If you want one of the most in-demand skill sets of all time, learn sales.

If you can sell a product well, you will never be out of a job and you'll never be short on finances. Sales as a whole is recession-proof, trend-proof, and hype-proof.

It's no coincidence that it's also one of the most difficult skill sets to really "master". But don't believe that you either "have" the sales gene or you don't.
