Sales is one of those things where people either have the stomach for it or don't - I'm one of the latter. I have a certain amount of respect for those who can do it without resorting to lies/BS/pushy tactics in order to meet their goals. It's a tough balance. I've had to do limited amounts of selling/marketing in the past in service of other business objectives, but I always hated it. Best of luck to you.

Yep - the economy sucks and will continue to suck for a while. Just buck up and sit tight at whatever job you're at. Nothing's going to change for quite some time to come, so you might as well get over it and do the best you can wherever you are.
