The interview didn't go badly, they said I qualified for a second interview. The woman I interviewed with emphasized how it was a hard job, and most people wash out.
But I have to pay like $175 for a licensing fee. It's straight commission sales. No base pay. I have enough savings to try it, and so far no other options yet. They asked if I had a rough financial situation. I lied and said no. It can take a couple months to get sales, even for people who end up good at it. Going two months without income means I go hungry some. Going three months means my dog goes hungry some.
I still have the dream of using some savings for provisional patent applications and prototyping. I don't want to burn my finances getting a job. Shouldn't jobs pay you?
So I'm maybe even more down than when I started. So today I'm emailing my old manager from an internship, and a professor I know to see if they have any openings.
And I still haven't done my 20 minutes of cleaning today.
I don't work much, how can I get almost nothing done?
