Live in Baton Rouge. Would be willing to go to from Houston to New Orleans. I would like to eventually be like a VP of sales or something along the lines of business development. I would prefer to be more towards the marketing side of things than having to deal with individual sales. I am married with 0 kids and we do not want any kids.

In my experience, if you are a very good salesman, I don't think the MBA would necessarily be that much of an advantage. If you have a proven track record and lots of contacts in your industry then other companies will come looking for you. Changing industries might be difficult depending on what you are selling. For instance, I know tech sales can be very rewarding, but you really have to know what you are talking about. It sounds like you want to stay in the same industry and just move up and it sounds like you are good at it. If this is true, then you will have lot's of opportunity for advancement.

Maybe your customers are a sort of network.

Do any of your customers have businesses that interest you?

Do any of your suppliers or competitors interest you?

in the course of doing your job or in life in general have you found problems you would like to solve?
