I'll check into that right now Kingbob.
Once again thank you so much.

I applied at quite a bit of places around Houma,Lafayette, Thibadoux, Broussard, New Iberia, Morgan City, and Amelia.

So time will tell even though time is essence at the moment. Thanks everyone!

frick school, man. Get in somewhere that you know is a good company to work for. Room for advancement, good benefits, decent pay. Sure, your won't be getting top $ to start, but you also won't be acruing debt like you would if you went back to school. Most importantly, live within your means until you start making decent $. I'm about to switch careers at 29. Do inside sales now with a fastener company and am trying to get on with Publix. I'll be starting as a selector in the warehouse (not the bottom bottom, but far from the top). My uncle went to work for them at 38 and in 10 years has climbed the ladder all the way to Super-intendant of his city. Publix is year in and year out on the Forbes top 100 list of best places to work, which is why I'm making the move. It's not where you start man, it's how and where you finish.

I had a interview with vp of a local cement company that has about 5 plants. I was offered $3500/month with company truck, company card, company phone , and all benefits. Off every other weekend. Would be in charge of outside sales around my whole parish to get jobs. I know a lot of contractors so this will help . He was very very open and nice. He actuallyhad me over to his personal house for dinner and drinks then offered me. Was very nice and was sure to tell me I wouldn't be just a worker I would be family and he wants to to retire from there . Mentioned quarterly bonuses with radishes often upon me doing well . Also said he never wants to see me go to a place for a loan that if I ever need anything to come to him and ask and he will positively help out. Offered me his camps and even said I will have all the opportunities I want to go to events with him or to use companies event tickets for myself . He spoke highly of me and said though I lack the schooling or education he feels real world experience is more important to him . He felt I had the personality and energy to be a great salesman with his company . He extended the offer to me and said sleep on it and talk it over to your fiancé and let me know .

I'm going to call him back in the next few hours and would love advice as far as to how to negogiate a higher salary with him . He knows it is coming for the simple fact he is hiring me for sales .

And also what do you think about the incentives that e is offering me ? Thanks
