26 year old making 6 figures without a degree

I wish I had the mindset to be a salesman. I hate cold calls, commission, and sales. I am not pushy enough to be successful, but sales is where the money is made.

If you have the mindset to sell and it sounds like you are really good at it there all all kinds of sales jobs out there. I am sure after some companies see how successful you are they would snatch you right up. Although if you are not happy with your current job it's probably the sales part you don't like. Insurance industry is booming, but you probably need a degree.

I know a guy who owns a hubcap business who would be interested in someone with your skills. He provides hubcaps, wheel skins, and grill covers, to just about every major dealership in the St. Louis area. Like I said, I hate sales, but did this job successfully while I was in college and liked it alot. The dealership already knows you are coming and expects you to be there, you just walk through the used car lot and show the manager a list of cars with damaged hubcaps. He approves the list and you replace the factory set with an aftermarket set. You get paid really well for each set you sell. He is looking to get out of the field and have someone work under him. Best of all you only work 3 days a week Mon, Wed, Fri. Probably not going to come close to the money you make now, but a genuine salesman would do very well at this job. The company has been around and doing this for about 15 years or so. It's my best friends dad who owns it. Let me know if you want more information.

i just got "laid off" in december but got transfered to sales with charter communications. if we meet the min numbers, i will make 44,000 a year. someone last year cleared 80,000 and is in their mid 20's. I have been in sales for a month yet, and am still learning a lot. No cold calls at all. I cant do that. if you are good at what you do, education doesnt matter. friends dad and one of my ex's dad are making well in into 120,000 with no extra education.
