I know that they give you more when you sell more....but I think they eventually try to fuck you....I've had a couple of friends of mine work at Suntasia on Ulmerton.....they got closed by the feds a couple of months ago.

They had about 500 callers on a few shifts...they had MAD fucking employee turn over.

You should get involved in a trade...and work from the bottom up. You are young....go for it. Plumber....HVAC....Electrician.....something that people always need.

its for this place called Quality Resorces. they've been around for years. we're only alowd to say whats writen in front of us cuz theres so much legal stuff involved. so we're not alowd to free style at all really. and theres some states where we're not even alowd to ask them twice if they say no. but yeah, its a sliding pay scale. base pay is 10 an hour. but once you start getting to about 70 or 80 sales a week the base pay goes up and there's weekly bonuses and daily also. so its real easy to get up to about 20hr. but they just started putting me on the phones last night. im still training but once i get better i got to earn a desk. so i got to be able to do better then someone else who is bombing out.

<-- Jobless at the moment, but I can't work how I am at the moment anyways, i'm still on crutches and will be for the next 8-10 weeks or so. But will hopefully get to my 'glorious' job bagging at publix, until I turn 18 and can finish my classes at PTEC for automotive refinishing/repairing/estimating/painting/welding, etc. but I think I might not finish that as the industry is getting worse and worse, people wanting the cheapest possible work over quality, so I might start classes for business. I still don't know, was originally gonna join the air force but i'm not sure if I still can. /rant

Joining the service isn't too bad..except if you have to go fight....that would suck, but you need to know that could happen.

i like the idea of sales though. im really good with it. i just dont like the whole script thing. it doesnt give me any room to work really. but like you said, ya got to work from the bottom up. once i get some sales ex. under my belt i can start moving to other company's that have something better to offer.

Its all internal customers for the firm I do work for. If they have teh pr0n on their work computers then they've got a bigger problem than I can help them with.


But we do have to tell them some interesting things, from time to time. I'm still waiting for the day I NetMeeting into someone's computer and see some messed up shit on their background.
