Reply #2: looking for work in all the wrong places [View All]

[msedano]

a humanities degree, an advanced one more so, prepares people for effective productivity in the information economy, work related to sales and distribution: thinking, writing, speaking, listening.

with the US economy no longer a primary producer of goods, our forte has become service and moving information, "the knowledge industry". material purchased overseas for import into our markets requires folks skilled at purchasing and inventory control, shipping, warehousing, writing marketing copy like catalogs and webpages, training, and, ultimately, finding customers, either regional distributors, jobbers, or end-users. sales. sadly, being "in sales" leaves a bad taste in some mouths. get over it.

recommended.
