I can't stop thinking about your post. You have so many irrelevant questions... Police, diarrhea, losing points on your license, what the fuck man? You get in your car and you drive like a normal human being when doing deliveries. You don't have to worry about losing points because you're going to drive normally. Police? What the fuck are you going to be doing to attract police attention? Just drive the fucking car. See a stop sign? Shit dawg that means stop. Holy fuck 30mph? That means 30mph. See? Easy and no points.

Also, aggression from other drivers? A lot of people don't seem to realize this but when you're driving, you look at the road. You don't look at people or other cars to see who's driving. You mind your own business and pay attention to the road.

Just be normal and you'll be fine. Delivery drivers get great tips.

It's called defensive driving anon. I live in Florida and that shit has saved my life.
There's so many faggots that you have to watch out for on the road. I tend to prefer getting away from (i.e. speeding past) retarded ass motherfuckers before they have a chance to fuck-up in front or beside me. I also had a semi just start changing lanes into my lane (when driving on the interstate) while I was only half-way past them. You gotta pay attention in some places or you get fucked up

It's the exact opposite anon. The number of accidents I've avoided by speeding out of the way of troubled drivers is probably in the triple digits by now.

I applied online for a very low pay contract position through a headhunter staffing company. If you have no experience and your resume is pretty weak like most fresh grads are, I probably recommend doing the same, and using that as a launchpad to a more perm position as a direct hire. it sucks at first but you need to bite the bullet and accept the fact you have no experience and they're likely going to have to train you for 6+ months.

Similar boat but because I've been canned from prevoius jobs so employers are understandably cautious.
8 years experience in IT, got a phone interview with... "Nilesh" for a "level 1.5 helpdesk" that only pays 14/hr. Not excited, but it'll barely pay bills.
Luckily I have an in-person interview for a Network Engineer job that I'm qualified for today as well. Going to go fucking crush that interview.

Why not learn how to grind low tier poker tables?

Pretty much get to play card games whenever you want for some cash

If you have the discipline to study hand ranges (no more difficult than a freshman stem course)

Could be a cool hobby to pick up on the side.

Get it anon. 8 years exp is awesome, should put you in the wheelhouse for senior management role/comp. I'm not in the wageslaving world anymore, but I've learned that when you get an interview and on paper are well qualified (years of relevant work experience), they most likely want to 1) verify you're telling the truth on your resume, and 2) meet you in person to see if they'd like working with you as a person.

It's working in my favor as of right now. Apparently since it's the holidays they're trying to crunch in projects and are having mild trouble finding someone.
It's only entry-level as well.
Called me yesterday and had an interview set up for today. Hoping this process moves pretty fast. They're just an MSP so I doubt the company has a big HR department to go through multiple hoops of bullshit.

Wrong. Dumbest comment of the day. Unless your going to try being a solo and die on the street begging being trained as a paralegal will not benefit you at all, in fact in most employment interviews it will count against you because paralegal and lawyers don't do the same kind of work. If you're in law school you should be volunteering your time as a law student. If you're undergrad you should study something outside law like Bio, tech or engineering because it will enhance your chances to be hired. Lawyers who know shit OTHER than the law are in high demand. Nobody needs another retarded english major.
