I’m writing this after visiting a service provider for the oil fields. I don’t want to make this a boring read by ranting for a page along with cursing at God so I tried to make it funny. Fun fact I wore my Black Rifle Coffee Company sweatshirt so that article definitely increased my odds of getting accepted. In a couple weeks my pay will
quadruple, you know I’m ecstatic. I obviously know what I’m signing up for but there’s several reasons why this post is on the location dependent thread. I’m not leaving Illinois at the moment but good shouldn’t be the enemy of perfect. So just to recap my background:
I spent 7 LONG MISERABLE years in the food/retail industry. I will say without a shadow of a doubt that for nearly a decade my life has sucked and I have had to fail multiple times to reach this point. Abusive parents, naive grandparents, graduating from a degree that supposedly guarantees employment, former professors refusing to be used as professional references, etc. I even got rejected from a non profit I wanted to volunteer at lol! I’ve even been told point blank from a hiring manager as well as a career advisor along the lines of my experience is high school level work and “not a real career”. I laughed when they told me that because it’s true.
Over the years I have failed at transitioning into other industries. Just to name a couple failures one person promised to teach me how to make money on the internet but only renege his agreement. Today I can confidently say I have turned the page. I am only human so if there was one silver lining of this years long job search it would be know your strengths and put yourself out there to gain employment. In the past few months I applied for sales, oil, and [secret] jobs across multiple state lines. YOU WILL NEED TOUGH SKIN. I am grateful for leaving this shit industry I will provide some select retarded asswipe soundbites for your entertainment that I’ve heard over the years:
“The food industry is awesome” --said nobody ever
“Climate change is real! I read the government studies!” “Obama is the first black President!” --Self hating white liberal that drank the CNN koolaid
“Fracking is bad for the environment but you do you.” --Loser who owes 100K in student loans for an acting degree
“We know you left us at $12.00/hour we’ll hire you back at $11.50.” - Hiring fag who makes significantly less than me now as well is a living joke at one of my former employers
With all that being said I want to thank the following:
Wi30 for giving me sales career advice
Graft for giving me sales career advice. We have pretty similiar career paths, would love to meet him one day. His sales datasheet is a must read and guys like WallStreetPlayboys advocate sales for high pay careers.
EndsExpect for giving me medical device information. His advice has saved me thousands of dollars no lie.
Scotian for PMing me information that has ultimately led to this moment. Very epic oil thread and you can add me to the list of people profiting off of it. I can’t say this enough scotian is a gem on this forum.
There are others that I have thanked privately I am overwhelmed with joy. If I missed anyone I’ll apologize in advance. I got a lot of work to do for the next few hours. The icing on the cake is I will finally, yes FINALLY address my dating life with a higher bankroll and months of downtime to game.
To repeat my signature:
"For the folks who stay ignorant and hating and not improving their situation during these Trump years, it will be bleak and cold once the good times stop."
The working class (especially the folks in retail) are going to be pissed when robots and other cost cutting measures cut their jobs. Socialism will be on the rise. Turn your life around, make it better, or be prepared to be eaten!
FUCK YEAH!!!
