You can go a hell of a lot farther with sales that working at a car lot. Get into inside/outside sales in a larger company, most require a degree. The money potential is huge. I also went for a ME degree for a while. I started talking to some engineers and decided I didn't want to sit in front of a computer all day, so I changed fields. If you get in a small company you can get hands on still, but I want to see how well the parts I design work when they are done.

I ended up getting out of school for a while and getting into the job field. The real killer with that is the financial aid goes down the crapper once you start making some money and it makes school difficult. Basically you have to keep a job and go to school, which is a pain.
