Top Ten Reasons to Get Into Medical Sales

Ten.  You majored in biology, chemistry, or pre-med but don’t wanna go to pharmaceutical school.

9.  You majored in business but are interested in (and have taken classes in) science.

8.  You would enjoy visiting or working in a hospital or pharmaceutical setting, but you’re not so much interested in blood. 

7.  You’re fascinated by exciting, cutting-edge developments in medicine and technology.

6.  You automatically become more interesting at parties.

5.  You’ll be one of the few; not one of the many.

4.  You’d like control over your schedule.  You set dates and times for sales opportunities.

3.  You would like to control how much money you make.  Yes, there are base salaries, but sales reps also work on commission.  The harder you work, the more you make.

TWO.  You’d like a sales career opportunity that isn’t completely tied to the economy…people are always going to need healthcare.

1.  A Major 10 List of High Paying Careers ranks Pharmaceutical Representative at #9 with an average starting salary of $51,000+.  I happen to know of similar sales positions in clinical diagnostics, research clinical, histology, clinical laboratory, imaging, DNA, cellular, molecular, surgical supplies, hospital equipment, and pathology device where you can do better.
