Career Advice - Page 2

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?

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.

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

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.

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.
