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?

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....

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.

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.

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

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.
