Sales is the fastest way to become “rich”

Sure there are other professions (bankers, doctors etc) that are high six figures + earners but in tech sales you can relatively quickly earn over $100k within a relatively short period of time. 

Unlike many other lucrative fields where you have to start with a ton of education, money and overall credentials, you can sometimes just start sales with charisma and good work ethic. But high pay doesn't come for free. You have to believe it's going to go well and work really hard, day in, day out.

*Sales is the fastest way to earn a lot of money (earning a lot and being rich are often not mutually exclusive)

Lots of sales professionals, like doctors, lawyers, bankers, etc, have shit money practices. If you're interested in more on the topic, here's more:  https://www.scottoeth.com/intrinsic-value-blog/2016/12/1/paw-vs-uaw

No marketing, mayo isn't an MQL
This, too many people in sales and recruiting live fast and loose for far too long.

Never thought about that before. Good point. I'm definitely living pretty below my means currently.

I've never seen a profession where you can earn your value other than sports. Sales allows that.

If you kick ass, you can earn more than the league minimum of NFL players. Sales is amazing.

You can absolutely be rich in this profession if you know what you're doing and can execute.

No I don’t. 

Highly recommend using live eels as insertables though. I’d pay to watch you do that.

Still a sales job. Just selling your body and dignity.

Preach, easiest job to make a lot of money very easily. It’s a hard job in a more emotional way, but in practice it’s really the most lucrative profession for people that have a lack of real credentials

Sales is a way to make large sums of money with a low barrier to entry. Typically if you work harder you make more. Takes years to get good at it and to see the $$$ though.

Buy SHIB... wait, don't... wait, maybe do. 
This is not financial advice. 
I don't own SHIB. Never owned. Will never own.
