Had a job interview..got the job if i want it
 
Man oh man, i've had job offers coming out the ying yang. Anyways, i'm working at this communicatoins place right now and today i had an interview at the GM dealership here. I told him i am looking for a job which pays more than $8 (minimum wage) and he said what would i expect..and i said $10. So now i can 'have the job if i want it. My current job only pays me $8.67, i am like 98% i'm gonna quit my current job, cept its kinda fun..hmm

well dude money is not always the issue. gotta like what you do, you know ?

Grip72 11-05-2002 06:49 PM

Ya, but i have an idea of taking a mechanix apprentice so i dunno what to do. Plus working at GM i'd be indoors for winter and at my current job i will be outside sometimes in -30degree celcius weather up on a 200ft tower..not my idea of fun on that aspect...

Well what kind of job would you do in the GM dealership and what do you do now?

Kyle 11-05-2002 09:35 PM

gj on the job dude...i say take it!

Leave on good terms at your other job. If the GM turns out to not be as cool as you thought, then you haven't burned your bridges. Working as a mechanics apprentice would be my ideal job. You get paid to learn to work on cars? crap, I do that now for free!

The difference is that you are working on your car. There you work on other peopel's cars who also complain and *****. That's not always easy.

Ya, i'd be starting off doin maintence and oil changes, but its better pay and inside!! nice and warm!

If you're making 8.50'ish. You want a solid job indoors and you like working on cars. The 10$ for the job you speak of sounds great. I on the other hand couldn't make or live off of 10$, but if it works for you, take it.

I'd take the new job in a second. Working on towers in below 0 temps is :crazy:

blind34_1 11-06-2002 03:56 PM

oil change places suck! but if you'd be moving up then go for it.

Kyle 11-06-2002 04:05 PM

He never really said what he'd be doing...

Go for it dude, if your really into cars you'll be better off doing something that you love then all the people you ask if its a good opertunity that work at something they hate.

Work at what you love and are good at and the money comes to you, and I'm a prime example of that.
