount. i used to run around for 15 minutes every hour and pick trash, ignoring tires in favor of newspapers because you can carry more of them. i'd make about $600 each run, which makes about $40 a minute as well.
car missions take place in pk zones as well, they have the biggest entry cost and an ongoing fuel cost. the amount you get paid is relative to the amount of time it takes you to pick up and drop off the NPC, where the time allowed is based on the mission. I've only ever gotten $11-15 for these missions, and they take about 30-40 seconds each. so again it pays slightly worse than other jobs and is kind of fun to start with but gets boring eventually.
mining is one of the safe jobs, but it has an entry cost (drill and batteries). it also pays slightly worse than other jobs. at level 1 it takes 50-60 seconds to mine 1 rock. mining is capped at level 120, where it would take 15 seconds to mine one rock. and even then you'd need every rock to be gold or better to make $40 a minute so it's probably not worth doing mining if you're just looking to sell minerals to the shop, but you can make a fair bit selling iron and lead to the player businesses.
pizza making is the other safe job and it pays about $40 a minute if you make supreme pizzas. it's close to unstick me but for some reason people don't use it as much. i'm guessing because it's not well known, or very repetitive.
so as you can see most jobs are done in only pk zones. shell digging is even scripted so that you can't dig at unstick me because it's no-pk. And if you read through all that you'll probably see that pizza making is probably the best job, at least until mining, car missions and mail delivery get balanced to $40 a minute.

s with under a hour figure out where it is and how to do it. But as you said it is verrrry repetitive but doesn't really make as much as you predict. The only upside is it is a safe job, and probably better than level 1-5 mining. (the slow start)
