Career advice
-
So the past few days I've done a lot of thinking about my career path. After talking to my friends and former coworkers, I feel that I might focus on positions that are not just programming. I would still like to development, but would also like to use my speaking skills/need for attention. A position that I have researched is a Sales Engineer. Does anyone do this? Does anyone have advice for making the small jump from developer to something more social? 2 more points, I don't want to do support and I am a little leery of the sales engineer position because I don't want to travel out of town more than 10-15% of the time.

Sales engineer sounds like an oxymoron. One word is about trying to even sell ice to Escamoes and the other is to build things people can use to solve problems or improve their way of life. I will always want the later. Just me.
