    Best advice I can give you is to stop looking, start living, and you'll find it naturally.
    Different strokes for different folks.

          I was just applying for a position at Advance Auto when my internet cut out. Starting all over again. That's frustrating.

                the problem with working on cars for a living is that on your days off all your friends want you to work on their cars. i'm a chef and have been a cook all my life and thats what i get. all sumer long, i'm the bbq guy, holidays, yup thats me too, friends getting maried and the list goes on and on. ever see a mechanic who's car is driven into the ground. there's lots of them. like me coming home from work and microwaving a hot dog. you just get tired of it after a while. go ahead and be a wrench, but keep all your friends e30's at arms length or it will get old fast.

                  Worked there as the commercial parts pro for 2 years.

                  They're okay. But don't expect anything more than $8 an hour, even if you increase their commercial sales $390k at your store in a single year of working there.

When I enjoyed the volunteer work, it was clear that I should get trained so I could get paid to work as an RN. I like the idea of a job that can't be sent to foreign lands.
