So my son (28 y/o) finally quit his sales job in Louisville. The gig was a direct-to-consumer, commission-only sales-and-management job working for a company that seemed to enjoy moving the goalposts when things were going good and providing little or no support when they were not.
I have no doubt he'll land on his feet. He can sell anything to anyone.
Now that he's put the prior gig behind him, his horizons are wide open. He likes Louisville and would stay there, all else being equal. (He moved there from Maryland three years ago).
But he'd move for the right opportunity.
I've suggested he check out bourbon makers in Louisville (they have got to be looking for people who can sell) but he's not sure he wants to mix his professional life with what he enjoys recreationally.
I also think if he could get a job working for a sports franchise somewhere, he'd move tomorrow. But those jobs may be few and competition fierce.
Anybody got any leads? Experience-based advice?
