In my experience (maybe I'm being blind or dumb here, I'm not sure), even if you have maximum stats, you can't trade for a job, as there's nothing you can give to obtain the required points to have any chance of trading success. Maybe adding stats to the tradeables list or some other way for people to go on without using the debug menu to add traits to then trade away. As a note: I haven't played the most recent version just released; this is my experience with everything prior. I have tried to go for most jobs.

Right now, the only way to gain traits outside the debug menu is via the shady shop in the current version. I will make more ways in the future, but currently I want to make more of a foundation for the game before I add more ways to do things. Although within one of the next few patches I will likely make the starting traits tradable.
