Salesmanship

Comment author: robot-dreams 09 January 2015 08:32:23AM 3 points [-]

Upvoted. This is the 3rd time in the last week that I've heard someone mention sales as a useful skill, but how do you train it short of actually getting a job in sales?

You can switch to buying your groceries at a farmers market where you can negotiate price.

I also know someone who brought a bunch of WoW Gold on ebay and then practiced buying and selling WoW items to practice his sales skills.

Snap - yeah I was thinking "Sales"

Passes all the criteria above except maybe "frequent rewards" (It's a field known for high rejections) and maybe "baddassery". That said it has an even higher "useful" criteria.
