Teach the children well

Image is a problem... as is lack of information as to a good career path. I did badly in my first year of A-Levels, so then enrolled onto a four year modern apprenticeship with a very large vacuum pump company. I took redundancy as there was no prospects ("we know we have trained you, but you don't have a degree...") and it was all off to Korea. I have since completed on Open University degree in Engineering - and I now work as a Sales Engineer. Not through choice particularly, but because my job title has has never been 'Manufacturing/Project/Design' Engineer. As soon as people see 'Sales' in my CV they assume I have no real engineering experience at all. I am also a married woman of 30 - with no children - so I really do have no hope at all.....
