Default Should I take this job

My son called me last night saying the Nissan dealership he works at is starting to put the feelers out for a parts dept guy. He was plugging me in. I'd start off at only $8 ish an hour but move up quickly and have incentives too. Its inside ordering parts, handling customers and some inventory work. And its a 5 min commute, right now its 25 min with tools and traffic!

Im not a certified mechanic but I know my way around a car OK, cant tell you what all I look at is if under the car or such. Still I do have a good to fair knowledge and suppose the PC would help. As far as the pay, right now Im doing body work and detailing for 12 $ hr FLAT rate Which means no work and stand around doing nothing . I ve been there since may and have only brought home over 400 (week) twice. In fact this payday is my 2nd 250 do9llar paycheck.

Im not the most skilled body guy but I do love it and (for now) the shop ios training me on it. Still, I get the feeling that if it slows much more Im axed.

Just wanted to know if anyone has info on parts guys and how tough/easy their job is.

Thanks
