AI've been in sales and marketing for over 10 years and you’re best off by majoring in business management or marketing, with a minor in HR, or finance. Double majors incorporating any of these fields never hurt. Many colleges allow you to spend an extra year of study after you graduate and earn a masters degree which does make a big difference in what you can command salary-wise and can make the difference when you’re competing with others for a promotion. The reputation of the college or university that you attend makes a big difference as well. Over the years I have learned that if you are in sales you can pretty much carve your own path. Without sales there would be no business. Companies recognize this and depending on which industry they hold their salespeople in very high regard. Some industries are notoriously shady--like office equipment companies (copy machine companies in particular); but whatever industry you go into, if you can sell, motivate, and manage people you will be more than just a 'sales person'.Also, don’t rely on your company-run training program to train you. You should ALWAYS do things to further your business and sales skills on your own. Reading books, attending seminars, watching videos, etc. will keep you sharp, motivated, and put you ahead of your peers.Theoretically your ultimate goal should be to gain enough experience and capital so that you can go into business for yourself. You will quickly realize that the CEO of most successful organizations large and small currently are or essentially started out as sales people. Hope this helps...

AHarte Hanks and Hoovers are two great sites, but you need to pay for them.

AYou are already in the right arena. A degree like yours is common amongst business and technical analysts, technical writers, information technology directors, information technology recruiters and information technology human resources management. Because you have experience as an assistant project manager, I might suggest you take a look at becoming a certified project manager. It might open more doors for you.You might also enjoy a role such as director of information technology or information systems manager.

AThe dealer does not have to do the contact over, but it is really up to them. Many extended warranties do not cover tire replacement so I wondering if there is true overlap. The dealer give you the $600 back and keep the contract intact, but at this point you are really at the mercy of the dealer.
