I'm glad I don't sell cars for a living

Tweet

I don't know how people sell cars for a living. They have to work on weekends and most major holidays. The hours are crazy. The work day is usually way more than eight hours. The work week exceeds the typical forty hour week and with constant overtime it exceeds that amount by a lot. Enough times, they have to go to work on their days off. They never know what kind of paycheck they will get at the end of the week as it's commission based. One week they can make thousands. Another week they can make hundreds. All depends on how many cars they are able to sell and deliver and by how much they are able to overcharge their customers. Being a car salesman is tough. I am glad I didn't decide to sell cars for a living. Not even sure how successful I'd be if I went that route. I ended up marrying a guy that does this though. And he loves it. Maybe that's why he puts up with the crazy hours and not knowing exactly how much he will make every week, as it all depends on commission. That's the reason I don't want to work in any kind of sales. I prefer a stable paycheck and a forty hour work week. Now, if a job offered a good base salary and commission on top of that maybe then I'd consider sales. But otherwise no way!
