<p>First of all, I just realized I made a stupid minor error: I meant to say bioMEDical not biochemical, not that it changes your answers much. </p>
<p>Kamel: I’m not interested in sales engineering just for the social interaction. I can’t really describe what exactly makes the job so attractive to me, but I guess I really like the thought of being able to combine my math and science skills with my more competitive and charismatic business characteristics. Knowing a complex product really well and then convincing people to buy and use it just sounds really great to me, haha. Plus, even on business, I’m not one to complain about being paid to travel. </p>
<p>Jan: Yeah, I was thinking I would definitely be getting some sort of business-related education in addition to the engineering. So would you say getting an MBA would be my best option? Would I need any work experience or could I go ahead and get it right after undergrad? </p>
<p>Also, a cousin of mine is a successful sales engineer, now global marketing director for a healthcare company in California, and I know she got her master’s in [Healthcare</a> Technologies Management](<a href=“http://www.marquette.edu/engineering/hctm/why.shtml]Healthcare”>http://www.marquette.edu/engineering/hctm/why.shtml) from Marquette. If I decided to go into biomed., do you think taking that program would be a valid option as well or would you still go MBA or something else?</p>
