Finding a J.O.B.

[Myles Coles]

So I am currently 21 years old you can date my posts all the way back to when i was 18 looking to get into REI. I've learned quite a bit but not nearly enough. I find myself wondering without a path, only a destination. I realized, as I was applying for different security guard positions, that sitting down/walking around for 8+ hours a day could have close to no benefit to my REI career. The original plan was to walk into various mortgage companies, really anything real estate related and ask if they needed any help with their day to day operations. I understand getting my foot in the door is probably the most monumental hurdle I have probably encountered as it is life changing if i succeed. Really all im asking for is some advice on what you think i should do. I have no one I can accurately talk to this about in person because no one I know is a REI, and they say "take advice only from someone you would trade places with." I'm just so tired of wasting time, I know I could live up to any task placed in front of me, its just about finding the person willing to trust me with these tasks.

Thanks for reading and i hope to hear from all of u soon!

It sounds like you need to get off your butt and do something rather than wait for someone to give you a path. No one is out looking for you to help you improve your life. Pick a path and go... readjust as life happens and your knowledge grows. It's not as if you're derailing a successful career at this point.

Who cares how long you've been on the site? You haven't DONE anything! Get up, get out, get moving. Making words is only useful if they are tied to action.
