This is slightly tongue in cheek, but not completely. My sister is in sales. She doesn''t sell something tangible like encyclopedias, but something that is very targeted within a certain industry.
She works at home and has a decent salary. But her commission is phenomenal. She normally doesn''t reveal it, but kind of did accidentally and I was floored. Her hours are decent (plus at home) and it is not stressful. I used to not even take it very seriously.
Now I work in a traditional work environment but it is banking in NY and we do have bonuses, so I''m kind of used to the whole traditional path and game. But I had no idea someone in sales could earn my bonus easily in months, wtih far fewer hours put in and not even getting out of their pj''s!
So am I just seeing a glmpse of a very small sliver of what is sales, and if not, how can I find a way in! Because as a mom, it sounds pretty ideal!
