I develop surveys and conduct research for organizations.
I work mostly from home. A great day at work is one in which I have numbers to crunch. That means I have a client and surveys are completed. I really like the gathering of data into a format that can be measured. During the day, I might get calls from 2-3 clients and 1 potential client. The clients want to know status of their project or to talk about a future project. A potential client is interested in speaking with me about new projects. On a great day, I do not get calls from salespeople!

Educational courses including mathematics and psychology. Obtain either an internship, part-time job, or volunteer in an organization for experience in seeing how management executes their jobs. The easiest place to volunteer is a non-profit organization.
