That's great, sounds like it was a good company.
I'm thinking that all sales people should have to spend some time in the "tech support" department, if at all possible...

Our tech support department was the techs who built and tested our products. We had a customer with a problem at the McMurdo Sound Antarctica Science - Research station contact us via the internet with a problem. I spent a couple hours answering questions as the troubleshot a damaged receiver. They got lucky, and found a damaged SMD resistor after being lead in the right direction. Their luck also provided them with a part in their spares stock that let them get back in operation without waiting for the next supply ship to bring it back to the factory for repair,

Same the other way around. One company (Mercedes Benz?) requires their new engineers to sell product in the showroom for a year or so before they get to design stuff. In medical we are also out there in the hospitals a lot. People who are squeamish about bloody scenes should not start that kind of career.

Yep. Never bothered me a bit. However #2 daughter was going to be a pediatrician until she did a summer internship at Barrows Neurological. Seeing all those bashed-in baby brains (car wrecks, abuse, etc.) changed her to chemistry :-(

Having a bit of a cold spell ourselves right now! Tonight, when I left the DHS historical Society's Soup Supper, I actually needed a jacket! It must have been 60 degrees out there!

A jacket at 60F? Oh man. We run around in T-shorts at those temps.
Wednesday for our church soup supper we had to carry in the big crock pot of chili in howling cold wind.

Well, we did have 20-30 mph winds to go with it, and I was helping move the tables and chairs from where we had the event back to the Senior Center, so I was in and out a lot... 8-)

(who just checked, and the winds are now averaging around 32mph, with the biggest gust having been 56mph)

Perhaps it is already there. Last week we had a visit from a sales rep. which represented several semiconductor manufacturors. He was hired by those companies directly to oversee the marketing and support of their products by the distributors in this part of Europe.
