The taking a shitty job is a great idea. When I moved up from Victoria I took a warehouse job for valero. Shitty work and shitty hours. During this time I had my resume public on a couple websites. About 4 months into it I got a call from the company I'm with now for an inside sales job for a wholesale distribution of Texas made hvac equipment. My background has been inside sales, mostly plumbing, waterworks, and industrial oil field valves and fittings. Long story short, I love my job, and if it wasn't for my public resume, I'd still be breaking my back at 3am everyday.
