Rentyre
You look around the apartment which now belongs to you. It's horribly unfurnished; the only loose items of furniture is a dilapidated sofa and a rickety bedframe with a broken matress. You had noticed that all of the walls were still bare drywall when you first arrived; but only now do you realize that the floor is bare as well.
It's amazing that your father was able to spare so many expenses in your new home. You'd call the cowardly bastard, but you don't have a phone.
In fact, you don't have any money at all. Not even a few loose coins. It's a good thing your new body doesn't require food, or you'd be screwed.
You find a newspaper lying on the kitchen counter. Shuffling through the help wanted section, you discover that a ridiculous amount of jobs will not hire robots. It'd be discrimination if it weren't for the fact that all robots were once people. When you add that to the fact that you haven't actually graduated from high school, your choices are few and far between. As it is, you manage to find two positions available.
One of them is for a construction company who insists that all employees become robots when working on the premises. Most of the workers are probably real people who Rentyre into robots on site, but a few might be permanent robots like you. But it's hard manual labor, and it'll be exausting. And no matter how easily your new body could be repaired, accidents still hurt.
The other job is a position at Loanatics. It's an upstart company that uses Rentyra Co.'s switching technology under fair use. The company caters to people wishing to use their Rentyres for uses frowned upon by Rentyra Co. It's not an illegal company, but hiring their services nullifies a Rentyre machine's warranty. Still, Loanatics makes high profits by catering to filth.
Your money situation is desperate. Which job are you going to apply for?
