I still have a soft spot for Engineering but I reckon I'll be putting it all behind me real soon.

Sort:

I'm thinking of getting professional qualifications in marketing, sales and management. I already have multiple years of marketing experience, I might as well just formalize it

The world needs more engineers. That has a future. Marketing might end up with the machines.

Well, that's true but the machines are a threat but there will always be clients that want something with a soul and that's where I'll step in.

Just get your foot in the door and start working as a bottom of the rung salesman.

Phone sales, door to door, some sort of entry level position like that.

You make a fine point but what I would say is that the script is different when you're an immigrant trying to get in because you can't even find the "door" to begin with.

If you're a good salesman, you'd be able to use your engineering degree as leverage to get that foot in the door 😉.

Engineering is impressive!

I'll just put my back into it and hope for the

I intend to. I'll just need to study the land, see what people are talking about and find a way to connect to them. I've been told that I can be very persuasive, night as well earn a living from it

If you do well, you'll move up and have the experience required to get a better role.

But you can waste so much time getting sales qualifications that ultimately mean nothing.
