Career Advice
 

So I'm considering another career change.

What could a former Marine/network engineer/remodeler/charity president/message board guy do with his life? I can do sales and I like helping people.

I want to make $250k but I'd consider opportunities starting at $75k. Heh.

Any serious ideas?

This might get uglier than Hyperlite's thread about GC's avy.....

If you want to make 250K, dont take the 75k job. Upper management will screw you before you get the big bucks.

Id suggest you sue Rosie O'donnel. Something she has said or done has to have impacted you very personally and in a negative manner. Call Donald and suggest a class action suit.

There is good money pitching for the Royals and you dont have to be that good. I hear they pay roughly 1 million per winning game based on past results.

What a great idea for a thread.

How an architect? I always wanted to pretend to be an architect. Or General Manager of the New York Yankees?

I just retired so its hard for me to be unemotional.

I miss the corporate world so much.

Well, I'm willing to make some concessions in light of 2 things:
1. I'd likely be changing fields or industries.
2. My last job paid $500 per year.

Dude, I'm hiring a Bowl Warmer, 25.00 an hour

Is it full-time? Would you consider paying $37.50?

Are you George Costanza?

OK now we are getting somewhere...

We need to zero in on something between 500/year and 250K, so we can safely eliminate anything paying under $500/year.

Damn..Im becoming a consultant. I need a lawyer and a contract. Wait, my kids a lawyer.

I should also add that I'm very good at Spades.

I dont know...ask Nick Athan...

Now that's just mean spirited and discouraging. Anybody know where I can find a high ledge?

Dude, be a trucker, thats a kick ass job. See the country, experiment with Meth, get into small time wrestling. I would suggest dockworker, but Kansas City is kind of landlocked. Move out here to Oakland, I hear those guys make 6 figures.

Okay, I think we've covered all the Nick Athan jokes. Do you people have no Christmas spirit?

Is that a step below a Resin-Scraper? Or a Screen Cleaner?

Out of the christmas spirit.......I will say I am just givin you a hard time. Nothing personal ya know. :p

This tape (found here ) might be able to help you.



:)

sales huh? what about a orthopedic or pharmaceutical rep. I heard of an orthopedic rep who did pretty damn good.

Love to. I know a couple pharmaceutical reps who do well.

Are you tired of the remodeling (or tired of trying to get paid for remodeling?

It's very hard to make any money remodeling without working yourself into an early grave. Looking at some of these guys who are 50 and look 70 scares me. But yes, I've been screwed once too many times. That is a strong consideration.

I made good money in the 70s raising hogs. But you need to have some hogs.

How are your people/management skills?

Hunts should be looking for a GM...

I have a rental prop that needs a bathroom re done...new drywall, tub, tile suround, ....

Call Bob @ Port Aransas ( TX ) Fishing Tours. Last I heard he was needing a guy to run the business. You help the old retired folks on there fishing tours , pays 150k's per year and you get a title with your name........













































Phobia, Head Master Baiter

I think they're strong. I recognize that I have some weaknesses in the area but I know what they are which is helpful in combating the issue/delegating those responsibilities to somebody who possesses those strengths.

No thanks. I'm overqualified.

How about some Pimp'n! :) Just avoid the people in blue.

Do you pay your bills?

That lucky dog even looks like me a little.

Run an insurance agency. Make good money and have time to post on this place.

There's not as much money in a smalltime hog operation any longer.

I'm sure that's a quality living, but I'd rather watch paint dry.

I'll take it.

(can I warm my bowl too?)

I'm assuming you don't drug test

I pay my bills. I even bonus with beer for good work.

Do you have a contractors liscence?

If you say so... :)

MO & KS do not require one for remodeling.

contractors license. Sorry, Skip.

No offense, I just don't think I'd be very passionate about selling insurance. It bores me to tears just thinking about my own policies.

Do you think you could get more work with it? It seems you have construction skills. I would focus on that. What can you do to grow a business in construction?

Hire a consultant

I'm not sure I want to continue in the construction field even if I experience more success. Surely there's something for which I'm more naturally suited.

You should have hired out to Kevin for his remodel job. You could have made a fortune off of him with all the work he's done.


:)

Been there.... Done that....

You could sent Pink to work and sit at home with the daughter and post on the internet.

:shrug:



There's also PGA Pro - Tiger makes good $.

You could sell cars. I heard this guy on the planet say that there is tons of money in it.

OK, I take back what I was thinking about you.

I've heard you can make good money selling cars as well, if you have no scruples and like working 6 days a week.

How about a brain surgeon or a streetcar conductor?

I'm not as dumb as my spelling makes me look.
:)

Seriously, stick with construction.

Did you take you name from the golf term as your avatar suggests? Bogey.

how much for a blow job?

I did.

If you can find someone to back you for a bar, I'll gladly be your head bartender.

You should try something you like to do?

Maybe catering?

Damn good food!

It looks like Sedated is interested.

Here is a Christmas Gift from Hoover

Talk to Kyle and buy back part of the Planet. Then you need to find investors and buy/build a bar near the stadium, and Call it Chiefs Planet. It could be like an internet bar. You could then charge an extra penny on all purchases which would go towards the website. You’re a great host, and it would be a blast.

If you can't make the Chiefs Planet Bar a go, then I'll give you my dream bar plan. Buy an old Post Office that was built in the great depression, and put in a restaurant/bar and call in Claven's, you could make the coolers look like the back end of those gay mail trucks. The bar tenders and waitresses could wear long black sock and grey shorts. And since you will most likely have a post office box outside, your special holiday could be April 15th, Tax Time. Drop off your taxes at the Claven's box, and get a free drink, because you need it.

Cool, keep me informed.


Speaking of bartending, I'd better get started on that eggnog....

Google Adsense and Affiliate Link Programs. Heh. Up nearly 2K since August. :-P

Don't forget your uncanny ability to play table tennis with everyday household items. That's got to be worth something.

You're pretty sharp for a dog, actually.

Bob Dole is still amazed that Phil and Pink got you your own computer.

lol
listen to you talk that jive

fresh from Athan!

Uncirculated even!

Do you know anything about trees? My dad sells trees and makes about 120K a year. He works his own hours. He has to travel alot at certain times of the year but I guarantee you it's not hard. I've went on business trips with him. You get your own territory that already has residual business that buys from the company every year. All you really have to do is go talk to your buyers to keep rapport, bullshit about sports and hunting and tell them your shrubs and trees are good.

if you dont mind moving there are always computer type jobs here in CA and since u have network engineering skills and ppl skills it should work out.

We just bought a house and got settled in. I'm going to be looking in the KC area - especially the South side.

Does anyone out there still use Vines?

Out of the basement finally? Go you guys.

I'd give you some advice, but that sort of like a blind guy descibing color to another one.

Actually doing some rehab on houses might be a good use of your time and talents. I see good deals in this market all that time and usually pass residential stuff up.

Dave

I will be semi retired in about 10 years at the age of 51..I would like to know what you think about an offer from a friend of mine who owns property in Mexico(Cabo).he owns a boat here on the east coast..we are both avid fisherman(salt water)..he will be retiring about the same time as me..after he retires he is going to move to Cabo and will be running a charter out of Cabo.he needs help with the boat/an assistant he says to me...
My question is..what would you do Mr. Phobia??if you loved Cabo(like I do)and fishing..and the relative cheapness of living in Mexico..problem is..most of your family lives on the northern and southern east coast..

Thank you Mr.Phobia,

bill parcells

Have you thought about opening up a cockfighting ring in Raytown?

I hear the Raiders need a coach...

Heres another occupation

How do you put that on a resume though. That's one of those skills you really have to see....
