As someone who has worked those type of jobs for years, the grass is indeed NOT greener on the other side.
Those jobs have a much lower barrier to entry, so in addition to being paid less, employers can hire and fire much more easily.
Also don't fall for the "sales is such a great skill to have!" When was the last time a salesperson convinced you to buy something?
What will you have to show for the years you're going to waste in these type of jobs besides a few bullet points on your resume?

- joshvm 9y agoB2B sales is probably a lot more compelling than B2C sales. Big difference in mentality. Consumers don't typically value their time monetarily, whereas businesses are (mostly) only concerned with how much money they'll save if they buy your product. And then you realise why people will pay $10k for software that saves them even an hour a day. It pays for itself in under a year. Having done it, I would never get a job in retail again. It's absolutely soul destroying.
