What Job Could You Do With No Prior Experience?

This week’s favorite voicemail of mine was wondering what job everyone thought they could do without any prior experience. Our friend here said that he thinks he could replace horse hooves because of all of the videos he has watched of it on YouTube. KFC is pretty confident that he could be a dermatologist because of all the pimple popping videos he’s seen. Nobody else brought anything to the table but I think they’re just being humble. This is a very multi-faceted, talented podcast.

Personally? I think you put me in charge as the GM of any team out of the four major sports or the sporting director for a European soccer team and I think I take that team right to the very top.

It’s a pretty simple formula when you really think about it. You hire a coach, sign all of the players he wants, give him a bit of time with them, and if he fails you fire that coach and do the whole process over again until you strike gold. 

If this goes on long enough without winning your seat will probably start to get uncomfortably hot. But then all you have to do is put all the blame on the owner’s broke ass for not throwing around enough money to get the players that are needed. I can count the fan bases that actually like their owner on one hand so the fans are gonna get behind you immediately.

If you’re not buying that this will actually work, let me give you a quick rundown of my CV as a GM/sporting director. I’ve been the winner of the:

Stanley Cup

Larry O’Brien Trophy

Super Bowl

Premier League

Champions League

World Cup

All were won on video games playing on rookie difficulty, but the point stands.
