Sure you're willing to do questionable, sometimes despicable acts for money but you're also showing initiative and self-motivation. Anyway, if what you are doing is so repugnant and repellent to decency, why are you able to make a decent living off of it? 

1. Assassin
Some people are just never satisfied that someone else's mortality is inevitable – they must simply die right this moment. For these circumstances, someone who is willing to provide an accelerant to this said mortality is hired to commit murder.
+2 Perform: Sleight, +2 Student of Poisons, +1 Weapon: Dagger

2. Bawd
You keep them in line with your evil eye, sometimes a raised hand – and that's just the customers! Hah, I jest. But seriously, renting out people as a service industry is a demanding business.
+2 Intimidate, +3 Possession (Big Jewellery and Fine Threads), +1 Followers (Prostitutes)

3. Coin-shaver
There's not much in the way of disreputable employment in the village. The usual crimes of uttering or usury are lost to you. Robbing is a lark's game and there's no one to sly with confidence sharking. In desperation you fell to the only two-bit criminal past time in a handful of coins, a hammer, a chisel, and a rasp.
+1 Perform: Metalworking, +1 Wealth, +2 Lie, +1 Run .

4. Fop-a-Dandy
You wear only the lastest in haute couture, your ruffles are the puffiest, your hair is the most combed, your slippers in the airiest of silks, your cheeks bear the most delicate of rouges, and weeping pox sores are hidden by your gold-embroidered kerchief.
+2 Expert: Grooming, +3 Possession: Expensive Wardrobe

5. Healer
Maybe you have been taught a modicum of herbal lore, maybe you have had to midwife babies or calves or both, maybe you can splint a broken bone, maybe you're just lucky guessing as it comes, or maybe you can do all of the above. Whatever it is, you're a bona fide hedge doctor.
+1 Lore, +1 Healing, +1 Expert: Herbalism, +2 Perform: Nursing

6. Mugger
People have money. Your purse is empty. You want it filled. You care not for skill and speed wins. The ends justify the means.
+3 Fight, +2 Dodge

7. Pocket-lark

As a child people marvelled at your delicate fingers. You could hold a musical instrument or paint to smallest miniatures. But money was a better mistress waiting for your touch in other people's pockets.
+3 Perform: Purse Filching, +2 Run

8. Prostitute
Maybe you were desperate or perhaps kept as an on-hand sexual servant. At some point, you leased your body on the public market for short-term, high-yield rates.
+1 Fascinate, +1 Empathy, +1 Lie, +2 Possession.

9. Thief-Catcher
You are disgusting to the disgusting, an underhanded sleaze and a ruffian but the law pays you bounty on every outstanding criminal warrant you bring in. It's a dirty job but it pays for your booze.
+1 Sword, +3 Scrutinise, +1 Possession: cheap sword, leather plate, and official writ.

10. Watch-guard
Instead of being an idle lout, you were handed over to the Watch to better yourself and earn money. Your job isn't demanding except when you have to chase people and you have some authority over the habitual miscreants you meet daily.
+2 Fight, +1 Endurance, +1 Vigour
