    There you have it. The next golden opportunity ! All you have to do is listen attentively and do the best possible job of helping people get what they want.

    The company i work for was bought out by the employees awhile back. If i had to guess, i would say that at least a third of our sales are items that you would put in your cooler. When one of our technical advisors recommended that we get into selling Yeti products last year i looked at him like he had three heads. It's turned out to be quite profitable for us. There's a pretty good markup on those things. I never would have seen it because it's completely out of the range of my experience, but somebody else on the team did, and now we're all benefiting from it.

    Advise to an eighteen year old ?

    Keep an open mind to all of the opportunities that come your way, go with the flow, and be tolerant of all the diversity out there. It might not be your thing, but it might be important to someone else.
