[Zack Lee]

I worked in the Golf Business starting in caddy shack at 15 and working up to pro shop. I also had a job at a driving range for a while

I then got a job as an investigator and eventually opened my own company

That led me into a specialty with auto theft and went to work in the car business to help a dealership chain

got back out and into business for myself around the time GPS came out

worked for a home finance company for a while after the storm

quality control/security and theft prevention for restaurants

 

[Mr. Blue Sky]

please post this video

I wish i could.. i have it packed away somewhere on a VHS tape, and a couple of my family members have it on VHS as well.. the psychic hotline commercial ran for 3 or 4 years in the late 90s, usually on basic cable at 2 or 3 in the morning... One of these days I’ll find my old VHS tapes, and take them to wherever you go to convert them to streaming (any advice on the best place to go, or how to get that done, would be appreciated)- then I’ll gladly (cringe-ly) post it.

I remember

Ha, yep.. I’m trying not to be too specific on here, but there were actually a couple different places.. the one you remember , where my title was ‘Floor Manager’, but i was basically a glorified bouncer.. and another place down the street that was a little more of a, shall we say, ‘traditional’ place.

Yeah, I have a feeling we’re going to see a distinction between those who locked into the career in their 20s and then chumps like me

All I can say is that this is a great thread idea!
It certainly helps me to feel much better about my sorry self.

No doubt that I could be very critical.
