Why not sales or marketing
They are hiring apps engineers...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I wanted to chime in to add that another outlet for your talents that might better suit your personality is to learn to be a professional manager of technical things. There are many jobs that can come out of this. For example, you can learn to run your own company. Being the president of a company requires a lot more people contact, plus it is exciting. For this kind of thing you have to learn some of all the jobs reporting to you like accounting, sales, marketing, engineering, operations and so on so it is perhaps a long term goal.
In the meantime, with your technical skills you could be a good project manager at a larger firm. A dedicated project manager has to understand the technical work that is going on but mainly coordinates and schedules activities, gets people working and judges risk. This is a pretty good career path job in a larger firm, one that is often taken by engineers whose technical knowledge is growing a bit obsolete.
Then there are the classic management jobs where you manage a department of some sort. These also require technical knowledge but most of your time is dealing with motivating your people and keeping them productive, as well as deciding on budgets and activities to be taken on.
The typical path in many firms is when an engineer gains respect in his technical role and is promoted to management as a result. This actually doesn't work a lot of the time because many engineers either want to stay in the technical job or are not actually well suited to managing, but take the promotion anyways because the pay and prestige is "better". It is better for a company to find the engineer who actually has talent in working with people and coordinating things, and who is perhaps not the best engineer available but who knows enough to do the management job. Is this you?
