What is the highest earning sales career?

I was curious. There are so many sales jobs: cars, real estate, prescription drugs, etc.

What is the most lucrative? What is the income of these high paying sales jobs?

    Manufacturers reps make good money- I know of one who, in a bad year, can still make a quarter of a million dollars.

    Sometimes real estate, but it is dependent on a Lot of factors.

    Car sales? Average around $25,000 to $45,000 per year.

    See the above web site for more info.

    By the way, forget the hype you hear with so and so making a trillion dollars a year doing this and that. Not that you can't do it but those are exceptions. With sales, It is all up to you.
