Hello, When I finished University, I was really hesitating about what my future career should be like. I studied electronics and communications engineering and that's why I started to get involved with the Cisco world by studying the Cisco curricula. I have always loved airplanes and aviation, so, my ideal job was something that would allow me to combine airplanes and networking. It was a bit difficult because I wanted to fly so, there was not so much networking inside the plane. I started then looking for a job as a flight attendant and as an engineer, two completely different worlds. When I went to the flight attendant interviews, they always asked why I wanted to be a flight attendant since I studied engineering. Then, when I went to the engineering job interviews, I had no experience at all so it was a bit difficult to get in. Finally, one day, it was december the 19th. I received 2 calls: I was accepted to work in Volaris, a local airline, and also to work in Cisco TAC. It was one of the most difficult decisions in my life. For some reason, the engineer inside me, was stronger that the guy wanting to spend time flying and I accepted the TAC offer. It was my first job ever, I had the greatest co-workers and friends and I can say I learned a lot, like never before. There was always a new challenge and something new to learn. A few years later, in a different job, I was able to work and participate in a project to design the WiFi network of some airlines in the Mexico Airport, so, my dream came true!! networking and airplanes together. I really enjoyed that project. I wouldn't change anything and now, I'm a happy presales engineer! 🙂 Regards.
