All are useless for the most part unless you wanna be an accountant like my brother or something. 20 years later and he’s finally a partner at his firm and hates every second of it. Go into tech sales. I barely know anything about tech and still crush at my job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re not cold calling. I deal with mega global customers and just work to make them like and trust me, coddle them, and get them contracted on new services. It seems daunting if you’ve never done it but it gets to be second nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If $15 an hour suits you and makes you happy then by all means enjoy. I basically gamble all day and coddle my customer’s when I feel like it. Every other 2 weeks I get a 6k+ check give or take.

Somewhere between $75-$250 Haha I see us both here dicking around all day while we're supposed to be working. I make more gambling on golf than I do at my actual job, and on an average day I might do about 2-3 hours of actual work. I can't imagine being 40+ and making $15 per hour. That has to be deflating.

Yup. Sounds about right. Spend much of my day reading forums , researching/trading stocks/options and going to the gym. Most days do maybe a few hours of actual work.

If you’re still at $15 an hour in your prime earning years then you have really failed yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before he made partner he was talking to my mom about changing careers. He works weekends and hates his job. I have no idea what he makes but hope it’s a lot. In his spare time he gets to take care of his step kids. I pity my brother. He and I couldn’t possibly be any more different. I’m as anti single-mom as you’ll ever meet and the thought of being an accountant would drive me insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
