Getting a job in the ski industry

[Peter.]

yeah. i want to go to college for Pre-med, but im not really into staying at school for 11 years. How much would a person make working for a company like salomon or K2, and how does one go about getting a job in this field? I know, business and medicine are completely different, but i am interested in both.

you need to work your way up from the bottom. its all about who you know. start in a shop meet the right people and become a rep. once your a rep you can slowly work your way up in the company

Rep work won't make you much (and it's not like you can just become a K2 rep that easy) - makes for an excellent stepping stone though. Basically the only way to get into any form of management would be to work your way up from the bottom and get to know the right people and making sure the right people get to know you.
