Sockpuppet 0 #1 September 11, 2006 So I got fired today. I was told by my boss that I "shouldtn join in office converstaions with him and the other managers". I told him I wasnt going to sit there like a melon ... roll on 10 minutes and I'm packing my desk. I no longer want the corporate rat race, had enough of it. What jobs can I apply for. Bear in mind I'm still doing AFF so no JM/AFFIs suggestions I'm looking for something working outside in rain wind and shine, offices just arent my thing (I decided this earlier today). Suggestions below please. ------ Two of the three voices in my head agree with you. It might actually be unanimous but voice three only speaks Welsh.

Well..........it's a little late now as Fire season has mostly passed but it's probably a good time to apply Here. It'll certainly get you outside in beautiful areas. LOTS of exercise. (Think digging ditches 14+ hours a day) You can also make some fairly decent money if it's a busy fire season. You can't be a Smoke Jumper until you have 2 years wildland fire fighting experience but you might be able to land a job on a Hot Shot crew. Or..........I'm sure Gay porn needs fluffers.

pirana 0 #8 September 11, 2006 Become a consultant in a field in which you are an expert. Everybody is an expert at something. My career path planning chart: 1 - Are you an expert at anything? If yes, go to #3, if no, go to #2. 2 - Get to be an expert at something. 3 - Are there people that will pay for your expert advice? If yes, go to #5, if no, go to #4. 4 - Find a new expertise. Do a little research this time. 5 - Hire yourself out at will for as much as the market will bear and for as many hours as you can bear. 6 - Stay abreast of developments in your expertise. If you get bored, go back to #4." . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I picture it like one of those dinosaurs from The Flinstones. You know - "It's a living..." But on the bright side, you'll get a ton of nutrients. Hell, after a week, you'll be damn near indestructible with all the diseases you'll have contracted at once!

angrypeppers 1 #17 September 12, 2006 How about an airline job? You could be a ramp rat (baggage/fuel/deicing), and get the airline benefits (travel). The pay usually sucks though...

lawrocket 3 #18 September 12, 2006 QuoteI'm looking for something working outside in rain wind and shine Sounds like you should talk to Uncle Sam. Whatever location you want with extremes of weather in outdoor environments, they will have a place for you. Whether it's blazing hot, sauna hot, monsoon rainy, tornado windy, bitter fucking cold, swampy - they'll need ditches dug. As an added bonus, they'll give throw in all the mosquitos, chiggers or other miserable insect life you need to be one with nature. You can also work for the Forest Service fighting fires in the summer and fall here in Cali. Good money and ass-busting work. My wife is hotter than your wife.
