View Full Version : Wanting to move on..
Tails
02-08-2011, 05:12 AM
I'm getting tired of my current job, I hate the hours, the job itself (customer service cleaning the entire store) and just about everything about it. I want to move on but have no idea what to do. I came home sick tonight (have to go in tomorrow if I don't I'll have to get a Doctor's note) and still don't feel that great.
I've just been thinking of things to do and nothing comes to me, I'd like to work in a call center or something, but the main issue is driving, I do not have a license which I am working on atm. So right now I wanna look at working from home or something for the time being. Do you guys have suggestions on how to accomplish this? I was suggested by my Mom to restart the Snack shop she did, but I wanna see what other things have.
I'm just at the point now that I need to find my place in life and really for me it's like a deer staring into head lights. Thanks.

Well for myself, I just decided what it was that I enjoyed doing, and made it my work. That way there is no work, only play. I couldnt do a crappy job so I had no choice really.
This can take a long time to achieve depending on your field of interest though. You like video games and anime, why not try to make a job out of it? The snack shop sounds like it might be cool too, mind you.

I have no idea how to bring anime in the picture, not a good drawer, and it seems my story attempt failed. Video games, I know I am good at finding bugs in stuff, haven't looked into that area as of yet. Looking at Nintendo.com | Nintendo - Corporate Information | Career Opportunities (http://www.nintendo.com/corp/jobs.jsp) I could do anything but Developer, I do not want to do that. I am great at Customer Service, so might look into that (if I can figure out requirements).. damn no jobs available atm. Would be nice to work for them or something.
The Snack shop did bring in a lot of money (and less assholes like I get at my work) and might be my option 2. It'd take commitment to set it up on my own though (willing to do it, I actually enjoy wheeling and dealing, it's due to playing Orbit/CollecToons since 2002), get a sense on what people would like and go from there. Nothing big though.

You love anime and video games. Learn Japanese and go work with someone who does a lot of import distribution like Atlus or X-Seed.
I didn't get a license until I was 22 and I had already been driving for 7 years. I never got pulled over and that never stopped me from going to work. I'm not saying that you should do the same, I just don't buy it as an acceptable excuse. You can always ride in public transportation. If you really are tired of your current job, then you'll leave and find a way to go work at that call center. They usually need people to work anyways. What are you pending with your DL?

I'd actually like that. o.o I took ASL (american sign language) in school which did me no good seeing Teachers only put on movies like Shrek 2 so they did nothing.

The issue is I am scared of trying new things. Like in school, scared to try jeans, afraid to ride in the plane, afraid to work etc. Definately know I need to put up though, I THINK there's one right around the corner too.

Not necessarily the actual preparing of tax returns, just the many hours away from my family. Most of my daughters' dance competitions and recitals happen in the winter months, and I probably miss about 80% of them because I am at the office. I would be at the office from sun up to sundown, enough time when I come home to wolf down some dinner, tuck them into bed, then crash. Rinse and repeat, six days a week until April 15th (this year because of holidays and the like, it will be the 17th). I know there are some people who work longer hours than this and hey, more power to ya, it just does not work for me at this time in my life.

You'll miss out on many great experiences. I'm a cautious person also, but there are somethings that I would have missed out on if I did not take a "leap of faith" of sorts. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, they are learning experiences. I have learned that from my 4 year old, she has no fear, it's fun to watch, sometimes inspirational.

I know there is a place here that teaches a business class and after you graduate they guarantee they will get you a business loan to start whatever idea you have. You could start an anime shop or something like that.
Also, you thought of going to school? If you want a job at a place like Nintendo you will probably need a degree.

Besides it being dangerous (my luck like I said when it happens in it's 20 year history I was the cashier to be robbed :p) due to area bordering it. Usually when I'm off I try to do as much as I can in one week that I should do in two weeks. All that does is make me put stuff off in the end, either it's something small on here (game requests) or something somewhere else. Not healthy, I don't recommend it.
If you don't mind me asking what are you gunning for now?

This was like in 2008. I regret it.
What did you wear before jeans?Sweat pants/shorts.
I know there is a place here that teaches a business class and after you graduate they guarantee they will get you a business loan to start whatever idea you have. You could start an anime shop or something like that.I doubt an anime shop would work where I live. HOWEVER, I did just remember something. Could ask my friend who owns that Arcade if he's looking for someone to help out there. It'd be like RU there really.
There is some schools around here (many of them that end in Oak) that I may look into. But I also don't wanna do something so rash I end up hating it. Like learning Japanese, it makes me wonder if I'll get bored of it. Guess this is an example of "leap of faith" Sabby just said.
Also, you thought of going to school? If you want a job at a place like Nintendo you will probably need a degree.Yeah, I have, just nothing of interest. I figured that would happen (sadly I saw nothing on qualifications) and I do like the idea of bringing foreign games to the states like with Atlus too. So many series that were over looked during the years and it sucks.

Tails, this is a little far fetched, but how about the Peace Corps?
Right after I graduated college, I was about your age and I was very unsure as to which direction I wanted to take in life.
I came within inches of joining the Peace Corps and even though my life has turned out pretty good, I wish every day that I'd taken that leap of faith and joined.
Understanding that you are generally opposed to trying new things, this might be completely out of the question, but if you want some adventure in your life, travel to places you've never been, help those less fortunate than you and make a little cash and earn some great resume building skills, it might be a good 2 year investment for your life.

@Tails: A fluency in Japanese can bypass the need for a specific degree. Being a white, American male actually works in your favor. Think about it, it saves them from relocating someone else, you're already well ingrained into the American culture, and they'll believe (rightly so) that it'll be easier for a white American male to gain shelf space for their products in stores owned by mostly white, American men.
All it takes is determination. You could even learn while working.
I would suggest doing something that forces you to stretch your comfort zone on a daily basis. Joining the Peace Corps might be good for that.

Peace Corps (http://www.peacecorps.gov/)I'd say the last week I worked I had either a drunk high guy rambling about it or a real recruiter for the Army offer me 20grand to join. I tried Football in high school and hated playing it (I was always asked to join since I was 6"3' and basically a tower). I'd have to say I would compare it to football practice.

Actually, Tails you'd be surprised how many people don't really know what they want to do with their lives. I've known people who graduated from college with a degrees in a specific field, then once they got out decided that they really didn't want to do that thing afterall, and end up working somewhere like Wal-Mart or McD's (not that there's anything wrong with those places) while they try to think of something else to do.
The good thing is that you are still young enough to be able to realistically make a decision like this, and just the fact that you are asking for advise about it and seriously trying to find a real career path shows a level of maturity on your part.
Good luck buddy! :)

@ Tails - The Army and the Peace Corps are two entirely different things. For one, there is no basic training in the Peace Corps. No combat either... ;)
The Peace Corps is all about doing humanitarian work in impoverished areas. For instance, you might be able to travel to Japan and teach English to 1st graders. At the same time, you'd learn Japanese and have plenty of free time to travel or explore other interests.
This is just a vague example, but hopefully you understand this is NOT the Armed Forces.

Peace corps may be an option but Tails should be aware of the commitment involved. If you sign up and get sent to a place like Haiti you can't just decide you changed your mind once you get there. Well you probably can but you're stuck in the middle of a foreign country and they aren't gonna summon a plane to take you home on a whim.
It's not like the military at all really but it's also not summer camp.

The process is called trial and error. Yeah, there is a good chance you won't like it, we have already discovered that you don't like customer service/retail/clerk/cashier. If it blows, you can get out when you commitment is done. The typical commitment to the Peace Corp is a little over 2 years (training and deployment). Plus something like that probably looks tight on a resume when you get back. Besides, what is the worst that could happen?

Great idea Tails; I've always gone to places that give me a card they punch or stamp once per purchase towards a 10th item free of lesser or equal value.
Also I can tell you from direct personal observation of Vancouver's coffee culture that atmosphere is as important as product and service, but the atmosphere can draw customers back and even endear them to your place.
Such is the case with a tiny coffee house around the corner from me, very cozy, friendly, colorful {they have an interesting 'Zodiac' mural on the ceiling} and just nice to sit and relax in.
'Homey' I suppose is one way to put it.

It's actually from our house. My Mom got a vendor's license back in 2009? (that or 2010) it made good profit due to her "bring a friend get a free item" promotion and being right in front of a basketball court worked great too. I am GREAT at suggestive sell so I could prolly push anything, at first get stuff I like so if they don't like it no loss in it.

Having regular sales is a great way to get repeat business but only if the sales are actually worth it. If you have Red Hots a penny off one day people will lose interest because it's so lame and it seems like a bait and switch. Advertise a sale to get them in the store but the attractive part turns out to be a turd.

Yeah it's like how walmart always claims to beat any price but when you get to the store it's like 2cents off. Some people don't care but that kind of thing does turn off thrifty people who shop smartly. It comes off as dishonest and fake.

I agree with that logic, it honestly depends on how I can get good deals. Sam's club is a must.

Well that's probably because Walmart forced the other value places in your area to close.

Nope that was when I lived in a larger city there were plenty of places it was just mind blowingly cheap
Where I live now in a smaller town of about 15000 they sell alchol quite a bit cheaper than anywhere else in town but everyone else just jacks there price up cause we have the lowest unemployment rate in the us so they know they'll get whatever they want.

So Walmart sells booze cheap to a town that is rocked by unemployment and alcoholism? Talk about sticking to their strong christian values! Bunch of greedy hypocrites.

No not the highest unemployment the lowest we all got money here so everything is super expensive. I was looking into buying a new truck here it was about 50000 and 100 miles away I could get it for like 42 everyones trying to rape each other

And on Monday, I've got to go back to school and deal with 1000+ teenagers, at least Spring Break is a few weeks down the road for me. I really don't like that one part of high-school, the part where I have to be around people that I don't like. I have a few friends, and a good amount of people who I am able to tolerate, but there are some people who's faces I want to bash in every time they open their mouths. Good thing I am not all that aggressive.
"bring a friend get a free item" promotion
That is one hell of a sale, I'd bring in some random guy off the street just to take advantage of that deal.

1000+ man I'm glad I don't have to deal with that much. I know how it feels I have some people at work I would love to tell were to go.

Btw Tails if you're gonna sell candy I'd avoid putting up any anime posters. Just saying.

I would stick to that as your only sale.It's basically to refer people to the shop without advertising it and people wanting to rob us etc. I live right next to many bad towns.
Out of all the ideas you were given you decided to sell candy?Not at all. Goal is to quit Walgreens, do this and go to College. The Atlus thing, something to do with the weather, or something with fixing computers (like how Kong does it) are all in my mind to what to do. Basically first step into something better, I'd be too drained going to college and studying after work atm.

It might scare some customers off, and might attract a crowd of thirteen year old girls who are loud and will never leave.
They will then contribute to scaring off customers and the group would grow exponentially.

Oh, I do get it though, you can't expect me to be serious all the time.
I figured I could joke about it as I assumed that it was really obvious as to what the problem was.
..Uh, how about the guy who posted right before me about this subject? Not sure how you thought I was talking about you. .
So, I've been demoted to "the guy who posted right before me"?

@DM- I was being cheeky, forgot the emoticon again. ;( Also I called you that because I was posting quickly and that's how I would say it. I didn't give myself enough time to compose my post like I normally would. You have my apologies.

03-25-2011, 11:27 AM
It's okay, I know all of that. No need to apologize.
You missed Tenser's response to my asking if I was called "Stupid monkey boy", he deleted it and my response to it in turn. Let's just say you missed something good.

Site Mods can read deleted threads/posts, I think he was ignoring it to prevent it from being brought up again.

Yeah if I didn't ignore it that'd be rude to Tenser since he deleted it. Also it was untrue and kinda stupid.

Sorry for bringing it up again.
