So finally after thinking about this for long enough, I finally have a decent plan to get slowly where I wanna get. However, sometimes theres things I don't know about that I might be doing wrong, thus I put up this thread.
In a nutshell, I been doing construction since I was 17. Only 3 years, but done enough to be a privite contractor myself and know how to do most of the stuff in construction. Well, that led me to the current job I have now. I work for a HUGE roofing company based out of Ohio and its great money. All the other sales reps have college degrees, and the new guys getting hired are required to also. Somehow I got myself into this job without one. So yay for me.
I go to school 14 hours a week, and work another 60ish about 6 days a week. My life is pretty busy minus my day off... Sunday. My major is construction management but I have decieded to change majors. What I have realized is that most of the guys working in this business don't have a degree, just experiance.
So, I am changing to business. Probably international business. German was my first langauge, so the international part hopefully will play a good role.
My plan was to work for this company for another year, till next fall semester, then take a semester abroad in Germany. Then when I came back, I was going to try and get on the sales team for Global BMW or somewhere similiar. I believe with my sales experiance already I could do very well. I was going to try to get with Global because the company that owns them is apparently one of the best money making "mega-companies" or corporations in the world.
My true passion is cars, my work has brought me to construction. For now, I like it, but I know it will get old one of these days. I am really not doing this job for the money, I am doing it because of what it will say on my Resume.
Anyways.
Cliff notes:
1. Current Roofing Sales men in construction management major.
2. Switching to International Business, studying abroad the coming fall semester.
3. After study abroad, attempt to get with Global BMW sales team.
4. Hopefully get transferred to Germany and work for BMW there.
Suggestions? Comments?
Please keep the negative ones to a minimum. Thanks..
