A new beginning

so for all of my life I have been a laborer and blue collar guy. As some of you know I have some health issues that have got in the way of the work I am trained for. Finally my dr said I can work part time but I need low stress...well that really was not a option in the line of work I do. So I figured what do I know and what can I do? So I did some thinking and came up with fishing and Cigars. So the other day I sat down and talked with a high up in the b&m I go to regularly and asked if there were any hours I could have. He told me they were over staffed at the moment but he’d keep me in mind. Well to my surprise and delight I will be working in the cigar world and get paid for something I’m very passionate about. I’m very happy they are giving me a chance and really hope that I can possibly impact another newb to one day become a cigar geek. The future looks brighter now and hopefully everything will turn out for the best

     That's awesome. Don't know you, but glad to hear it and congrats. Now work in a little moonlighting as a fishing guide, and you'll be set! Maybe throw in some beer consulting..

    Had a sit down to go over everything they want me to do and well it sounds really good. I’m really suppose to help train the other employees about cigars and how to sell and describe them. They are starting me off on a good hourly wage which is much higher then expected. Plus the hours ain’t bad so I’m happy and I get to work with friends

    getting paid in cigars... Living the dream!
