Engineer or Medrep?

Feb 6, 2008

Who in Mars would have thought that Mr. Reginald Torres Cua will someday be a Medical Representative? I mean, after hurdling a very challenging college life when he took up Industrial Engineering at Ateneo de Davao University, he was one of the few students who passed the string of exams and interviews made by Hitachi Computers. HICAP as we often call it, is a leading multinational electronics company in Japan in which every new engineer would seek to work for. He then worked shortly for Kodak Philippines before realizing that Manila was just too crowded to accommodate a newly -wed couple who was trying to build a family then.

But you know, his God has a cunning and distinctive sense of humour who sometimes works in mysterious ways. To “shorten the long” he eventually went to become a Professional drug pusher- legal at that- a.k.a. Med Rep. A colleague of his once told him kiddingly “ you’re not ordained to be a medrep, you’re an engineer”! It’s unarguable since he's introvert and his often straightforward attitude has no place in Sales career.

Over the years, he eventually developed his personality and even managed to cater an ever challenging yet rewarding Sales career. Modesty aside, last 2006, he bagged the highest National Sales performance ( in %age) in their team helping him attain the 4th runner-up honors and just last year, he settled as 3rd runner-up nationwide for their team.

In all of these, he can say that God is really in control of his life and has acknowledged that God's ways are better than ours... All praises, honour, and glory goes to Him alone.

Now is he an Engineer or Med Rep?

Maybe both can work in harmony.

yeah, both can work indeed!
my husband is an engineer (mechanical) as well but he works as a teacher right now. well, it's not really that far of a field but when he looks at the bigger picture, he's saying it's totally different. but he's a carpenter, too. and a farmer. so as long as you have the passion to do what you want, it can work well. but of course, it is HIM Who is in control.

congrats on being a Med Rep! gosh! ang yayaman kaya ng mga legal drug pushers na yun! hehe...
