I am currently approaching the end of my Advanced Diploma in Programming and have been looking at possible employment opportunities for once i graduate. I have started to notice a few scary things.
To even have a chance at getting a job i will need to either do the Microsoft exams or go to Uni, and even then i would be looking making less a year than i would if i took my current computer system sales job full time.
The kicker is, i don't really like programming. But i do really like my current sales job, I like dealing with people, I'm good at it. In my course i am a mediocre student, scraping through with low B's. At work i am often up with the best.
I know there are lots of opportunities to move up from an entry level coding job, but what about the retail world? Is it realistic to use my current sales job as a leg up to becoming a sales rep for a larger wholesaler? How far up the ladder could i climb?
