Find a reccesion proof business, open up a sweet shop, confectionary is doing very well at the moment, unlike communications and... well... sales iin general

I got it. Don't work at a kiosk. The comission is so low on those sales jobs its shitty and working for a tmobile or something isn't that applicable unless you are an awesome salesman and want to work in future sales (because its basically retail). Anyway, When I was 20 I searched the papers and found a job working for a doctor who did cognitive science and it was an office style job. Fillign out reports, files, working with kids one on one. Working with a Doctor with degrees from Harvard and Stanford. Anyways it paid 17.75 an hour and that isn't too bad for a 20 year old. Now I'm unemployed though because i changed jobs and then got laid off. I wish I hadn't left that job for something better :(

Superchunk is right, when going for a sales job, treat them like a potential customer. Keep trying, showing up until they give you an answer.

You don't want a sales job that pays a commission during a recession.
