I had a job a bit like this in the early days of Chegg. I got fired after a week mostly due to incompetence in new areas I had never worked in before. But I learned a lot and at least got paid for the week! Interesting that they checked my

After 22 years coding, in 2001 the dotcom bust ejected me into finding an alternate income/career. I explored various options sequentially from getting my used car salesman and real estate licenses without any success - qualified to be

Most of the housing was built in the 1960s and your average 3 bed 2 bath 1500 sq ft ranch is worth $1-2 million depending on school district. Most other places in the country these houses would be worth $100k-$300k which is why it all looks
