Got a job.
If you have no experience then it can be hard to get a job.

I had no actual shop experience, all pervious experience was back yard hobby stuff...I then got hired on by a private store as Only installer/sales person (i cant stand sales, and installers have to be salesmen at times) and then got asked to work for future shop (Best Buy Canada)...quit after a year and thats about it...
