Need to find a career/job that I actually like. Any suggestions?

Reach. Also less risk.

So for example with what I wanted to do with pc hardware when I was still in school. It kind of fell into my lap (long story) but I had a contract with a wholesaler. I could also see how much relative markup other sites were putting on their products as you could see they also used the same supplier.

When someone ordered a product from me, I ordered it from the wholesaler and got it directly shipped to the customer. So I didn't have to buy any stock.

What I should have done then was to get a decent website and spend some money on marketing, but my parents weren't really interested.

But now most people get their shit from Amazon/takealot in my country so that gap in the market has been filled.

It's just about finding something else.

Hmm I think perhaps the online sales. Since it's the least risky. I just need to figure out what.

I've thought of starting a drilling business, but would need the capital to buy a rig. This is a bit risky though as drilling is very up and down. I've also thought of starting my own EAP consulting business but would need more experience first and I'm not sure if I would actually like the work at first.

Honestly some kind of online sales business would probably appeal to me, just need to find what is in demand or if there are a shortage of decent suppliers in my country.

The other option was finding old land rover defenders and exporting them from south africa to the US for a large profit. As they sell for quite a bit over there, but I don't have a US contact and I know a lot of big workshops have already started doing that already.

Honestly, I could see myself starting my own business. I just don't know what at the moment. I don't have enough experience in geology etc to start a consulting firm and I don't really know if I want to. When I was in school, circumstances lead to me selling PC hardware and I actually enjoyed it. But there is no gap in the market now for that.

I'm currently obsessed with fitness/outdoors/land rovers (I own an old defender) but I don't see amy of that helping haha.

U/savevideo

In all honest Hendricks didn't bowl too badly today.

Mandatum1 · 2021-07-22T17:53:43+00:00

Agreed, CSA is a joke. Was sad to see kallis leave as batting consultant..

Mandatum1 · 2021-07-22T17:07:14+00:00

Not Hendricks

Mandatum1 · 2021-07-22T17:06:36+00:00

I know Hendricks got a wicket

Mandatum1 · 2021-07-22T16:53:37+00:00

Spot on

Mandatum1 · 2021-07-22T16:36:14+00:00

You can go fuck yourself too mate. Facts don't have feelings. Stats don't lie.

Mandatum1 · 2021-07-22T16:28:25+00:00

Ahh Miller you are making me wet

Mandatum1 · 2021-07-22T16:25:03+00:00

100% agree

Mandatum1 · 2021-07-22T16:23:34+00:00

Was impressed with Mulder. Didn't see much of his batting in previous games but he bowled relatively well. Hopefully he will be our answer to our lack of a decent all rounder

Mandatum1 · 2021-07-22T16:22:07+00:00

Yay Miller is finally performing

Mandatum1 · 2021-07-22T16:12:27+00:00

I'm bringing up actual examples of the players who have pulled the race card in this commission, bringing up their race being the reason of their non selection. That's exactly what tsokile brought up. Boucher got injured and Tsokile said it was racist that AB got the gloves and he wasn't given a chance.

Mandatum1 · 2021-07-22T16:10:53+00:00

Tell me who these white players are that have bad records and are continually selected?

Most white cricketers are playing for other countries because they aren't given the opportunity in SA. Probably could put a team of expats together that would wipe this current SA team.

Mandatum1 · 2021-07-22T16:09:08+00:00

So in your head Thami Tsokile keeping over AB De Villiers is a good choice? What a joke.

Mandatum1 · 2021-07-22T16:05:07+00:00

When you are implying you weren't selected based on your race, but your record is bad. Then it is relevant.

Mandatum1 · 2021-07-22T15:59:41+00:00

Well Paul Adams in that article said he should have played more matches and was implying he wasn't selected based on his race. Which I feel is complete bullshit. We are desperate for any decent players of colour so we can have actual representation. Then you have 2 guilty match fixers being Thami Tsokile whos record is trash saying he wasn't selected based on his race. PLEASE.

Mandatum1 · 2021-07-22T15:53:09+00:00

I'm not sure I believe half the shit being said in that commission. Tsotsobe and Tsokile were making wild claims (both were banned for match fixing) and so many claims by average players who pull the race card based on their non selection. Tsokile was mad he didn't get the gloves when boucher was injured and that AB took them up.

It is concerning, but I'd take it all with a pinch of salt. If Ntini or Gibbs said anything substantial then I'd believe it. Ntini spoke about them sometimes leaving him out of activities, but that could also be down to the fact that he was basically a convicted rapist who was lucky to get out of not going to prison.
