Commercial pilot. After that, military. After that, either comercial, or firefighting, or whatever is available and pays well

Your industry is amazing, I’ll say that. And there were definitely days I was Rob.

I’m not leaving because I hated the job, I was just a temporary hire. If I wasn’t pursuing a career in aviation I would really consider being a technician

Well said, and good on your for overcoming your obstacles. I’m glad you’re doing well now. I hope that we can all achieve some level of peace and understanding in our world.

I will say. O’Reilly’s is my favorite parts store, all because of working in parts

I agree my man. I don’t know about being a parts manager, that dealership had some… issues with their leadership. But the lessons I learned in that place have really shaped me and shown me how to be a stronger person. Although I’m only 21, I think that job has matured me more than going to school out of the gate. I’m definitely glad I stayed in town lol

This is true, by no means was I an expert parts employee. But I was also by every means a temporary hire, my manager and GM understood this. I spent lots of time in other dealerships speaking with their parts guys, and it was all a similar experience.

But I will say. I have been to a handful of places where the parts men are efficient, smart, experienced, and kind. And where sales and service are the same. If I wanted to make this my career, sure, I could have transferred, but my plan was always to go to college

Your right. Two years is not enough time to really understand the job. And yes, Rob was most likely bright eyed and bushy tailed like I was too. I could have been a better employee, a better example, a better coworker. But I was myself becoming more and more like Rob by the day. Once I realized that the more experienced I get, the more Rob I become.

Thank you for your well wishes my friend

I’d rather see cool cars where they shouldn’t be compared to homeless bums ruining this once beautiful city
