[QUOTE="Ford>Chevy, post: 15651613, member: 166567"] To the OP, The biggest advice I learned in terms of jobs, is bust your ass, network, and never turn down any offer you get. I have a couple reasons why I truly believe in these philosophies. For the 1st, busting your ass helps boost your image as a worker. I am currently working on a 4 year degree, and I did well at my job, my boss instantly hires me back for summer work. No interviews, no nothing. I give him a call, I submit my paper work, and I get hired back, simple as that. Busting your ass helps you create an image of yourself, and people will be more likely to drift towards you, in my experience at least, which will also look good on future job applications when they see you were hired back every time you applied. So I guess what I'm saying is, always do your best even if you hate it, just keep the future in mind, and your long term goal. It's ok to change your mind on what your life purpose is. Life is a journey, not a sprint. When feeling troubled on what career to choose, just take life a day at a time, and don't rush it. You have a LOT of years ahead of you still. The 2nd reason is very important. Networking is extremely important in any endeavor you will find yourself in. With you working at a Nissan dealership, it is the perfect place to network. Try and talk to customers, superiors, etc. If you want to get into LE, you already have the perfect contact in your father as a retired trooper. My dad worked for the FBI in Boston for 26 or 27 years, and although I didn't choose LE, I would have first networked through my dad. So network, network, and network. And the 3rd is pretty simple. Never turn down opportunity. You never know when it may suit you most, and if you think about it, a lot of people end up pursuing a job not in the degree field they chose (if you go the college route). Just always be open to opportunity. You can't say you hate it unless you try. And once again, a great way to network. And again, always make sure to bust your ass, even if you hate it. The process is a cycle if you look at it broadly. The more you put yourself out there, the better. Shoot me a PM if you want to talk some more! [/QUOTE]
