I want to go into sales because they seem to earn a shit ton of money.

Are sales folks proles? Labor aristocracy?

Would I be a class traitor for selling something and earning, like, 10x more than the artist/engineer/ laborer who makes that thing?

Not all sales people fit the caricature of some slimy liar.

Sales is one of the few professions that compensates people’s skills and hard work proportionately. They’re not ceos who manage people like livestock.

lmao at dressing up manipulation and deception as "skills" utilizing "hard work". sales people aren't compensated for hard work. they are compensated for moving product. that can be extremely easy if one has the skillset of "lacking compunction".

just like all cops are bastards, all sales people are all dirtbags. sure, go make that cake. just don't think anyone else is gonna respect you for it. if they tell you otherwise, they're selling you something.

I think there's an argument to be made that actively manufacturing a need to consume a product that was previously unnecessary purely to create profit is somewhat manipulative. The things I need usually don't need to be actively sold to me, on account of how I need them.
