Probably the one career I would never pursue is salesman, specifically the life of a salesman. Being a salesman, in my opinion, sucks seeing as you never really have any job security and your always trying to make quota.
Being your own boss is different but when you have someone constantly over you head reminding you to meet certain goals, it can get kinda of stressful.
Beyond that, the money you get in comparison to what the company is pocketing seems like 0 to nothing. 20% commission is like nothing when corporate is pocketing 2000 on that deals alone. Commission alone is another reason why I wouldn’t want to be a salesman. Not getting paid until you make a sale means never really having much money or security in general. You’ll always be selling, always be restless until you accumulate enough to say you can actually start spending some of that money.
I’ve worked for commission before but that was only with an hourly wage added on to it. I can see how people who get paid by the hour might become lazy but this idea of survival of the fittest through commission just seems to send the wrong message in a socialistic world.
