So I'm 27 and am coming up on 3 years at my current job, which is my 2nd career job. I've been working for almost 5 years total for two recognizable companies. Right now I have a slew of responsibilities including, CAD design, Manufacturing support, but all too much of the time I feel I spend what I like to call "garbage work" in my cubicle. I've been considering where I would like to go with my career and am kind of split between trying to do more design work, or possibly get into technical sales. Seems like it could be something I'd be into, I like to be up and active, travel, and people have told me I've got the personality for it. Can anyone offer any insight into how sales has affected their career? Or perhaps have a better reason for honing in my design skills?

"I have never seen anyone move from sales back to design. Looks like a one-way door."
I wonder why... I personally have a fairly outgoing personality and find it difficult to relate to engineers in general due to their 'dome-thinking'.
p.s. i'm on engineering myself.
It depends on you're personal preverence imho.
