Which job? Advice sought

[Fidel_Castronaut]

I've never been a salesman but I've always heard it's where the money is at.

Try being a door to door door salesman.

You've obviously never tried to sell to English people.

Don't accept whichever is offered first. Decide which is your first choice and if the other one offers first, let them wait and contact your first choice saying you would like to know soon because you've had another offer but you'd rather work for them.

I would go for whichever pays more to be honest.

Yeah I agree bro.

I'm a sis.

You seem very smart, AC, just a little lost. You'll do fine no matter what you do. Life is full of roads not taken, but it's all an adventure and there are few things that are REALLY big mistakes. Trust your intuition about yourself.

Thank you for the encouragement, I hope you're right!

Go with the first one.

Money is a provider of happiness... but if you will be happy in another place, then you don't need the money to provide it to nearly such an extent.

Consider the lesson of this "joke." Remember, recruiting works both ways.

One day while walking down the street a highly successful executive woman was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up in heaven where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself.

“Welcome to Heaven,” said St. Peter. “Before you get settled in though, it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once had an executive make it this far and we're not really sure what to do with you.”

“No problem, just let me in.”, said the woman.

“Well, I'd like to, but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you want to spend an eternity in.”

“Actually, I think I've made up my mind...I prefer to stay in Heaven”, said the woman. “Sorry, we have rules...” And with that St. Peter put the executive in an elevator and it went down-down-down to Hell. The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her were all her friends - fellow executives that she had worked with and they were all dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her.

They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner. She met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy (and kinda cute) and she had a great time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand and waved good-bye as she got on the elevator.

The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and found St. Peter waiting for her. “Now it's time to spend a day in heaven,” he said. So she spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. She had a great time and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St. Peter came and got her. “So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven. Now you must choose your eternity,” he said.

The woman paused for a second and then replied, “Well, I never thought I'd say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell.” So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and again she went down-down-down back to Hell. When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends were dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks. The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her. “I don't understand,” stammered the woman, “yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable.”

The Devil looked at her and smiled. “Yesterday we were recruiting you; today you're staff.”

^ fantastic joke, 10/10.

My two cents? Try before you buy so to speak. Is it at all possibly to job shadow either place? Forgive my ignorance if this has already been discussed. I'm at work so I'm just sort of jumping in.

Most employers have no problem accommodating someone who wants to see what they do day to day. Sales is pretty transparent though. Push lousy products on people, and make sure you get that warranty out as well!

If you learn to sell, it could help you in countless other fields which you might go into.

Money is a provider of happiness...

Actually, it depends on one's view in relation to the money that decides if it provides happiness.

In most cases, earning the money only makes one miserable.

However, spending the money is what provides the happiness only if one has the means to spend it on what really makes him happy. Most people have to spend it on bills, which only makes them more miserable.

Sick and twisted loop we have conned ourselves into in relation to the monetary system.
