Lie
Successful careers in sales are built on relationships, not degrees. There are thousands of sales reps that do not have a college degree, yet they still manage to succeed.

Learn all you can about the product you're selling and the market you're selling to. Ask for training, work hard, stay focused, and you can have a great career in sales too.
A decade in sales.
Yes it is true that many successful sales reps today never obtained a college degree. However, certain industries require a bachelors degree for all sales rep candidates. These industries tend to pay their reps a bit more than those that don't require it. Yes, relationships are very important in sales, but the best relationships are those that are built over time between the sales rep and the customer, one based on integrity and excellent customer service.
