(29,322 posts)knowing a highly likely going to be deployed particularly with the MOS I choose. I did. I'm thousands of miles across the world and there are family issues I'm too far away to do anything about and did all that.
I already tried a job like that years ago. Sales, you'll see ad promising so much. I put on a suit show up and am basically not hired, I wouldn't be good for. I don't try to pitch people, it is a skill that I do not have. Telemarketing you show up and only a few survive long term though.
My only "street job" was recycling cans. The only other thing I tried to do was eat, find a place to sleep which for the most part was the park during the day time. At night there is no where because you're trespassing anywhere you choose and I couldn't unless walking all the way out to the desert, even if I tried during city limits I couldn't sleep worried about either a cop or anyone else coming across from me. Fell asleep using a backpack as a pillow near a bus-stop one time woke up down the hill next to a wall with my backpack gone.
The telemarketing thing was used to illustrate why I don't like to panhandle and I'd rather starve than panhandle. I'd rather collect cans than panhandle or telemarketing. Thankfully I haven't had to do either since my period of homlessness and helping family right now. What is the problem?
