B_OCRE,
I know several people in your position and they are for the most part very successful and very happy. The poor unfortunate engineers resent the high pay earned by sales people as do many execs. But there are two simple truths. One, you do what they can’t do or are unwilling to do. Two, unless somebody sells the things that other people build, the other people dont have jobs building things that no one buys. My guess is that most people as motivated as yourself and earning at your level are too busy earning money and enjoying life to spend hours hanging around here.
There are ALWAYS great high paying jobs for top notch sales people!
