ahhh! I would much rather do that! I knew a kid who installed security systems in businesses and he made some serious bank!
A guy I worked with now works for ADT and he claims to make 1k+ a week. That's a little more than I do but he works 6 days a week slaming basic alarms in and I think that would get old real quick. I wouldn't be opposed to doing something else but I can't think of anything else I would rather do.

that job sucks though. a lot of the time they have to do insane cold calling and use some sleazy tactics to make that kind of cash. also, it is full commission right?

The guy i know who did it didn't have to make any cold calls. His appointments were set up for him by the company. The only thing he didn't like was the fact that he was away all the time in different cities. They paid him well, paid all of his expenses, and paid for his hotel and airfare. He usually worked only weekends when the companies were closed and usually put in 18 hour days from Friday-Monday...

It's not quite that bad, no cold calls, they do try to up sell when on site and I don't think it's all comission, but I'm not sure.
ok maybe im thinking of a different position with ADT. i had a guy constantly coming to my office trying to sell me this and that... he tried so hard.
Might have been an independent adt dealer. ADT has a deal where anyone can sell an alarm and install it and ADT will pay the dealer for the monitoring contract.
Do what others who pretty don't have any skills does...

Really? WTH??? Imagine that a cop with a college degree. Talk about an oxymoron.
Well shoot back! The bullets are free, excuses are not.
If I were a cop I'd double tap every suspect I ever came across and club every old lady just for principle sake.

That's got to be the highest starting salary I've ever seen. I've got a bunch of family members who are cops and a few started work in South Central back in the early 90's where you had your regular 80 year old grandmas and grandpas run out to greet a patrol car with your old buck shot shotty. Good times. They don't make em like that no mo...
