Hi All,
Everyone usually say that purchasing staffs can earn much more money than other job.
They'll have main salary and getting commision from their providers. The requests of this job are not too high.
Do you think so? Do you have experience about this job?
Which skills I need to have in order that I can do this job?

Salary is OK. Commission can be earned in any job which requires a transaction. However Purchase is one job where growth potential in career is quite high.
The necessary skills would be Knowledge of the market, understanding of the business for which you are procuring, negotiating skills, knowledge of taxes and duties, Knowledge about vendors, transporters and other associate in the chain. Nobody has got any of this in the begining of career unless he has education in this field but the knowledge can be eraned if you have knack for this work. However one should feel comfortable with people in general to begin with
