Even if that is the case, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that job. One would still need a good understanding of the products they are selling, and get some type of training. It's hard, for sure, but an enterprising person could probably make some decent money. Enough to live off of at least. I suspect that our OP is a little bit picky. Wants a job in the right location, and the right job, because he is a swell guy and good at what he does. Guess what. That's everyone else out there as well. We have all had to differentiate ourselves, and find our own path. I studied law for crying out loud and now manage network builds. We roll up our sleeves and do what needs to be done.
