I'm like...seriously, wtf? Sales and Engineer should never be used together to describe a job...There is nothing about sales that requires any sort of engineering...You talk to people and BS them into buying shit they don't need so you can get your commission. Maybe the engineering bit is about engineering your best BS lies to nab the sale... :idea:

Retail work will destroy anyone's soul. It's worse than feasting on freshly used goat butthole. I'll never do that again unless I have literally NO other option.

I looked into JAG and was pretty excited about doing it. There was kinda red tape that prevented that from happening though. Something about my having already graduated but not having taken the bar. Kinda sucks. Seems like it could have been an interesting job.

This is where i am. Assistant manager at a busy-as-hell video store. I'm really good at it, the pay is alright, but it's stressful as hell. Taking two weeks off starting tomorrow. Pretty sure that place will crumble to the ground without me there.
