Pletko, the military never wanted me once they found out I have flat feet. I sound like a clydsdale trying to run and can't run too far without being in too much pain. True, I do have a lot of Lexus experience and still have a lot of friends in the industry, but it doesn't look like they are hirring around my area.
Cheesemaker, I don't know the first thing about selling Avon and really don't want to get into a sales position if I can avoid it. BTW, my wife and I want to take a trip up to to Washington and Canada in the next couple years, so we'll have too look you up when we take a tour of the Tillamook factory.
Coastie, I have a freind that just got out of the coast guard and he really liked it. In fact, they are paying for his schooling right now. I'm not sure I could spend that much time on a boat without catching fish!
I just found out that AutoAnything.com is based out of San Diego and they are hirring. It should be a shoe-in for someone with my background - and they pay better than being a mechanic. I'm going to send of my resume to their HR dept. right now.
