Very well said Shane!
Nomad ... Keep your head up! and if you want to go into sales and marketing... why not try some of the dealerships... You will learn first hand a bunch of sales methods that you just can't learn in school.
I've sold everything from Encyclopedias to Radio Air time... It took me quite a while and bouncing around a lot to come to where I am... (Wherever that is...
) Good luck!
