I am currently a carpenter working long hours and disliking the work, I am also an avid Real Estate researcher (soon to be investor outside of my own home).
Because of my dislike of my current job, I was trying to get an entry level position at a bank (e.g. bank teller) because I want to understand how banks work better, and I need a job to get mortgages. However, no one looks at my resume because it has nothing related to money management on it.
I`ve also spent 2.5 years in the U.S. Infantry (including 7 months in Iraq) and lots of security related training. Although I hate the weird hours (nights and weekends), it seems like being a security guard would be an ideal job for me. Aside from the patrols I might need to do, I could literally work on RE while sitting at my desk at work and my resume is STACKED for this line of work. Can anyone tell me downsides to this scenario, or perhaps things I`m pretending not to see?
Note: I already dislike my current job, so the advantage of changing is not a more likeable job, but one that`s more conducive to my RE ventures.
