My DC graduated from a top public last year and is making six figures first year out in tech sales. A lot more money to be made in sales.

DC is having fun too meeting lots of people. But DC has the personality for sales. I know not everyone does.

No. Social science degree that DCUM considers a Mickey Mouse degree!

Cal Poly SLO, San Jose State U, and Santa Clara U.

All three are feeders to SV tech firms, not just for STEM degrees, also for other degrees. The last two are actually in Silicon Valley.

Just tell your kid to save a huge %age of his earnings. Sales is a feast or famine role and also unfortunately a pennywise pound foolish place where companies cut.

Salesforce also sees AI as replacing their sales people…I don’t quite get that but the CEO mentions it a ton. Not sure if the industry feels the same.
