I want to go into sales because they seem to earn a shit ton of money.

Are sales folks proles? Labor aristocracy?

Would I be a class traitor for selling something and earning, like, 10x more than the artist/engineer/ laborer who makes that thing?

The vast majority of sales jobs exist to manipulate people into buying something they wouldn't have otherwise bought. That's the whole purpose of the job. Otherwise it's just a pointless bullshit job where what you do doesn't matter at all. Most people who work bullshit jobs come to hate them. They feel trapped because having a job where you get paid well for doing nothing is supposed to be the dream.

I think sales tends to make you a worse human being as well. The jobs tend to create a culture where lying and manipulation are not only permitted but praised. Your coworkers will celebrate screwing people over and you'll absorb their horrid justifications for what they do.
