I don't know if I will come to terms with it or not but it's heavy on my mind, some days more than others (and the thing is I really like what I'm doing, I'd just like it to be in a different branch). <br /><br />oh well! this isnt about me, it's about you and how you turned your back on being a phony, so more power to ya!!! I hope you find a better job soon! =)Sylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473554645340972749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-9260593439337409692011-05-25T23:41:43.901-05:002011-05-25T23:41:43.901-05:00The way you say "learn to hate people" s...The way you say "learn to hate people" sort of implies you didn't already.<br /><br />Just saying.<br /><br />-BenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-43925835733962357842011-05-25T16:52:38.414-05:002011-05-25T16:52:38.414-05:00You're right, Adam, it's not really wasted...You're right, Adam, it's not really wasted, since I did learn.

I sold more units in two weeks than most people sold in two months. After two weeks my boss came to me on hands and knees for me to sign a full time contract. I told him that I would rather eat vomit, and then I left.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-38569922003474382272011-05-25T13:51:15.329-05:002011-05-25T13:51:15.329-05:00I consider myself very lucky.

I was once in the athletic training field in college but quickly learned of the de-fucking-plorable rate of degree-earned/good-job-relating-to-the-degree-you-spent-$50,000-on. I very soon afterward joined the military when it was easy to get in (around 2006).<br />The friends I have in sales either love it or hate it and don't make very much money. Most are in the latter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534340762086118064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-55231333463508549182011-05-25T11:01:39.692-05:002011-05-25T11:01:39.692-05:00My brother in law enrolled in the Primerica "...My brother in law enrolled in the Primerica "associate" program, and it caused no small amount of friction in my family. I loathed the company and their system, but couldn't take that out on my brother in law, who was just trying to pay the bills.<br /><br />But dang... that company combines the cesspit of sales and MLM manipulation with financial chicanery. They aren't pure evil, but they date it on weekends.<br /><br />Sales jobs destroy souls.<br /><br />Incidentally, I did my time in retail working in a bookstore. That was actually OK, as I was just trying to help people find what they were looking for, not trying to foist new things on them.Teshhttp://tishtoshtesh.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-53725925139870272862011-05-25T09:30:26.572-05:002011-05-25T09:30:26.572-05:00@Caramael: I agree, it is a bit intrusive.

For most of those people, you simply never had a chance in the first place.<br /><br />I personally am very resistant to buying anything someone offers me instead of things actively sought out. All too often it turns out to be something you don't need, and even for things you might want, the salesperson approaching you forces a sense of immediacy that doesn't allow for proper deliberation.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09827557339032342430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-91622993932447472472011-05-25T07:48:42.653-05:002011-05-25T07:48:42.653-05:00Door-to-door sales is way too intrusive.
