some people got cert but also cannot find a decent job. ever wonder y? -
your attitude may ultimately decide where you end up ... but your qualitifications gives you the license to get there .......Originally posted by tiggersgd:that's initially bah. but once u get into the company, in fact the 1st day onwards, u're not only appraised based on ur educational standard but on ur attitude towards ur work/career/people etc.

okok...what i'm trying to say is that there're exceptions with regards to paper qualifications.
not all employers look upon paper qualifications as equally important. things like ur work experiences count too. they are as equally heavy-weight as ur paper qualifications, if not more.
if u have a gd degree but not a desirable attitude, u will sooner or later be fired bcos u can't flow with the company's direction/mainbody.
n yeah, go ahead n get a degree of any sorts...doesn't really matter if from engineering to business or vice versa. bcos by the time u r out of ur degree, ur priorities may have changed again or u may find what u have dreamt is not what u actually wanted. it happens...all the time.
can pacify u guys bo?

exactly. engineers who moved on to sales/business in their related engineering field knows very well about the product they are selling. It's a asset when it comes to dealing with customers.Originally posted by Fatum:if you study engineering, you can always switch to business .... but it's very difficult to switch from business to engineering ..... so there ....
Sales people who purely do sales only on the other hand knows nuts about the product they are selling. sometimes customers ask them questions they don't even know how to answer. -
