>> For sales reps grad school is actually pretty optional.
If you wanted to stay in a sales realm forever, but I've actually just started
in executive MBA program with Saint Joseph University in the Philadelphia area and part
of the reason that I wanted to go and do that is because in sales a lot of times you can move
within your operating company up to any rank, a lot of times you'll have
to change which position you hold though.
So if you're a sales rep they'll probably want you to spend some time with marketing
with the sales training department or even business analytics or finance,
but to be able to do that job adequately it's desired that you have an MBA
and then also an MBA just gives you the flexibility, like I said,
to move across different departments a lot more quickly rather than having to build up many,
many years success for them to be willing to move you along.
