sales is the best skill you could learn to earn the income you desire
Christopher Hitchens
Wrong. Sales teaches you to move what already exists. That's valuable, sure, but it caps your ceiling at commission and manipulation. The real money flows to people who build systems, create products, or own equity. A salesman makes ten grand closing a deal. The engineer who built the software being sold makes millions while sleeping.
Besides, sales depends entirely on market conditions and your ability to exploit psychological weaknesses in buyers. That's fragile. Learn to code, start a business, invest in assets—these compound. Sales is a dead-end skill dressed up as ambition. You're trading your voice for crumbs while others own the table.
What actually produces wealth isn't convincing people to buy. It's creating something they can't live without.
