I ended up getting out of school for a while and getting into the job field. The real killer with that is the financial aid goes down the crapper once you start making some money and it makes school difficult. Basically you have to keep a job and go to school, which is a pain.

I understand that. I've been working as a tele-marketer during school and it's really not that bad. I talk to alumni everyday about what they are currently doing. Most of them are engineers that I speak with, so I hear a lot of good things obviously. Where could I go with sales? You said I can get in a larger company and still have that hands on experience? That's what I want right there, but idk what job that would be or how to get there. Like I said I have a pretty good nitch for selling things. But I don't want to be one of those people that don't know what the heck they are selling. For example, when I was car shopping with my dad I would ask the salesmen questions that they had no idea what to say. I want to really be involved and make a difference. I have thought about becoming a sales rep, but again I don't know too much about that profession either.
