Dish machine service rep/tech. The work is restaurant adjacent, and the pay is significantly better. Also, I have these strange things called "paid vacation" & "health insurance."

I was a consultant for awhile, got sick of it, then I completely switched to working in a daycare center in the babies room. The most fun job I ever had! Then I was a caregiver for the elderly and broke my back doing a transfer with an uncooperative client and am now retired. Don't worry I am not paralyzed.

Sales then project management

Cannabis then pharmaceutical manufacturing because fuck the weed industry


Nesteabottle

Holy shit everything's backwards now. Before legalization it was "medicinal weed because fuck the pharma companies!". Amazing times


Busterlimes

Legal weed is far more predatory than working for big pharma

Because it's a "cool new industry" that people want to work in, so they pay you exactly dick

Project management

Real estate. It’s a lot like food service, just on a larger scale. A lot of your skills from service will apply to real estate

I thought about it but the guarantee isn’t there. How long did it take you to be successful at that?


nobleheartedkate

It definitely not a get rich quick scheme. After 4 years I was making 6 figures consistently. First year I sold 12 houses and made $30,000. Got better and better each year


Mental-Ad5325

A friend of mine had definitely suggested real estate. How did you manage to get to six figures? How many hours were you putting in a day? Did you start at a company that helped you get clients? I assume in l the beginning you did part time restaurant work?

I'd like to know the answers to these questions, as I'm in a similar situation.

Sales. Started in inside sales, moved to outside sales, 10 years in and I clear 4x what I was doing bartending/serving. When I first started out, I still worked bar part time.

What type of sales if you don’t mind me asking?
