With all the financial problems I've been having lately, i really starting looking at my priorities in life and what i need to do. So i took a proactive approach and did something about it. Starting Monday i'll be a GM for Firestone. So much for using my 6 years of college!! heheh.. I will be working part time with a colleague of mine conducting therapy, so its not a total waste.

Firestone is willing to pay me %50 more than where i'm currently at... so... yea.... i cant pass this up. Plus, cheap rims and tires.... expect lots of burnout pics with the camaro

Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. If you are willing to be mobile in the job area, you can come out ahead in the long run...

Aye... gotta put other career plans on hold for now to make the ends meet.

Oh, and by the way. What i won't miss about my current job is something that just happened.

Being called at 2 am by some nurse practictitioner saying, "So and So is suicidal, do you think we should commit this person? They are psychotic and threatening suicide."

Ugh.

Good luck. I think you'll be happy there. My husband has been the Manager of Firestone for several years and they are exceptionally good to their employees & families. Actually we're leaving next week for Mexico courtesy of Firestone. Last year they sent us to Aruba.
Good luck wth your new job.

psychotherapist with a couple of years as general manager.. perhaps do an mba..and you are shooting straight for HR manager.. not the worst job.. just keep your resume in mind when applying foe jobs and you should come out ahead.. and having a degree never hurt anyone, not having one have hurt many!

Congrats, at least you get to keep the camaro for sure now. Plus a 50% pay raise is quite a bit, nice work.
