This article describes seven sales occupations with annual wages that were higher than the May 2010 national median of $33,840. And BLS expects job growth to be average or faster than average in each of the occupations through 2018, resulting in many jobs.
Keep reading to learn more about sales careers, including how to start one of your own. The next few pages describe the occupations. The section that follows discusses pros and cons of sales work and the skills needed for success in it. A final section provides advice on how to begin a sales career.
