Are sales job worth looking into compared to working at dead end job @ a major university?

Can you do both? I started my Mary Kay business while working my full time job I knew within a few month I could replace my salary but i stuck it out for a year putting extra money away. Find something that gives you flexibility to do while working full time. Good luck

You should stay at your current "job" Just Over Broke until you get your home based business up and running check my 360 profile to see why I don't work for someone else.

For salesman / and lady will make good money, if you have the positive, aggressive, hardworking, love other and yourself personal skill. I would say, start a part-time job in sales first. Test the water, if you like it do it. One story, I walk into a shoes shop in the mall. The sales lady and I started chatting. She have two other job beside this one. She likes to work two job, but not the other one. She said, she will quite one soon. You know what, she is one in her early twenties. The point is test the water what you like to do. You don't have to spend full time at it. Do part time job on it. The main thing here is OPEN UP YOUR EYES. If you are interest at sales, check out these book or audio book. Rich Dad, and Poor Dad, by Robert T. Kiyosaki. Or, Negotiating Strategies & tactics, Brian Tracy. See if it is for you. Cheers!

To make money in sales you have to have the gift of gap. You need to quickly analyze people and then just talk, know how to approach and again talk, talk, talk. It takes a lot of determination and depending in what kind of sales you go into also the ability to take rejection easily and go on. In some businesses like real estate it can be a dog eat dog world. Therefore you need to be thick skinned in order to survive and make money. Evaluate yourself honestly and see if this is what you want and if you're cut out for this. If you think you are, go for it, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Good Luck

yah..but w/ sales you only get out of it what you put into it. You dont just show up and have the money start rolling in. you gotta get out there and beat on some doors, and pick up the phone to generate leads and such.. the reality is though, any job requires some sort of "salesmanship" to be done well

Decide what career type you'd like and keep making job changes to reach that objective. All jobs will contribute to your resume, but you need to keep yourself in the job market and attending job fairs etc.

a good salesman/woman is not customer service driven they are sales driven so if thats you then sure its an amazing career full of lots of benefits uncluding money, if you like money its for you.
