What to do?

I need ideas on other things I could do for a living. Apparently I chose wrong. What would I be good at?

My two cents... colbymulkey September 25 2007, 14:08:23 UTC
You've invested a significant period of your life (thus far, anyway) in doing what you were doing. If you enjoyed it, I don't see any reason you should stop. Obviously you were good at it. (I'm basing that on the fact that your bad-ass car hasn't exploded yet. It hasn't exploded... right?)

That, or shoot for rock stardom.

Well, I still like my job. I just haven't been making money at it lately.

I guess that means you won't be pursuing rock stardom then, eh? (Fine -- more glory for me! As soon as I get ahold of some leather pants, that is!)

If you like the type of work you're doing, but aren't able to get by on what it has been brining in, then maybe it's time to shop yourself around. I don't know much about the situation, but...
  • you know what you're doing
  • you know you know what you're doing
  • there's usually a short supply of people who know what they're doing, and know they know what they're doing (in any field).
I'm assuming you get paid commission, based on the amount of work you do? Is the place you're at not bringing in many customers, or are there just too many mechanics? If you can, try to pull rank -- especially if you've got a good relationship with your boss.

Or you could get another job to supplement your income until you've got enough experience to pull rank ^shop yourself around. (Working two jobs sucks though ( ... )

Wo! You didn't mention the leather pants before. Rockin' stardom it is!

How about Mafia Don, Professional Video Game Player or Stripper?

Holy Crap! ziggidyzack September 28 2007, 00:23:07 UTC
I didn't know you were still on this thing! How are you? I think I'm to ugly to charm snakes.

Oh, I see. You're too ugly to charm snakes but not to strip? My advice is to become a test subject in world domination experiment and spend the rest of your life (or until you get cancelled) in space with robots making fun of B movies. It doesn't pay much but you'd be on TV. And with my future husband, Tom Servo.

And if at all possible you might become slightly cooler.
