It's hard to find that dream job, life keeps changing. I went to auto tech in high school then joined the Navy. I was in aviation and stayed till they said it was time to go. Many memories and great times, rich no, but pension yes. I'm on my second career being a SPI jobber. I get to sell a great product, talk to shops and techs about classic cars, motorcycles and hotrods throughout the week. Don't be a jobber if rejection hurts. Best part is when you introduce a product, and the painter finally gets the result, and their face shows the satisfaction.
I'm like AAE now, my boss is demanding, critical, setting extremely high standards and expectations.
