Date: June 17th, 2013 5:59 PM Author: hairless knife theater Wise choice! You will be making six figs in no time and the only stress will be slow sales months. I have a friend who does this and he struggled initially, but once he got rolling and figured out all of the quirks of the auto biz, he started doing really well. Learn the financing aspect as well as the sales part. A few friends started their own dealership after about 10 years of sales and each of them now make in excess of $500k a year selling used autos. Don't focus too much on the "luxury" aspect either, because you can make a lot of money of shitty used cars too. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2284583&forum_id=2#23416256) |

Date: June 17th, 2013 7:39 PM Author: Bespoke forum So basically you make just as much as the law, but better hours and prospects for the future.
Grats bro.
Few pumos realize there is more and better than the law.
Q: Assuming an upward career trajectory, which exceeds your legal prospects, how do you feel about the "waste" of law school and practice of law? Do you think it was a total mistake? Something that was a temporary but valuable experience in your life? Or? |

Date: June 17th, 2013 8:10 PM Author: Excitant trailer park kitty 1: Assuming I'm able to hack it (friend at dealership who hooked me up is going to train me) I expect to make between 70-90k after a few years. Won't break six figures unless I get a large client base or move into management.
2: Law was a complete waste of time, I'm only glad that I got a pretty good scholly and had minimal debt. |

Do you plan to tell people you're a lawyer (co-workers, customers, randos) or have you buried that part of your life? |

Date: June 17th, 2013 5:52 PM Author: Excitant trailer park kitty 1: 2k draw but its a mostly commission job, I think I'll make in the 50s/60s initially (like my temp gigs) but expect to make in the 80s/90s after a few years.
2: No, will say I worked an office gig before this, thats about it.
