Let me clarify by pointing something out:Core Rulebook, p. 91-92 wrote:
You can practice your trade and make a decent living, earning half your check result in gold pieces per week of dedicated work.
The Day Job roll represents a period of work, which makes it different than say an Acrobatics check to avoid an AoO. But the Craft and Profession skill have the same use stated in the RAW. So a Day Job is technically just like other skill checks, other Craft and Profession skill checks to earn income over time.
Now, that said, there is nothing in the CRB that says you can't take 10 on the Craft check to earn income over time. Nosig is asking why the Day Job, which uses a different mechanic but is in-game the same thing, does not allow the player to take 10. Simply saying it's different isn't an acceptable answer.
Actually, saying it's different when it is different is a perfectly acceptable answer.
Notice the emphasis I placed in your quote above. You are right about the RAW in the Core book. But as has already been stated, the Day Job check is meant to cover an indeterminate amount of time. It could be a week, it could be two weeks, or it could also be three days and then you're off on another mission.
I think some confusion is coming from comparisons to the old Living Greyhawk model of "day job" checks. But in LG that time period was a set period, since LG tracked your character's time by the week. Pathfinder Society does not, and because of that and for reasons already stated, you can't Take 10 on a Day Job roll.
