Expanding the problem… I can completely understand why doing sales would be extraneous to an engineering degree.

I realize I am blogging about a female problem– specifically, a female engineering problem… But it’s a SIGNIFICANT problem.

I took 3 #cs183 classes offered by @StanfordEng classes. There was a gap in doing distribution, so I forked out the sales, promotion, distribution and sales skills = #cs183s‘. I realize #Engr145 @StanfordEng dedicates nearly half its lectures to distribution…, But distribution is such a monumental flustercluck of a task that there needs to be a course that dedicates 80% of lectures towards DISTRIBUTION
THATS #cs183s‘ (all 20 are free online)
