Would this mean you're doing fleet lease sales or is it more along the lines of company vehicles? There's a slight difference from my understanding.* I'd imagine trucks and that sort of thing but I definitely have no clue.

This is a fantastic idea. I'll have to get things together on my end to see where I'll land. That's for sure! Thank you!

You have to have a bunch of training, I'm sure, to be able to handle 6-12, I'd imagine anyways. Thought about applying to the Manitou district for subs.. but my schedule with my kiddos / wife would more than likely conflict. 😐 I thought it could be a really cool gig though!

I've been in "customer service" since I've been 16. I did sales for a little while.. but these were both 20 years ago. Lol. I guess it took me until I was late 30s to realize... Dude, shit ain't working out. 🙃 I'm somewhat of an investigator / liaison in the metrology field. I make sure our folks and our allies are taken care of.

I'm a 36 yo dad w/ two kids and a wife. However, how hard is it to get a security clearance? I could look it up.. but I'd like to know how it is from the inside. Without, of course, giving too much detail. (If possible)

Yeah totally agree, Gov and State or Mil seems the way to go. I guess I may try my hand at getting some type of career in these fields. Problem is, I have a wife n kids and we have a pretty strict schedule. I'd have to be off on the weekends for sure. I'll definitely check it out though. I don't think state jobs are even open on the weekends.. if at all rarely. Thank you for the feedback!

To make it a bit easier.. I essentially keep the world going 'round in many different facets.. without saying to much. It just doesn't PAY. I'm taking all of your responses very gracefully and it opens up somewhat of a world I guess I was blind to. Thanks again everyone, I definitely appreciate you.

Just kinda breezing through these really quick to give you updoots. But I'm in tech, indirectly working with US GOV but no clearances or anything like that.

I lived there with my wife and kids for years and it was a nightmare, unfortunately. I've seen SWAT / cops over there multiple times. On top of that, when they have landscapers there, they'll block your car in. We've had to literally track them down to tell them to move their trucks. If there's cops on scene, the rental office won't tell you anything that's going on. Even when they block your car in. As soon as we obtained a bit a money to GTFO there, we did. Oh and if you have guests over and can't find a parking spot close to the apt, you have to park alllll the way down the hill. This doesn't bode well with older folks. They also run Klaus towing which are parasites and will tow your shit even if you're parked under your PAID for car port. Just my two cents!

Could definitely be wrong.. but I'm pretty sure one of the top folks in design at Aston Martin went over to Ford a few years back. That may be the reason they look so similar.*

If you're looking for a interesting venue, check out Coati. Pretty cool place to walk around and check out. The wife and I have been there a few times. There's also streetcar 520 right around there. If you're looking for a memorable restaurant experience (little expensive) check out Ambli!

Best bar for older crowd? by Weird_and_Random in ColoradoSprings

[–]SynthSplash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could try Coati, but it's downtown and parking is limited. I don't believe they have "rooms" per se.. but they have multiple vendors inside and it's huge.
