My initial plan was to find a job to at least earn a stable income for the first few years while developing and improving my passion so one day I could maybe open my own business. Also to have at least a bit of experience in the working world and to have abit of career advancement.

The thing is my degree in science doesn't really offer me much as most jobs are either lab based or sales. I did lab work back during my internship but it was really boring so I decided to give sales a go EVENTHOUGH I HAVE ZERO SALES SKILLS. I applied for the sales position and went for quite a number of interviews.

The recent interview with an MNC got me thinking whether I'm suitable as a sales rep. Failed to sell myself eventhough the interviewer gave me a second chance .He asked where do you see yourself here in a few years and said I don't seem to have that impression like I really want the job badly, didn't really know how to answer him.

To be honest, I never really did enjoy studying what I did but I just went through with it anyway because I could handle it. Now in the working world, it's only relevant to apply for something I studied.

Wondering should I take the road less taken and focus what I like to do, making it to a business. Risky because if it doesn't work out, I'll be stuck whereas my friends would already develop their career further.

Start with a base which is to get a fix income first

hi mod, can you move this to job&career? thank u

you know what's most important in running a business? ....selling

are you sure ? i sometimes find science to be one of the most transferable degree out there as compared to say, medicine, accounting or dentistry.

i'm a science degree graduate myself but currently doing UX/UI because of my passion for design. but if you can, just start to find a job with a stable income first while you sort out your business plan. if you hate working for people like myself, you can start freelancing. save up some money and start your own business venture (would be great if you can do it with a like-minded mate). start slow and steady and work your way up. don't do things hastily.

I'm glad I'm not alone.

I graduated with accounting degree with no interest and intention to be an accountant.

I see, yea I don't really like working for others. Yes a job with a stable income is definitely welcome but unsure whether to venture out to areas which isn't related to what I studied.

Like the say, rome wasn't build in one day, so yea gotta start small and slow first

so what are you working as now?

I like it when people come to me rather than I approaching people in terms of selling.

Lol so what u doing now? Bank sales?

looking for job now

still looking around
attended few interviews and waiting for their reply
hope success

Fresh grad? Few of my frens who did accounting went for bank sales or insurance . Sales generally lol

that will never happen during early start ups so its always hard to build yr foundation but dint give up
