I just think of the stock brokers and mortgage brokers who were making bank when times were good and now it's really hard to make it. I was just surprised how many people were in medical sales and all were doing so well, i was just wondering what the downside to that industry is? My friend who is in it said that they are starting to crack down on Med sales because some of the reps were getting charged with bribing doctors. I just read this article and was wondering what the sales reps think?

If you’re an ee then your golden you can always go into sales and make allot of money. if the market slows go back to engineering. The market in general sucks right now but engineering is hot and will be for the next 10+ years. You can always go to china and make sick money. The down side to pharm sales now is that it is saturated and it is on the decline. Engineering sales is the new hot business. I would look into it. You can sel all kinds of stuff. Look into it.
