So... I got laid off today... Anyone know of any Service Advisor positions open? Or anything for that matter that pays a decent wage...

What do you wanna be when you grow up? Seriously? Whatever it is, start looking there maybe?

I've been looking for photography jobs as of last night... Haven't found much yet... But I've been really considering going back to pursuing law enforcement... Just need to get back into the proper physical condition.

Maybe this would be a good opportunity to start school, whether it be community college, university, or VoTech. It'd make money tight for now, but it will pay off in the long run.

Yes, plus a degree (any degree really), will take you further in law enforcement as well....

Yeah I'd actually been getting ready to go back to school while I was at Toyota considering the schedule was perfect for night classes (3-12's). But unfortunately financial situation right now makes it difficult to do school full time. Looking at online courses until I get some debts taken care of. I have an interview tomorrow with Chevrolet/Hummer of Bellevue, though it's with Lithia and I'm not too keen on working for a large national dealer network. I've found that they tend to treat employees more like numbers unlike the smaller family run stores.

Military pays monthly. Not for everybody but maybe something to look into. 4 years as an MA and you could easily find work with any police department when you get out. Free college and usually sign up bonuses. Just a thought.

Very True.

I have a buddy who just got out of the Marines and is now going to school...sounds like he's getting one heck of a sweet deal out of it all.
