What specific industry? I'm in outside ad sales, sales can be a bit of a grind at times but you absolutely can't argue with the ability to make some of the most amount of money sans having a P.H.D or some high up legal position etc. Plus typically it's all about results so you can work you way up a corporate ladder much quicker then nearly every other type of job. Plus, you have the most freedom in terms of hours typically and vacation time. As long as you are a people person, have a decent product, decent boss and have a good comp structure go for it.
