never said you do need a college degree to get rich, but both you and i know that on average someone with a degree will pull in a lot more $$ than someone without.

anyway, i could be proven wrong regarding this verizon thing, i was just giving my opinions and observations..

 

Gates is an exception to the rule...most people who "don't have a degree" didn't willingly drop out of Harvard.

 

if we were talking about a carrier that does considerably less business than verizon, i'd be more inclined to agree with you. however, working at best buy and being only around the corner from the verizon corporate store (im not talking about a mall kiosk either) i have had numerous customers come in and say 'damn, there was a huge fuckin line at the verizon store!'. i dont know how well i'll do, but i have the experience and customer service skills to do well in this position.

regardless, the base salary is more than i was making at best buy, so that fact alone, and the fact that i wont have to sell ipods, home phones, or other shitty cell carriers is reason enough for me to leave.

i live at home and am a full time student, and im doing okay with the money i make at best buy. selling a product/service that i like, and not having to deal with 'best buy bullshit' as its so affectionately called, on top of the fact that i'll still be making more with just the base salary than i did at best buy makes me happy. if i only make $10k in comission, fine. its not like i live a life that requires me to make that much money. this time next year, if im still working there, i'll report back and let you all know how i did.

anyway, the point to this post was that i got a new job making more money and selling a product that i actually like. thanks to those who congratulated me, and to the nay sayers- maybe you're right. maybe you're not. i guess we'll see.

ps- i AM staying in school full time to get my bachelor's degree, so this is by no means a cop-out to try and make money as a 'career'. im just making more money doing what i already know how to do. so sue me.

This thread can't go on forever. Let it die.

 

i can't seem to find an 'overall' category but in most cases T-mobile and verizon were tied. in some t-mobile was better, and some verizon was better. in the 'southwest' apparently verizon sucks. :dunno: that has nothing to do with me and my sales here in maryland.

and, for the record, cingular scored higher than verizon in only ONE section, and that was 'wireless call quality' in the south west. nextel, of all companies, scored highest here.

 

i was just expecting some sort of response to my posts. i was working all day so i didnt have much time to participate in this thread while most of it was going on.

 

disclaimer: did not read whole thread.

My buddy makes well over $40k at car toys (sales floor) and made around $60k back when he had more hours and worked as asst. mgr.

 

Congrats. I quit BB after 2 weeks :wiggle:

 

Who gives a flying fuck about what company is better? Some people will be on their carrier's nuts, some people will be on their employer's nuts...it goes back and forth. Just give it up already, jesus christ.
