death of a salesman [working]
i sat through a meeting and workshop today. i got to see a lot of the managers that work in southern california. damn, everyone is so young that it kinda made me feel like it was a gathering of camp counselors or something. the thing they lack though is maturity, the experience that comes with age. however, they make 2x-3x more money than i which makes me wonder how well i would do if i applied myself to sales. if i did it for a couple years, i'd have enough money to go back to school for something. only, i'm not a salesman. it always makes me feel a bit sick in the stomach to sell something. even when i would simply answer the phones at the ucsc alumni association and answer people's questions on the benefits membership, i could never believe in the benefits and convince people to buy a membership. yet with the opportunities available in sales in this company, my eyes are starting to twinkle but i could never work in a mall kiosk--it's so naked and small. i'm the type that really needs a computer at a desk.
