I buy and sell large, industrial machinery. I have a Liberal Arts degree from a kickass school. I got my frst job because A) my internships B) my school's reputation.
Note: I learned exactly nothing about sales or machinery in school.
My job: I set my own schedule (I work a lot of hours). I am almost completely self-managed. I have a lot of stress and responsibility. One fuck-up and I can ruin our company.
Last year my income tax alone was more than most of my friends' salaries. My six-figure income was entirely from commissions.
Sales - its sink or swim.
Long view: I will probably die early due to the stress of my job. But my family is well cared for.
