Maybe I’m a salesman February 3, 2008
Posted by Niels in : Work , trackbackEvery so often, I take stock of my various skills and brainstorm what could possibly be turned into a career. Somehow I’ve always managed to forget about my sales experience. Leading workshops for Pickup 101, I was responsible for not only being a great instructor, but upselling the students and also performing a platform (mass room) sales pitch to a room of potential customers. With a product that I believe in, I really enjoy selling. I’m intrigued by the idea of discovering a foreign product I could import and sell, or simply finding a local company that needs a salesman. So I’m adding sales to my list of options to pursue, leaving me with, in order: public speaking, sales, Facebook app, internet marketing. If I keep myself disciplined enough to maintain forward progress on something at all times, I have no doubt that something will happen in the next few months.

Have you considered psychology as a field? (Or even psychiatry–unlike a lot of folks interested in psychology, you’d be able to handle the medical background; don’t know if you’d be interested in that). Much of what you’ve learned qualifies as psychology, IMHO. Good luck!!
I’ve thought about it, and I love social psychology, but the idea of going back to school again makes my stomach turn over…
