Skylar kept Quinn from becoming a waitress by telling him about a landscaping job he liked better.
I was going to take this waitress job but Skylar said there was a landscaping one that he liked more.  He thought I should apply for it. Did you get the job? Yes I got the landscaping job.  I'll start next week. That's great.  Does it pay more? Yes it does and it's more creative which I like. You are a creative person.
