> I honestly believe that successful car salespeople have the qualities that will help them land on their feet in any situation. So they will be alright.

For one guy I know this isn't true. He was a very good salesman of [a product], but eventually its economics changed, and after that, he couldn't find a job he wouldn't get fired at. Until car sales. I couldn't tell you why -- he's not a jerk or an idiot -- my best guess is that there's some level of generic "being an employee at a company" behaviors we take for granted (meeting long-term commitments, knowing the product) that just don't happen for him.
