That's pretty good. Unfortunately, the word 'salesman' is source of shivers for most of engineers. I had to develop some of those skills, and I've got say that was difficult but since you are required to improve your soft skills, that might become leverage even on your technical day-to-day tasks: it makes you more empathetic to other people.

Is not just a matter of having maths skills. There's some other traits involved. These traits sometimes are developed and sometimes are born with you.

You born being introspective or not. This will have a great influence in what kind of professional you will be.

I'm not saying that you can't change yourself, but in my opinion a big part of you is defined by your natural talents.

I consider myself as an introspective guy. This is something that I'm not able to change, and surely it has a great importance in what kind of work I'm able to be useful.

I forgot to mention that now I have this halos at night and a little bit of light sensitivity as well.

chrisreichel··on LASIK 6 months later
I had the PRK surgery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photorefractive_keratectomy). The first two weeks were the worst of my life. The recovering was painful and I could barely see... And during that time the irritation and the feeling of having sand in my eyes...

Well, after this tough period all the irritation gone, my vision was improving everyday and now, 3 years later I think that it was the best decision ever. Specially if you like to ride motorcycles - and use helmets - it makes a lot more practical.
