Thank you all who defended me from the irrational objection by one or two AZBr's to this thread.
If i recall correctly, Mike was working for Andersen Windows, the PREMIER window Mfr in the Country and selling their windows is more than likely an excellent job! I merely wanted to know if he was still with it because if you can make it 3 years, you can probably make it for quite a while, perhaps a lifetime, make good money, be eligible for Social Security and benefits, paid vacations etc.
It's sad that he cant do that in the pool world and he obviously knows that. It was the right decision and I am happy for him and even proud of him.

Nice that sounds like it was a good tango. Thanks. I may watch that one if it’s still available
ha ha, I remember I bet a bunch on Mike here on AZ on that match. Youth usually wins
I don't know what windows cost up north, but down south a person can make a good living selling them. Darn things are expensive as hell and pay a good commission. I personally like having money in my pocket, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a job, not a thing.
I wonder if being a pool player translates well to sales. (I'm guessing yes.)
It would be cool if Mike came across home tables during his sales and made a few trick shots for the homeowner bangers.

It has been my experience that a good percentage of salespeople that I have ran across, whether it be cars, real estate, retail commission sales, whatever.... Are a bunch of sleazy, smarmy douchebags who operate under the mistaken belief that they are smarter than you, and can con you into buying whatever it is they need to sell you. More along the lines of bullshitter than helpful sales associate.
Im quite certain that lots of pool players would have no trouble transitioning to this job title if the need arose. :thumbup:
And those commission based roles usually work pretty well for both the employee and the employer.
Irving Crane was a Cadillac salesman. I wonder if he ever sold one to Fats? :rotflmao:
Everything is more expensive up north and he is selling Andersen Windows in MAINE where they need double panes for more insulation making them more expensive still.
good read
my take
-thread clearly created in anger and bad taste
-Mike is not an athlete
-pool is not a sport

..Ahahahaha Go back and get your GED!
He shows up late and has no idea what is going on.
Cause clearly a guy that gets a job, supports himself, and isnt broke begging others to put him in action is a failure
Sales of new single-family houses in the United States rose 1.3 percent from the previous month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 719 thousand in November 2019

Those new homes need windows.
If Mike lands some steady builder clients that would be a steady income. I hope he is doing well. I miss him on the joss tour, some great battles over the years there.

I think Mike works for Renewal by Anderson. Their products are replacement windows and doors.
Renewal by Anderson replacement windows are a great product. I had twenty one windows and a sliding glass door put in my house many years ago and they look and function like new. Top notch windows, I could not be more impressed. It seems Mike has been there for a few years now.
