I worked with a guy once. He had a physics degree but his first job out of school was sales. We worked together in the semiconductor industry. The company we worked for made machines that measured the thickness of the metal layers deposited on semiconductor wafers using ultrafast pulsed lasers. You need to understand the physics of how these things worked in order to sell them. He spoke fluent Korean and English. I think he was making $100k+. Not bad for a first job right out of college.
