What is the best area of sales to get into? I was witnessing a debate over this at work today. Some ppl thought tech, which is what I have always thought. But then someone brought up the idea of selling securities, and I guess that IS highly lucrative. What’s your opinion? What type of sales pays the most? And is that necessarily the type that’s the best?

Tech has always seemed like the gold standard to me, which is why I'm doing everything I can to break into it. I never really thought about securities. I'll have to do some research - sounds like that could be a good alternative for me.

Good luck!

I would say tech sales or medical device sales. Both of those jobs seem to make a good amount of money. My brother sold filtration water systems and he was making bank.
