had a moment this week where a customer asked me if sales is “safe” as a career right now. I gave a confident answer, but later I questioned it myself. With everything going on globally, am I overestimating how secure sales roles actually are?

I would not still be in the industry if I knew I could find work in a more stable one. I would definitely not be recommending the industry to any newcomers right now.

I get why you feel that way. Sales can feel unstable in downturns, but I have also seen it reward adaptable people who can adjust quickly to changing markets.

Today I was walking back to the hospital from my car some random guy came up to me and asked me for directions while I was still in the lot.
