I wonder if one day I will find a job that actually fulfills me. Is there a job in sales that can actually feel like you are doing good in this world?

If you sell a product that solves a challenge you are passionate about it not only leads to fulfillment personally but also translates to authenticity and passion your clients will pick up on. Best of luck finding it - it is out there somewhere!

Interested to see replies to this.

Another way to frame your thinking is a job that enables you to do good. Big commission checks = big opportunities to do good in the world.

I know it may sound corny but I feel this way helping people with their sleep needs at Sleep Number.

Are you in a commission only or salaried position? I myself am in a salary position with bonuses that are somewhat tied to my performance. My job is split about 50/50 between actual sales and account management and couldn’t be happier with what I do. I’m here 10-12 hrs a day, 5 days a week and enjoy my work. Maybe you just need a different pay structure or atmosphere. Hope you find what you’re looking for.

I’m salary + commission. I’m happy with my paycheck but always seems like I’m missing a higher purpose (besides making money).

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.
