Work vs. Career advice

**Ky1986** · 10-11-2010, 12:30 PM

I'm 23. Currently working at a car dealer selling vehicles. I used to be a mercedes-benz field engineer but gave that up to join the USMC. I was medically discharged for my poor vision and after i came back my job was no longer available. So i found myself selling junk american cars. oh how i miss 'mother-benz'.
I'm currently going to a local community college taking random classes to try and find some excitement.

I am interested in pursuing - computer technology, automobile claims adjusting, medical field, or starting a business but can't find enough funds!!

Do any other INTJ's find themselves bored easily with jobs that any feeble mind can do? I hate selling cars. Mostly because it's feast or famine, but also because it takes no thought to do it. I need something mentally stimulating, i like desk jobs and looking professional - which is the only part of my sales job i enjoy. I don't care if i have people interaction, i could sit at a desk all day long as long as it takes intelligence and thinking to get the job done.

Any ideas on what i could look into or how to pursue a career that i may be able to do with my current auto-engineering background.

Dust off your resume and call your old pals from mother benz. Ask them for help getting back 'in'. Speaking from experience, USMC on a resume is a good thing. A friend of mine even got a bad conduct USMC discharge and he got a job making 50K a year back in 1997 with no problems right after they kicked him out. You just have to own it.
