What should I do?

[Motoracer]

I think I might be leaving my job at some stage in the nearish future.

I am not sure of what to do for a job so I just wanted to seek some advise here.

I am coming from a customer service background so I've got good peoples skills and I have the knack to pick up most things rather quickly, specially technical things. I haven't got a Uni degree or anything and I just have diploma in travel and tourism for my qualification. If all fails I could always work in the travel industry where I am atleast promised lots of hot single women! But is that really enough reason to stay in a job?

Hmmmm, obviously to race I need to make lots of $$$$, so what do you guys reckon is the best way to make good money. I'd rather have an out and about job than a desk job but at the end of the day money is really what I'm after so if the pay is good enough, I don't think I'll be complaining. Oh and no, I am not going to be a male prostitute!! I wana race but that's just going to far to get the money for it!

Any ideas?

Well its always good to be doing something you love yes ? so bikes would have to be this so here are some ideas.

1/ Travel agent specializing in motorsport events ?
2/ A motorcycle tutor (for learners)
3/ A motorcycle salesman (hey if jimmy can do it )
4/ Re Train and become a motorcycle mechanic
5/ go to journalism shcool and be a freelance writer (you got the knack there)
6/ Sell your soul to the devil and fund and race a GP racer

Just some ideas.

But lucky for you, you are young and have many options, so dont be scared to break the current mould and make a new one.

Youre to ugly for a prostitute

Dealer in human body parts??

Damn, there goes my suggestion!
Open a racing school along the lines of the California Superbike School. Track time and money, what could be betterer?

There are many sales based jobs these day's that will actually help you to get a degree/ qualifications based on aspects of the job you are employed to do. What you need to think is, do I want to stay in customer service if so, are you good with numbers? Banks offer competitive wages and NZQA based courses which they will pay for, then once you've done that you can move into a career of your choice etc.
Travel agency would also be a good job, and if you have experience they may be more favourable in offering you a position . . They may also offer the chance to do other courses which could gain you quals etc.

There are soo many options I know, but what you need to weigh up is where you want to be in about 5 years and take the path that'll get you there.
Good luck with whatever you pursue dude.

A) Cheers for the ideas mate! I was going to give you some rep points but the stupid thing told me to spread the points around so I need to give others some points before you get it again.
B) I look GREAT and I've got the goods to make a great hoe, thank you very much! (A hoe only for women that is!!!!!).

Join the Mafia eh? I'll keep that in mind.

That would be the retirement plan IF I do well in top level road racing first. Gotta earn the name and respect first, along with lots more experience and knowledge.

It's not a career option for myself for the near future but for the Travel agency that's a good business idea. I had the packages last time round but I didn't have time to do the whole KB thing well in advance. I will get on to that and let you guys know.
