What does everyone do for work? I need to change jobs.

And please make sure you set them up with PLUG power units to go with them.

Electric fork lifts suck.

Electric fork lifts suck.

That is why I would suggest a hydrogen fuel cell GenDrive forklift.


Besides, having a work crew breathe all the fumes from fuel powered forklifts could end up costing the company a lot in healthcare down the road.

What I want are propane and propane accessories.

I was an assistant store manager for a big box retail company. Looking back every aspect of the job was terrible. Never ever be management at big box retail. Pay was great, upper management are complete ass holes you will be promoted solely based on whether your boss likes you or not, that's it. You manage 40 people who all need money but will call out the next day for work and decline to pick up Any extra shifts, but then give you a sob story about they can't pay rent when they have a new iPhone 6 the next monday. Use to drive me bonkers...... All of the friggin cashiers are 60yr old women giving you their life story about how they are about to be evicted but constantly call out for shifts and always have cigarette money



I now manage an autoparts store. I work 55 hours a week and I love what I do and I get great pride in helping people. Essentially my own boss with a handful of employees and I really enjoy teaching employees to be my little robots of automotive knowledge

To answer the question:

1. Technical sales leader in the oil and gas industry.
I parlayed my engineering experience, people / communication / technical writing skills, contacts, etc in to a leadership position at an oil and gas packaging facility.

2. Co-owner of a wedding/event planning company.
I handle the behind-the-scenes stuff relating to accounting, HR with our contractors, lawyers, LLC & sales tax/use things w/ the state of TX, etc, etc. I've also put in a lot of work with vendors and other crap to make things like this happen and generally help keep our front line people equipped to do their thing well.


And now to give advice:

Don't look at oil and gas right now.
Dude, you have talent... and a lot of it. When you say you have thought about going back to school are you thinking 2 year, 4 year, trade school, etc? Outside of cars, what do you do for fun? What do you enjoy?
I'm not saying try to turn a hobby into a job, but that could drive some direction. Outside of your mechanical inclination what do you think your other top strengths are?

Fuck that shit! Front end manager. Mostly what I do is handle upset customers.
Now especially with the Dallas County bag ordinance in effect. I see worthless pieces of shit getting for $500 worth of groceries for free "EBT" bitching about a couple dollars for bags. About 50% of them do not buy the bags. Instead they'll take whole shopping carts. sometimes two and three loose just like that out the door. Fucking heathens.

Work at costcos problem solved.
