Sales. It's the go to skill if everything else becomes useless. It's the primary skill if you choose entrepreneurship. It's useful for freelancing should you have any secondary skill. It's not about all that sleazy sales stuff, leads, CRM ability.

It's about

1. Knowing your product, who wants it, who is hurting because they don't have it.

2. Finding a way to reach out to the people who will benefit the most. Understanding sales/support channel. Cold calls and FB ads work for some things, but good sales people learn that there's plenty of other channels that work.

3. Explaining your product to the customer in a way that makes them go "shut up and take my money"

There seems to be many people who thinks sales is the way to go. So does it mean that being a average engineer will have no value in substantial future?

Sales is the low risk, medium returns option. Engineering is high risk, high returns.
