B.S. - Ag Business

I've done staffing sales/recruiting (which helps immensely when you're looking for new opps after the fact) and HVAC sales.

I'm a Certified Home Energy Auditor, and am currently starting my own company. Am I using my specific degree? I would say yes, because the basic business principles can be applied to pretty much any business across any industry.

Thanks for all the input. I am thinking that I will be trying to find something else to do next year. My wife and I are wanting to move and I figure it would be a good time for a new career.
