Question

thinking of pharmaceutical drug rep but not always trusting the situation any other ideas?

Answer 1

You have to be good looking to be a drug rep, or have connections. A business degree is enough for a lot of different businesses at the entry level. Get a job, stay for 2-3 years, then if your are not promoted quit. Always have another job before you quit. Noone likes to hire a loser and that is how they look at you, if you are unemployed. Entry level jobs exist in retail, banking, real estate, stock brokerage firms, government, etc, etc. The list is long. You should think about what you like, do you want to be traveling and driving around 50% of the day, do you want to be making cold calls over the phone or in person, do you want to meet with the public all day long, do you want to help people, do you want to make a lot of money, do you want to party a lot on the job, do you want short work days ? Every job is a little different. First think of what is important to you then you will know what kind of work you want to do. Once you get your first job stick it out for 2-3 years, even if you don't like it that much. After 2-3 years it is time to move on through promotion or attrition, you will have a chance to move on a lot until you turn about 45. So don't worry too much about the first job, you may or may not like it and you are expected to move on in about 2-3 years.

Answer 2

If you think you could be good at selling and are decent with numbers then consider getting into the financial services industry. There is plenty of money to be made and you have the minimum requirement for an entry level position. Once in, consider further training or going back after a few years for an MBA. PS write the GMAT once soon after graduation. The scores are good for 5 years.

Answer 3

If it is a Business Admin degree...all I can say is "Good Luck"! Did you get a minor in something? That may help. These days it is really hard to get your foot in the door with a Business degree unless you went to a very reputable school and graduated near the top of your class. Do you have work experience?
