You think I haven't tried to get a job at Walmart? Both as an entry level employee and as a logistics/business management role.

They loved my idea on how to bring the store to a 95% automation rate mostly using tech they already owned with compatibility to their current supply structure. One of the regional managers canceled one of his appointments to listen to the details on how they could use it for their new small foot print stores they were talking about using in northeastern cities. But still didn't get a job.

You are clearly not familiar with 1099 independent contractor status. It is treated like an outside consultant so you don't count as an employee, and thus don't get the more common legal protections such as minimum wage. So my $6 an hour is legal. If you look at the history of employment and business you will find that new types of legal workers statuses appear after legal protection show up as firms migrate based on what is seen as most profitable.

I think like an engineer, but got a background in business. This makes me very good at getting things done, but it confuses the HR people to no end. I had one company send me back and forth between their engineering department and their business department 3 times. They kept saying you're so smart, but you seem to be more technically inclined. Here is a transfer and recommendation to our engineering department. Then the engineering department would say i didn't have an engineering degree and did poorly in the placement exams, but I was clearly intelligent so they transferred me to the business department. It was 8 months of stress and forms, till they just stopped responding to my emails after 8 in person interviews, one of which they payed to have me fly out to the corporate office.

And don't give me that business major so just start your own business junk. There is a fighting obstacle course on that road that makes the statistician in me feel like playing the lottery is a good idea.
