This is where I got lucky. I've got years of management, sales, and purchasing experience. During those years I built a network of sales, tooling, data networking and construction professionals. I'm currently a Project Coordinator and my salary is based on my experience/knowledge. I'm very fortunate that I get paid for what/who I know versus amount of actual work performed. My bosses come to me with problems and through phone calls, google and my knowledge, shit gets done. I also do heavy equipment certification training for them and do data/com work and detail cars on the side.
