You may have entire weeks where you don't make any. You're also going to have the door slammed in your face, and you're going to have to drive all over the place, thus draining loads of gas and putting tons of wear on your car. These guys also work 60 hours a week EVERY week. And they don't get home until like 10PM. Imagine working a 12 hour day and earning NOTHING while burning a whole tank of gas away.
I've encountered this kind of junk before and I've turned it down. Unfortunately, I thought this was a different scenario, but it's not, it's the same old bait and switch thing. So when they told me I was eligible for a round three interview, I turned it down. I'm not shooting to become a salesman. A high school dropout could do that junk.
I'll find something better, just need to keep searching.
And yeah, I'm glad your exams are finally done. I recall that wonderful, elating feeling and yes, it's awesome. Enjoy some time off and get refreshed. You deserve it. :)
