Careers and back to the 'real world'?

Since you have a 4 year degree and assume have the looks and personality for sales go to careerbuilder.com and monster.com and look for some decent entry level sales resumes yes right out of college. Craigslist has a lot of boiler room type operations expecting you to make 500 calls a day. Corporations like to get young guys and mold them to their selling style and methodology and look for associate sales reps/execs (entry level) - do the corp dress for success thing and get into a major Corporation's sales training program typically 4 to 6 weeks and then they put you to work. They are a bit more forgiving with new guys making their quarterly budgets and you get on a good account sales team and should be able to do more than $50K USD year one and ramp up quickly thereafter... I know one guy owns a direct mail fulfillment business and pays his two top reps over $250K a year - in a company with only 200 employees - Corp sales training and a few years experience opens up a wide horizon of opps with smaller businesses as well.

Pick the industry you are interested and the geographical area and just go for it search for Sales Exec jobs and then apply online for the jobs that interest you.

Retail is being devoured by on line sales - Walmart is closing more than 250 stores...

Every Fortune 1,000 firm needs to make sales and they are always hiring and training new blood - the world is your oyster... a few years in Corporate Sales or as a Sales Engineer is great training for your own business. All businesses must make sales to survive and thrive. Sales is one of the careers not likely to be offshored to China or India and an athletic young man with a firm handshake and integrity is not likely to be replaced by robots - even robots need to be sold.
