Mentors 4 Teens: College, Scholarship, and Career Guidance Podcast

Stephanie Rosa has been in medical device sales since graduating college from the University of Illinois. She quickly rose to be the #2 device representative in her company. Stephanie has worked in various sales roles within the medical world. After a year sabbatical to travel the world alone, Stephanie returned back into medical sales and began to pursue her passion within the festival and music industry. Stephanie now works full time in a corporate sales role, while also running a 40 person media team dedicated to music festivals.

Wholesale and manufacturing sales representatives sell goods for wholesalers or manufacturers to businesses, government agencies, and other organizations. They contact customers, explain the features of the products they are selling, negotiate prices, and answer any questions that their customers may have about the products.

Wholesale and manufacturing sales representatives work under pressure because their income and job security depend on the amount of merchandise they sell. Some sales representatives travel frequently.

Educational requirements vary for sales representatives and depend on the type of products sold. If the products are not scientific or technical, a high school diploma is generally sufficient for entry into the occupation. If the products are scientific or technical, sales representatives typically need at least a bachelor's degree.

New employees may be trained by going along with experienced workers on their sales calls. As they gain familiarity with the firm's products and clients, the new workers gain more responsibility until they eventually get their own territory. Strong social skills, understanding how to persuade, network, and get people to like you play a crucial role.

The median annual wage for sales representatives, wholesale and manufacturing, except technical and scientific products was $57,140 in May 2016.

The median annual wage for sales representatives, wholesale and manufacturing, technical and scientific products was $78,980 in May 2016.

Overall employment of wholesale and manufacturing sales representatives is projected to grow 5 percent from 2016 to 2026, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Employment opportunities should be best in independent agencies, which operate on a fee basis and represent several manufacturers, instead of buying and holding the product they are selling.

Job opportunities should be best for those with previous sales experience. Although the large size of the occupations creates many job openings, the relatively high pay will also likely attract a large number of applicants.

US news rates a sales representative as # 4 in best marketing jobs which ranks them based on 5 categories ( salary, job market, future growth, stress, and work-life balance); with marketing manager, sales manager, insurance sales agent coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively.

If you love to talk to people, are personable, like to travel, are up for a little bit of a cut throat industry where the potential to make good money right out of College this could be right up your alley.

I know the medium numbers is $78K for technical, BUT, I have quite a few friends that make well over 7-figures selling products only a couple years out of college. In fact, a good friend of mine in the bay area sells carpet and makes 160K per year... and he isn't even on the top! It requires charisma, high energy, and you need to be good and persuading people to take action.

The key to sales success, however, isn't talking... it's LISTENING!

If something sets off a curiosity of yours, dive deeper into it!

You never know what big opportunities may form as a result of exploring an interest you have!

Nothing is permanent, so go with what feels right! If you want to switch up your path to better suit your interests, don't be afraid to take a leap of faith!

What matters MOST is that you're constantly LEARNING!

Danica is a current Harvard Law student focusing her studies and extracurricular research on the realm of business and human rights. An Arizona State University alumna, Danica earned degrees in Chinese and Economics and moved to China upon graduation. After a semester of study at Nanjing University, she spent a few years working for a social enterprise dedicated to improving the livelihood of factory workers across China. She later moved to DC to work on trade facilitation and trade enforcement issues under the Department of Homeland Security. Part of her work at DHS included a portfolio on the government's authority to take action against shipments of forced labor-produced goods. Both her experiences in China and in DC thus shaped her interests in business and human rights, corporate accountability, and the regulatory framework surrounding these issues. She intends to pursue a career after law school building bridge between corporations and human rights advocates, helping companies identify and rectify problems in their supply chains.

Market research analysts study market conditions to examine potential sales of a product or service. They help companies understand what products people want, who will buy them, and at what price.

Market research analysts can work individually or as part of a team, collecting, analyzing, and presenting data. Most market research analysts work full time during regular business hours. Some, however, work under pressure of deadlines and tight schedules, which may require additional hours of work.

Most market research analysts need at least a bachelor's degree. Some research positions may require a master's degree. Strong math and analytical skills are essential.

Strong organizational & communication skills.

The median annual wage for market research analysts was $62,560 in May 2016.

Employment of market research analysts is projected to grow 23 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations.

US news rates a market research as #6 in best business jobs which ranks them based on 5 categories (salary, job market, future growth, stress, and work-life balance), with Statistician, actuary, and mathematician coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively.

If you are into the psychology of humans and how we act in very predictable ways and how analyzing data we gather on humans can allow us to make decisions to alter and help solve world problems you might love being a marketing analyst. Keep in mind though, you need to love being in front of a computer and geeking out at numbers, presenting them to the organization, and then watching the small change you make in the world based on the way you interpreted that data! I don't know about you… but it kinda sounds cool!

Personal financial advisors provide advice on investments, insurance, mortgages, college savings, estate planning, taxes, and retirement to help individuals manage their finances.

Most personal financial advisors work in the finance and insurance industry or are self-employed. They typically work full time and may meet with clients in the evening or on the weekends

Personal financial advisors typically have a bachelor's degree although NOT REQUIRED they ARE required to pass certain exams administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, which is responsible for governing business between the investing public and brokers to ensure advisors are qualified, according to investopedia.com.

A master's degree and a certificate can improve one's chances for advancement in the occupation although once again NOT REQUIRED.

According to job unlocker team if you are not good at sales or cannot learn in a matter of months you are going to have a bad time. Learning soft entrepreneurial skills like speaking, networking, persuasion, and more technical marketing skills are crucial. Unfortunately, due to standardization in the schooling system these skills are not taught.

Employment of personal financial advisors is projected to grow 15 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. As the population ages and life expectancies rise, demand for financial planning services should increase.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the BRAND NEW...

Mentors 4 Teens: College, Scholarship, and Career Guidance Podcast!

In this special shortened episode, Student-Tutor CEO and co-founder, Todd VanDuzer, describes the MASSIVE transition taking place at Student-Tutor HQ, and how it's going to be HUGE for parents and teens across the world!

You don't want to miss this one!

Make sure you check the links below to register for our FREE college and career planning webinar on March 15th!

For those not already subscribed to our email list, here's the latest official statement from Todd:

"As you may already know, over the last 12 or so months, the Student-Tutor Mastermind community has witnessed MASSIVE strides in our shared mission to prepare this generation's teenagers for life-long success and fulfillment.

The fact of the matter is, I have fallen madly in love with the teenage mastermind program… and every unique member of its community.

The opportunity to teach, lead, and inspire, has provided me with something I wasn't even expecting at the start… the opportunity to LEARN and BE inspired by each of your incredible students!

However, Student-Tutor, the academic tutoring & test prep company I started at 16 years old, although running itself to a degree, requires a dedicated piece of our team's continued focus to maintain value to the community.

As a result, we had been toying with the idea of bringing all our focus to our mastermind clients to deliver a one of a kind elite level service with the world's brightest and most ambitious teenagers to help BREAK THE MOLD of the future change makers of tomorrow.

After a series of communication with Varsity Tutors, the overall LARGEST fish in the tutoring pond, we've developed a favorable agreement to offer tutoring and test prep through THEM, so those just looking for a tutor to solve their immediate problems would be taken care of.

Clients who were looking for a committed relationship with us from 8th -12th grade to ensure career, scholarship, and elite college acceptance, where we would take care of everything, providing only the best tutors, mentors, advice, etc. should work with us."

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Student-Tutor Podcast!

What does it take to start a life-long career in a groundbreaking industry like robotics? Does one need to have a highly developed set of skills just to get started? Or, does it all come down to an individuals true grit and determination to succeed?

This week, we're joined by Rosanna Myers, a true leader and innovator in the robotics industry! At only 30 years of age, Rosanna is the co-founder and CEO of Carbon Robotics which recently raised a few million dollars (exactly number cannot be disclosed yet), which makes advanced robotics dramatically more accessible with low-cost robotic arms and highly intelligent control software. Hailing from the English countryside, Rosanna got her start in engineering while rebuilding old race cars with her father and learning about industrial production. Since graduating Duke as Baldwin Scholar, she's focused primarily in software development, with her work taking her everywhere from the jungles of Costa Rica to the electronics markets of Shenzhen, China. Carbon Robotics has received numerous accolades for their groundbreaking work in robotics, including being named one of the Top 50 robotics companies in the world by the Robotics Business Review!

3 Key Points:

1. Stop comparing yourself to others!

Find satisfaction in what you HAVE, not what you DON'T have. This only leads to discontentment and suffering!

2. Learn how to LEARN!

Focus on becoming self-aware and self-reliant. Don't defer opportunities in exchange for convenience or fear of risk!

3. The way you view failure affects your entire outlook on life!

Are you moving towards a goal, or running away from something you don't understand... or are afraid of? There's a difference between "having" a failure and BEING a failure.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Student-Tutor Podcast!

Is YouTube really a medium that can take someone from making videos in their home to traveling across the world?

What does it take to turn a curiosity or passion into a full time fulfilling lifestyle?
