Be warned - real life rant.
Back about the year 2000 I moved out to State College to go to PSU. Long story short I ended up getting into the mortgage business, and made an OK living doing loans as a loan officer. I was in very good shape and played a high level of outdoor volleyball tournaments.
In 2006 I got recruited to be a "Notary Closing Agent" by a buddy who was making upwards of 100k doing it.
I started and it went great. About 70k 1st year, about 45k 2nd year, and things started sputtering some. I gained alot of weight from not working out and drinking a lot and traveling all over the state doing closings for people and not having time for anything else.
December of 2008, the Title company I worked for went out of business. The Owner recently plead guilty to embezzling 1.6 mill, though we all know it's more like 15. 99.99% of my business was gone.
I decided to go back to school, and I thank my wonderful girl for convincing me to do this. With financial aid and loans I actually get some money back which is awesome, and they are online classes at a local school (not an online school) so the credits should be good good for transferring.
I moved out in this area (Marion Center) PA with her, and where as it's awesome living near her family there is NOTHING for jobs here.
As upbeat as school has me feeling after an 11 year hiatus from it, I am going down the tiers of jobs and landing nothing.
After traveling the state and doing purchases and refis for people, notarizing and completing hundreds of pages of paperwork per transaction perfectly, handling very important matters and ditstributing millions of dollars in checks, it is as if my background makes me unhirable.
Tried to get sales job with Dish. Fail. Tried to get merchandising job for ****ing Pepsi, fail. Tried to get a mother****ing job delivering pizzas for Papajohn's. Fail.
I don't know if people look at my background and think I'm full of shit, I won't care about their job or what but it's so ****ed up.
Any suggestions from anyone would be welcome. Flame if you want I don't care. This is a cool forum with a lot of sharp people so figured I'd spew some if anything to vent.
BOL all.
