Dilemma regarding career path in Engineering?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010 at 8:14 am

I am a fresh graduate with no real experience I have been offered two job positions that are completely different and I am kind of confused. The first is as a Sales Electrical engineer, the company has existed for 86 years,they deal in cars,construction,electrical trading and construction,medical installation & trading,industrial construction & trading,etc…You get it the company is huge,they want me to be a Sales Electrical engineer on their product SIEMENS and they are willing to also send me to Germany for training.The other company in ranked 8th in the world in Electrical Design & Consulting. So here is my dilemma the two companies are really big and huge,but the problem is the big gap in salary the one of Sales Electrical Engineer is lower by like 30%,but everybody keeps on telling me that all the money is in Sales Electrical Engineering and the company told me that eventually i will be making more money as a Sales Electrical Engineer rather than an Electrical design engineer,so from the people in the field can you please tell me on the long run where the money is,i mean i find myself equally liking both job descriptions so I want to make my decision based on which path generates more money in the long run…
Thank you
The thing is I am happily willing to do both job descriptions,they both look interesting,both companies are huge,I am leaning towards the Sales Engineer job but is it justified to work for the lower salary,I mean am i crazy to do that,and is it true the there is more money in Sales engineering rather than Design Engineering.
