How to make more money in todays workforce
National Sales Manager - (City withheld for privacy), Pennsylvania, United States
If you want to make real money today, then you need to look into some form of commission sales. Unfortunately, many people want to make $100k but think they deserve to get it upfront! Commission sales people are the top income earners in the world. I started at the age of 22 after graduation from college. I took a shot while I was young and stuck with it. I have always made near or above six figures and today I make well over 100k, and I get a salary and commissions. Start young and keep with it. Your first year may be rough but in your 2nd year you may be making 2 - 4 times what all your friends are making with their "safe" jobs in their little cubicles.

Always ask for a raise after a major accomplishment such as a big sale or a large project that was recently completed.
