Just finished studying business at university, I now know everything there is to know about business and have had 6 figure jobs thrown at me.

Joking aside, I'm driven to pursue sales. Through the process of trying many freelance gigs and a lead generation side hustle, I've realized that prospecting, cold calling, booking appointments and making deals on meetings is actually wayyy more thrilling than actually fulfilling and putting a smile on a customer's face (Is this normal, or am I a psychopath?). I'm totally aware that fulfillment is crucial for a business pipeline, I'm just exaggerating where I get a kick in business.

Anyway, I'm stuck for money and just getting out of dead end work would be a good thing to happen right now lol.
Question is, am I being slowly turned in to the rat race?

Plan now I've finished uni:

> Get this job in sales, posted here Sales Development Representative - Prime
Looks legit, great recruiter and actually building skills that will last be in any business I choose to pursue. They claim I'd be hitting 6 figures in a few years, not bad and can still have time to continue side hustles. Yes I have experience in cold calling and don't have nerves picking up the phone.

I'm always on the hunt for feedback and cautious of shiny object syndrome, so would love any input or advice for a uni student who feels like he's landed on his feet with a high value fulfilling job that will make him more money in one year than he's ever made in his life.
