A family member of mine talked non-stop about getting promoted his entire first year. When he finally got promoted to assistant manager, it turned out that he was getting paid less and had to work even more hours. He is already talking about his NEXT promotion.

He is obsessed with the highly paid management at his company while not even questioning if what they say is true. He talks about this one VP that is earning 9 million a year and has only been there for 7 years. People who really do have a lot of money certainly don't brag about it to a 23 year old underling. What always gets me the most is the 'virtual mba'. If companies like Goldman, GE, and Unilever don't consider their own rotational programs as an mba, I certainly don't think a rental car company is a relevant mba program.

If you want to go into pharma sales, I think a marketing analyst program would be a good start to your career. National banks like wells, citi, wachovia, and boa probably all have decent ones (although they are competative to get in). Insurance and consumer product companies should also have such programs.
