Here's my .02.... coming from a guy who is completely maximizing the dollar to intelligence ratio..or is it intelligence to dollar ratio? Anyway.....
There's plenty $$$ in "Sales" but it's a progression and not overnight success
1. Need to work you're way up meaning you'll need to start basic like retail and advance career over time to bigger/better/higher paying companies
2. Find something you like (Technology/Pharmaceutical etc) and work for the best company for the industry they're in. You'll never become wealthy working for a mom/pop shop, you'll have a better chance seeing green when the company you work for is seeing BIG green
3. Don't settle for less. Seize opportunities when they come your way and don't sell yourself short. Those that settle in life and accept mediocrity tend to be the same people who tell me I'm "lucky" to have the life I have..I prefer to think the choices I've made got me to where I am....not luck.
By not settling over a 10yr period I went from making $30k a year to $175k
...I chose technology
