Once upon a time, I sold cars for a while. I did better than anyone else there my first month. I never replicated it, usually did just slightly above average sales after that. I quit after about four months because I hated pressuring people to buy things.
Likewise, I had a temp job working with a collection agency to coordinate car repossession companies and I did really well in spite of having no experience in collections. I had more than a few job offers from the repo owners because of my ability to interact with people and stay on top of the lists. It was only slightly less depressing than being there while my father died.
Thanks, me too. It was only a few years later that I got dragged into the IT world where I've been ever since. It's far less depressing, although we're in desperate need of a union to represent us as businesses develop automation to replace the non-programmers among us.

Sorry about your dad. I hope whatever you're doing now is much more rewarding or at least less depressing.
