The active variant will mark you as being active in the specified job while the inactive option will indicate that you are taking a break from performing that job's duties. If you would like to quit a job altogether, use the resign option.
Examples:
jobs apply builder Apply for a building job. jobs Show all of the jobs on the mud. jobs scribe Show all of the scribes. jobs joe Show all of the jobs joe has. jobs active ochecker Become active in ochecking.
