I had never finished high school, during my time in school i thought i
was better than everyone else. I was in my own world the system was
beyond me i was above it. I'm sure most of you will fine an abundance of
gramital errors in this and rip me apart, and i deserve it.
I did well at one point. Not too long after leaving school I found I had
a talent for sales, I worked for a company that sold speakers out of the
back of a van. The whole thing was a scam the speakers were made in
mexico by a company owned by the same guy who ran the sales oranization
in North America and even Urope. The deal was you would drive around in
a white van and look for a mark. The mark was anyone who looked under 40
and drove an expensive car. The pitch was "Hay buddy, could you use a
good set of speakers!" what followed was a story of how we were on our
was to an installation job at whatever large nightclub was in the area
and the mark would know of and the shipper screwed up the order and gave
us to extra speakers unsigned for. We, my partner and I, would get
anywhere from $300 to $1000 per pair becouse of course these were the
best and latest things in speakers! They were in actual fact worth no
more than $20 a pair, if they worked at all.
I eventually worked my way through various telemarketing firms then
telecom firms to eventially become a sales executive at WorldCom
commanding an $80k salary. I like to tell people that it was Worldcoms
collapes that was the cause of my demise. But the truth is that is was
my drinking and drug use. After worldcom I scamed my way into another
high paying jod at a company called RSL com, I was another account
executive/ presales engineer. anyway samething different story same result.
I have posted here before, i'm spewing now maybe becouse I'm drunk maybe
becouse I have to unload. I did well at one point, I think. I'll
continue the story later.........................................
What i'd realy like to do is swing from a strong branch, but I can't.
