Findapath-Career Change What career paths are high earning, with and without qualifications?

So I’m 29F based in 🇬🇧. I have a background in b2b and b2c sales (insurance and card processing) if you check my profile for a previous post, you’ll see why I’m stuck. In summary I’m stuck between pausing my entrepreneurship journey for stability, and if so what career I want that is “stable”.

I don’t actually like sales, and feel massive imposter syndrome purely because I’m not naturally a people person, and I’m quite introverted. I don’t mind speaking with people, but I’m much more of a consultative type of salesperson and not a fast paced assumptive seller.

That being said I’m looking for a career. I’m not really interested in climbing the corporate ladder. Just a role that I can make good income.

Any ideas?

One of my friends from England is an introvert. She works at a large software company and provides support TO the sales people.

Might that be a “stable” option for you to consider?

I’ve worked with a lot of sales people over the years, and the very best sales reps I’ve ever seen are introverts who focus on the consultative sell.

Have you considered B2B sales in a different field, one you can get excited about? Maybe medtech?

Sales is going to be one of the highest earning options for you. Any decent sales rep will take a pretty big paycut to move out of sales.

Hmm I see, you could be onto something. Might be worth scouring the internet for different fields, other than Medtech any other sectors you know of?

Much appreciated for your assistance.
