I quit my sales job

It’s just not for me. Most of my dad’s family were quite successful in sales. You can only go so far being autistic/adhd. At some point you need to have the intellectual capacity to comprehend what people are saying to you. My skills are in long term memories, mathematical comprehension, calculating numbers, and writing. It was all tested in my IQ test in high school. My biggest weakness was auditory comprehension so that’s a big red flag. I spend most of my free time analyzing things inside my head. I don’t fit the typical mold of a sales guy. Some of my family has found success in corporate finance and I think that’s where I’ll go next.

I’m going back to school

Congrats on the realization, Bill. Best of luck!

What can one do with a history degree?

The world needs ditch diggers, too.

Oh, good!
The world needs plenty of bartenders.

Have you tried Jeopardy?

Maybe you could be an announcer for ESPN on college game day.

Uber?

The people who collect money at the New Jersey toll make like 80 a year.

Bartending is a noble profession

You could try Shipt, Bill. A mix of finance and interaction with people, but not too much because you’re mostly on the road, which keeps everyone happy.

Get your CDL, not joking I could get you a job at Fords the next day driving truck do 85K a year. 3 weeks off to start.

I was shoveling chicken shit for 9.75 an hour in 1983 at the MSU research farms.

Apply for an amazon delivery franchise. Former coworker in FL did this. It's gotta have a lucrative future. He was making good money.

What about changing those lights up on The Mackinaw Bridge. Shits cray

Indeed it is.

You could be a railroad track tester guy. You get a company pickup truck and one of those cool converters that lets you ride the rails like you were a real train. You could even buy a train horn for your truck, and yell “Choo-choo!” whenever you drive past little kids.

Fords in Dearbern or Fords somewheres else?

Pedophiles killed the ice cream man

What’s going on with Amazon Prime? I feel like the changes to shipping and the poor quality programming on prime video make it not worth it anymore.

Don't know much about history.

Could a good looking man like myself thrive in real estate sales, knowing that he only comprehends half of what is being said to him? I have a pretty good offer on the table

On the other hand, I think I heard they are coming with some epic Tolkien thing but it hasn’t even started filming yet. Not sure I can wait. Thinking about dumping prime and getting Netflix.

This sounds like the premise of network tv’s next big RomCom.

I use the photo backup service they have, but do I really need it? Probably not. I used to listen to a lot of music on there but again, with my new job I don’t have time.

Jizz mopper.
