<prompt> Human: I started my first real job in February in sales and lost it today because of low numbers and a less than stellar attitude when it came to other people costing me commission because they messed up I would do anything possible for the customer to save them money and I suspect not going with the flow cost me my job.I have learned a lot in the past 6 months but I honestly dont know what to do. I dont know what I want to do in life but I want to be sure it helps other people which makes finding another job more complicated.I spent my morning applying to anything FT and relevant and will file for unemployment on Monday apparently I cant do it this week as today is the 4th day and you cant do it if you worked 4 days in the final week.I dont think I can do sales again, i just didnt like it much as the pressure mounted because I was being too nice to people I refused to tell them what they wanted to hear and instead told them the truth.Fortunately, Im young early 20s so I know this isnt the end of the world. I only have a car payment every month that is paid through October of this year at least and Im sure my parents will give me a break on the rent for now but I still want to get back into the workforce ASAP. I also kind of want to be my own boss and start something myself but I dont know what business to start.Finally, I fear that getting let go for poor performance is not something that an future employer will see as a positive. I had been trying to beat this by getting a new job first, but it happened too quickly.Sorry for the wall of text.edit:Thanks all for the encouraging words. Every bit helps a stranger in NY feel better about himself :Any advice at all is great, especially what others in my shoes did and what field they went into if you dont mind.Reddit and PF is awesome.  <response>: Thats a bummer, but sales is not for everyone. Youll bounce back. Be honest with prospective employers that you were let go for performance, but you can put a spin on it by saying something like, you werent comfortable with the need to take advantage of the customer in order to make your numbers.However, it will be important for you to exhibit a team player attitude wherever you find yourself in the future.
