 | I'm currently a sales manager at a retail mattress company. I want to make a career change but I feel suck since my job experience is mostly sales. I recieved a bachelors in 03 and a masters in 05 (altheic administration) but since I didn't go work in my field of study the degree seems useless now. I'm good at sales but I really do not like the pressure, your only good as your last sale and there's no growth in my company. Can someone like myself in retail sales make a career change? If so what career's?

 | I'm adding this to Vickey's question below.
If you're a foreigner who IS fluent at Japanese and willing to learn technical terms in Japanese, then are some of the following professions open to you?
1. Doctor (after a few more years studying Japanese terminology and other stuff for the Japanese medical licence, of course)
2. Laboratory-based researcher
3. University lecturer (there are lots of foreign lecturers here in England, many of whom speak English worse than I speak Japanese)
4. Architect
5. Sales manager
6. Interior designer
7. Public accountant
etc. etc.
In other words, all those jobs that:
- Are classified as "professional",
- Require at least a Master's degree (e.g. MBA) or professonal degree (e.g. for Medicine or Architecture)
- Pay well and require lots of thinking.
These sorts of professions.
Are they open to foreigners skilled in Japanese, like they are open in the UK to highly-educated foreigners who speak English?
Or, how about engineer or technician in one of the giants like Hitachi, Panasonic, and Mitsubishi Denki?
Haha... I could get first grade ++ on the Kanji proficiency test if I try hard. Hey, I'm Chinese, I use more kanji than you *wink wink* (But yeah, we use some different ones, so that's why I'll have to study ^_~)

| The marketing manager isn't doing the selling alone- with him is a sales rep and a sales manager and the 3 of us share of goal that this industrial machinery company (the people who would show include the buyer, jr engineer and production manager) will buy our software. So what does marketing manager do specifically in this kind of situation?
Thanks a million!

| I'm going for grad school because I want to get the opportunity to be a manager. Since I didn't come from one of the business fields, (sales, marketing, finance/accounting), and came from engineering instead, there's no promotion path for me.
But it seems pretty hard to get into grad school (besides joke grad schools like U Phoenix) in the first place. It almost feels like the college admissions council gets to decide whether I can become a manager more than the people at any job I'm at.

| I've worked in collections over 8 years and have managed a call center for over 9 years. The thing is I've worked in collections over 15 years ago. I still remember it all but how do I prepare myself. I am in school re-educating myself to get out of the sales field and this job is perfect for me but, I don't want to mess up the interview. Can some one tell me exactly what this job entails?

| I am thinking about going for a four year degree in marketing, but I have no kind of idea of what job i'll get with it. Please include what I'll be doing too. I really want to deal with people. I would like to help people, but this probably doesn't do that. But dealing with a lot of people is a must for me. I really need to know what I would be doing at a job, and what kind of jobs I will be doing.
