You need a job based on your degree/experience/expertise

Again, I like you, you're a good dude, but you are in no way a hustler and will not succeed in a sales type position

 

Idk about NWA. You should visit sometime for a wheeling trip.

 

I'm aware of NWA

Heard some real shit about North West Arkansas as well

 

I wish I'd gotten an engineering degree tbh

 

Live at home and go back to college

Get you some real debt

Get out making five figures and pay it off the rest of your life

 

I think I'd just get another MS, maybe in remote sensing or machine learning

 

Real talk @Ozark_RegCab cause I really don't want you attempting a position you'd be horrible at.

You know how you always complain about issues on your truck?

You know how you always come up with excuses to not fix, even minor issues yourself?

This has nothing to do with tools, etc. but instead showing the lack of willingness to do something because of minor inconveniences. You get into this "can't do" mentality and it sticks with you.

As I said, a sales type job is more about you the individual, and less about everything else you think it is.

 

Yea I guess it couldn't hurt to interview, but I'm not sure I'd be ready to quite this job to start the sales training. Even if it doesn't pay much, it has a good community and I can walk to work.

 

This

 

Also @Kwikvette I confirmed with the apt management that they don't allow working on cars, other than small stuff like an alternator etc. I guess I need to make friend with someone that has a driveway or garage. I don't know anyone in town I'd be comfortable asking, although my boss does have a sweet '74 FJ40.

 

Interview where?

 

At a local dealership. It sounds like they're just having open interviews for any Tom Dick or Harry that shows up.

 

100% of people that work on their own vehicles will agree with what I'm saying.

Why would you dare put yourself in the spotlight and ask about vehicle repairs?! That's literally the dumbest thing you can do.

Still, a good number of us have done parking lot fixes without issue. I have.

 

Yeah, I wish you the best (not the interview, anyone can pass it) but the job.

 

I just wanted to make sure I don’t get in trouble or fined or whatever. A steering rack is a definite no with how messy it is, and I wouldn’t wanna be using an angle grinder right in front of someone’s porch. I’d also have to buy jack stands, a torque wrench, and various other tools. Maybe an impact too. So that starts to make labor seem more reasonable.

 

Excuses

 

It's almost Friday; anyone got plans?

Been overcast with rain on and off out here.

 

Maybe, but it just doesn't seem worth the trouble atm. Maybe I'll just wait til I go home.

Friday for me, just working on the house
