My favorite was for a job installing cable for some subcontractor for Comcast and there was a bunch of talk about how much money I could make I just had to "hustle" and "get my numbers up" and I could "make my own way as my own contractor". Red flags all around but I was like 20 and just getting out on my own and before I got serious about doing real electrical work as a career.

Anyway after orientation that included the guy telling us "don't have sex with any clients this isn't like those pornos where she bangs the cable guy", I go out in a van with a dude. He was basically like "listen man this job pays jack shit. If they don't have enough work for you you're gonna be sitting in the van making minimum wage. I would honestly plan for your pay to be around that for your first year"

I basically quit on the spot. Got to go up on a telephone pole though, that was cool I guess.
