[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you that said sales.

Can you explain what this means? How should he start off in this field?

He’s athletic but not tall and not white if that matters? Would it still be a good fit?

I’ll research some smaller colleges with business programs. Anyone know if there are schools that incorporate working in the business world as part of the curriculum?

Sales is 95% about personality!  Top sales people typically are someone whom everyone just likes, they have the drive and charisma to charm most in a room and it's just natural for many. Some might be top students, but most of the top Sales people I've know are average to good students, not the tippy-top (I'm sure some are).  They just have the "it" factor.  [/quote]

The real estate agent who sold our house had serious ADHD, and I doubt very much he was a good student. He went to Towson U. But he was a GREAT salesman! Truly fantastic people skills, able to read people, able to tell them what they want to hear. He sold our house by selling the neighborhood and really charming the buyers. Our house was fine, nothing special, but we needed to sell it quickly, and he sold it to the first family who looked at it. I see his name all the time in ads, so I'm sure he's doing well. He has a lot of listings. He has a great sense of humor and he's fun to talk with. A very enjoyable person to be around. His ADHD was a problem when we were selling because he kept forgetting to do things, but the house sold! And that's what mattered most! [/quote]
