Nashville is all warehouses and trucking. I used to live there but left because jobs were shit. I'd go to the job centers and look into trade school. Nashville might give you money to go, they were giving people 250 just to get their geds.

Consider being a security officer (the kind that just sits around and answers questions)
if you have a clean record, the right attitude, and you are smart enough to know when to speak up and shut up, you can do really well for yourself (shutting up has saved my ass so many times)
unarmed you can make 10-15 starting
armed you can make 12-20 starting (based on Nashville area)
I did unarmed for half a year then moved to a job in programming in FL, I kinda miss getting paid to play video games on my laptop all day with free wifi, drinks, and food.

You guys do realise that the only difference between a plumber and a fucking toilet scrubber is how far back the turd is crammed down into the toilet
