Day Jobs?

You can earn progress toward them, but you'll need to make the complete switch to Villain before they'll actually be awarded.

If you go vigilante you can then hit the redzones and gain progress towards them but they won't award until you go full villain.

I'd suggest this: Go vigilante, then park redside and start the first day job, when you log in after 21 days you'll have the badge for being vigilante for 7 days and a full progress bar for that redside day job. After that, work the others up to full progress bars, then switch to villain side and watch the badge explosion you should have for getting the dayjobs, plus any badges that you may receive for going from blue to red such as red accolades to replace blue ones that you may have earned, gladiator badges that you are now able to receive, etc.
