I’m at a bit of a crossroads in my career and would really value some honest input from people who’ve actually been in the trenches.

I'm 32, currently working as a truck driver (with some supervisory experience), making about $5K/month after tax. I’m looking to transition into a sales-focused career where I can match or exceed my current income, with long-term growth potential. Also, I have a background of hotel management and customer service and bit of sales as well.

The three paths I’m seriously considering are:

- Mortgages (mortgage agent/broker)

- Real estate (agent)

- Car sales (dealership sales)

For those of you who’ve worked in any of these:

- What does the day-to-day actually look like?

- How long did it take you to make consistent money?

- What are the biggest pros/cons that people don’t talk about?

- Which one would you choose if you were starting fresh today?

I’m not afraid of hard work or commission-based income, but I do want something realistic and sustainable—not just hype.

Appreciate any real-world advice or experiences 🙏

What could be the best possible career option for me?
