So does your resume just scream job hopper? Lol jk...sounds like you'd be able to use that diversity for a corporate position!

So is Corporate Learning basically educating adults in their careers?

Yes, in short. In their careers? No. To give an example, I am in the final stages of selling a software package to a global company with 60k employees. I have been working with their learning development team to create the curriculum, training aides, and methods to roll our best practices, process, and training to the employees for their respective roles, and the managers on how to administer a new solution. It's not "in their careers", it will be in various ways to provide training to employees within the company you work for. It could be new software, safety, computer training, etc. It runs the gamut and depends on what type of company it is.

Like corporate training?

Corporate training all varies by what company it is, so this is sort of answered above.

Are these considered executive positions?

No. Depends on the size of the company and what that company offers. There are thousands of companies out there with Learning, Training, Development, etc - named departments.

Salaries vary wide and far for each, however I would think the entry level is on par with what the public sector education is, and goes significantly higher...

Cool. Thanks for the info! Definitely will look into this. I create curriculum & stuff all the time using technology & paper based methods. Sounds interesting!

[Kimmypie]

Of course, I can always go the Masters to PhD route & go onto true academia in a college setting.

Then there is a job in any larger company. (larger meaning 10k employees and above typically have their own Corporate Learning groups).

Best of luck, and glad I could help.

I was just about to say be a prof! That would be a bad ass job if low to mid 100's is a comfortable career max for you. Plus you can always publish and consult!

[Kimmypie]

Thanks, all! I'm doing some research right now & appreciate y'all's input!

Also - btw, any software company has a training department. They typically travel to the client site, but they train the new clients on how to use their software. My company just hired a "learning specialist" to help augment our training staff... I'll see if I can find the job description and PM it to you for a review.

Graduated undergrad summa cum laude with a degree in Economics.
Graduated with honors from the UT Full-Time MBA program with a concentration in Finance and Asset Management in May of 2010.
I'm also a member of CFA Institute and have passed the level 1 and level 2 CFA exams - just need to find a few hundred hours and pass level 3 to be a CFA Charterholder as well.

An MBA from a top 20 school and the CFA designation are pretty much required in my line of work. I was in a different field of Finance that had limited upside and bored me prior to MBA and CFA studies.

I am an equity analyst for an investment bank in SF - we conduct equity research on public companies in the technology sector and issue buy, hold, underperform ratings and price targets for their shares. I'm writing this post from a hotel in Dallas - I'm interviewing to manage money for high- net worth clients of a regional commercial bank here in Texas.

Not to derail, but I thought you already landed a job here? Or are you interviewing with new clients?

Get your Master's in Human Sexuality. That way, you can help others Cum Laude.

Great. I look forward to it

I've had one round of interviews with this company. This is final round. I posted somewhere earlier that I'm moving back regardless of how my job search goes. I'll just move back and find a job once I'm here ... we're sick of SF.

I'm not so great with numbers, or I would. Sigh
