Do I have the most metal job here? Hyuk hyuk. I buy steel for a fabricator here in the Central Valley. We make it into buildings.

This thread is depressing as fuck. 
I hate my job, but I hate the job market even more at the moment.

I'm actually lucky enough to study Audio & Music Technology in Bristol, UK! It's pretty much all about the science of sound, plus getting to use a sweet studio and talking about music and audio production all the time! In my spare time I'm working hard on my band (myspace.com/asgods) and honing my (rather crap) mixing/engineering skills.

I have also been a local guitar instructor where I live for 6 years now.

The mail notification's contents mentioned something about how you sold mattresses... that sounds like the kind of job that only exists for cheesy porn plots.

haha well I did sell mattresses but I didn't feel like bumping topics. I didn't do it for a long time because the owners were trying to make a cult out of the company, a bit like wal-mart, and cults don't love me. But I heard some stories which were worthy of cheesy porn plots. And employees had sex together and the clients sometimes had weird requests and sometimes ladies have surprises under their skirts. I am from the city but it felt like the company was a tiny village. With all the little stories about everyone and blablablaaaaah.
But during a recession, collecting people's debts is a paying job. But do I really want to do that? So now I am wondering what is the difference between a n00b ebayer and a tr00 kvlt one.

Cheesy porn plots, a cult, mattresses... yeah, you're going to have to go into more detail.

Well what can I say? 11 hour shifts, around 5 clients on a normal day, sometimes a woman walked in, tried a bed and had very little clothes under their skirts... if any. Usually they are not the mega sexy ones. The cult is because of all the love and feelings and emotions they talked about, the constant meetings where all the people in the company would gather, on Sunday mornings.
Well if you read some motivational book or some "emotion selling technics" or whatever, it's pretty much that. It's a way to make people feel in a big strong group and they are doing something great so their life is great so it's all great and they owe it all to the company. That's where I bug. Working sucks but I will do it and I will be happy when I walk in because otherwise it will suck more and sell less so I give you my time you give me my money and no one owes nothing to no one.
And girls with surprises under their skirts, there's tons in the bars and nightclubs and places where there is alcohol.
And mattresses can save your life!

Badass dude, I'm getting my degree in Geography (conc. in Urban and Regional Planning) this May, and am taking a GIS class now! (and I know there will be much more to come in whatever job I end up getting, since I'm from the tech generation). How did you get into it?
