What about Project Management

Re: Oh mighty org: Career advice
 

Knowing you and what you have listed, maybe Facilities (building) management?

You can get involved with anything from building control systems, organising water, power, etc, office moves, to getting the lightbulbs changed.

I was going to say project management but if you carnt handle conflict then your going to struggle. Unless your bloody good at everything else.

If Viney doesn't like conflict, that's the worst place to go :eye:

Thats my sideline Keith.

Not a fan of Project management, but Facilities management could be worth looking into.

Sales? Can get good commission although probably not the best of fields to be in right now.
