    Wasn't there some mention of a planet eating star-goat in Revelations? Gotta be a way to put that to use...

    Financial/insurance sales. Not the CFPs, those folks know their stuff and very,very underutilized. More along the line of "financial services professional", "agents", "registered agent" and "wealth management advisors".

    The snake oil salesfolks who pick up their Series 6/63 and Life-Accident-Health in 6 weeks and pitch some whole life insurance plan or annuity, those are the ones you gotta watch...

    If you think Petroleum Engineers are "gas pumpers" then your "business acumen" is that of a fry cook.

    And what happened!!


    I personally would vouch for companies phone support peeps.

    I was on the fence for few years, like, they were nice to have around when shit hits the fan.
    You can call them up, insult them from afar and after feeling rejuvenated, continue to trouble shoot on your own.
    But nowadays they either hang up after your first outburst or even worse, offer some semi-retarded-but-well-rehearsed advice that you end up trying...and regretting.




    Fuck you adobe and apple.

    The floggings will continue until morale improves.

    Mine is real estate agent so I can enjoy my starbucks in peace without hearing some overly made up 50yo blather on about motivated sellers and granite counter tops into her blue tooth all day.
    That's what you get for going to Starbuck's

    Legally mandated gas pumpers. Nothing like spending 20 minutes getting gas because only one guy is working but there are 6 pumps sitting.

    Looking at you New Jersey...

    Just watched Wolf of Wall Street last night so any position on Wall Street. Lets go back to bartering. I was always fascinated with the Thunderdome.
