Nonsense. Learn to talk well, learn the principles of a given field, dress well, and you can sell anything. You'll end up driving a Porsche while your teacher is...still teaching.

Salesmen are born not made and only 10% of the people in sales who are "closers" make 90% of the money. The rest barely make a living wage eg: sales clerks in department stores even sales people in car dealers only 10% are successful. Most people in sales couldn't close a door.

Exactly. Selling requires communications skills, not a degree. Insurance, real estate, cars, whatever. Stick to something people need all the time. Go get 'em, Tiger !
