If you want some real constructive feedback, try submitting it for publication.
OP, if you don't want anyone's help, then STFU and go back to your unfulfilling repair jobs.
Nobody likes a whiner.
Also, maybe tone it down a bit, and choose to say nothing if you have nothing nice/useful to say to another long time member who is clearly working through some stuff in their life.

What is stopping you from giving it a go? you haven't got the job yet. Put your resume in, if you get an interview ask them all the questions, and if they offer you a job THEN decide if its right for you. If you don't get the job, decision made:)
And the fictional writing thing, how is anyone going to read your stuff if you dont share it? Every second 19yr old art student wants to be a fictional writer, those that get attention write and share things. Short stories or whatever, start a free wordpress blog and start posing things up for people to read.

I’m a tech at the local BMW dealership and love it. Working on a brand I love and they moved us all to salary so there is no stress if you have a bad week you still get paid the same amount. We work every third weekend and 8-5 Monday through Friday at 5 o clock unless the car is a waiter you can drop everything and walk out the door no long days. People say dealerships suck the life out of you but I’ve been here nearly a year and still go out to my shop and wrench after work on my own cars until 9 or so a few days of the week. Getting my parts at cost is a nice perk too.

Screenwriting is an extraordonarily challenging industry to break in to. It is rampant with nepotism and other people trying to steal your ideas (see above).
...never ever ever post your writing/ideas online.

If I'm going to be a detailer somewhere then what better place than an independent, family run luxury car dealer? The deal breaker is the lengthy commute and flat rate pay.

I'm sure there are good/honest car dealers, but I need to pass along my father's experience. When he retired from his main career, he went to work for a Big 3 dealer in suburban Memphis because he knew the owner. I've never met a more dishonest group of people in my life, and this dealer had one of the better reputations in town. They all lied so much that I think they couldn't even discern a lie from the truth anymore. After working there for two years, my father was picking up the same bad habits. I remember several instances where I had to ask him, "Do you know that what you just said was a lie?"
They would also rip off customers as naturally as breathing. My father being an employee and friends with the owner did not exempt him. They screwed him out of money numerous times. Best thing he ever did was quit.
Whether it's Ferarri, Hyundai or Joe's Used Car Emporium, it's a dirty dirty business that attracts scumbags.

Sorry to force you into your safe space. I guess the disclaimer in the first sentence was not enough for you.1992 325i Cabrio

The dealer in question values people that are willing to learn and have drive more than if I have 15 years experience and am miserable to be around.
