Default What do you do for a living?

I myself sell car warranties, but I am getting burnt out, Just so stressful and today i received a call from an elderly lady that had a 800$ claim denied!!!! thats BS, our warranties average cost is 3300$ for a 5 year program and they can't pay out 800$. I need a differnt item to sell before i flip. Anyone have any suggestions or hearing what you all do will give me ideas.

Understood. While I was looking for a link to the thread I mentioned vtec9 beat me to it. It looked to me from the original thread that he wants to move on and is looking for suggestions.

I think you should become a car salesman. With what you presented, it seems you'd be good at it. No guy likes authority, I hated being someone's bitch. I am self employed now, it's so nice, but it took balls of hard work to get here.

A couple of weeks ago I hung out with some internet bigwigs (myspace etc.) and they guys I hung out with said sales is where it's at. If you have personality for it, you can make big bucks.
