Agent job will not run
Turns out I was connecting to a Load Balancer which redirects me to either one of 2 sql servers which are synchronized ( for better performance) the SQLServer Agent was turned on on one of the servers but it was off on the other server. I needed to create my job on the main server (which has the agent service running). I didn't know we had 2 SQL servers that were identical and that I was connecting to a different one every other time. Sorry about that, but thanks again for the helpful comments, I found some interesting things in the error logs that helped me figure this all out. Thanks again!
