I have Sunk to a new low
Out of desperation I replied to an employment advertisement on the local craigslist looking to hire REPO agents
Still Kickin...

Re: I have Sunk to a new low
Could be worse...you could try to be a politician! 
Actually, if the vehicles you repo had owners who were ambitious enough to get a job as a repo man, they would have been able to keep their vehicles. I don't imagine being a repo man is all that bad. Most of the time the person is willing to give up the vehicle simply because the debt is overwhelming.
Good luck in your venture.

You're responsible enough to take a job even though you might not like it. That's the important part. Any money is better than no money. Good luck, be careful.

Re: I have Sunk to a new low
One of the nicest guys I know is a repo-man. Seems counterintuitive, but he seldom has to get nasty when repo'ing a vehicle. He just sweet talks the keys out of them.
'89 Astro, 4.3L, TBI. Minor intake and exhaust mods. Rebuilt 700R4 trans (by me). Corvette servo, 0.5" boost valve, police grade 1-2 accumulator spring (shifts fast and solid). B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.

Re: I have Sunk to a new low
There is nothing wrong with being a Repo man. I chat with them all the time when they are dropping cars off at my work to be shipped on the boats. Most of the time they say it is not too bad but sometimes it gets interesting when they have to hunt down a car that someone is trying to hide.
It is a simple rule in life PAY FOR YOUR STUFF or someone will come and take it back.

Nothing wrong with that at all. Good luck and like Skip said,,some money is better than noon.
I lost my job this last Monday,,been waiting on it for over a year. What bothers me about it is I don't care. Susan asked if I had a plan B,,told her nope, don't,,any other questions you might want to ask ?
Long story, over 3 mil missing and FBI involed so glad I'm out of there.

Maybe you'll get your own TV show. "Bubbathegimp Repoman. Pay your bill or lose your ride!" You can come on after Jon-Kate+8.
