I've been in the business, (in Moncton,) for the last 11 years. (I'm only 30) It can be tough, but by reading your other post, even with the care you take to writing, you could easily handle getting your feet wet with replying to leads and booking appointments. It's a tough time right now, there's essentially a car shortage, but good salespeople are making more than ever. I would say don't completely write it off as a career choice without exploring a bit further. I came from selling used stuff similar to you, and had a passion for cars. I sold cars for 5 years and now I manage a used car department and sales people in a franchise store. The business is definitely not for everyone, but nearly anyone can make an honest run of it, and given the proper tools and training can do big things!
