I've tried all kinds of shit.
When in high school I worked in the family pharmacy, and a restaurant my dad had.
Since then, I've worked for a swimming pool construction company, a cotton farm, and a high risk/interest finance company doing repo's and collections.
I tried working for a mortgage company, but I couldn't take being in the office all the time.
So I moved on and sold cars for about a year or two. That was tough gig, but a shit load of fun at times.
I still rememebr all the lingo.
After failing at that, I went to work for a fertilizer/chemical application company. I made manager after about two years and started doing some things on my own. I tried to accrue as much knowledge as I could, and became certified in all types of industry related programs.
Certified Arborist, Turfgrass Professional, Pesticide Advisor/Applicator, Crop Advisor, yada yada yada...
When the opportunity became available, I jumped into the commercial landscape care business, and have been here ever since.
I hope to be out of it in the next 1-3 years and will hopefully open a restaurant.
