Vegetarian Salesman?

your friend is an idiot. vegetarians do just fine.

and so you decided to voice your concern about his comment here in the hopes of being consoled?

veg is not as bad as being a gay salesman...dont sweat it broccoli

im a vegetarian and i was a trader.

youre fine, but i can tell you, you better have a great story prepared to continually answer the question "so why are you a vegetarian"? cause youre even going to get it more than i did. and i cannot tell you how many times, even as a junior trader, i held the gaze of an entire table of steak eaters staring at me waiting for my response.

be confident about it. do not make excuses. have a few comebacks for any jackasses around the table (in good jest) or a joke embedded in your story and try to move the conversation on quickly.

Fair enough. I can handle jokes but he was saying I wouldn't do well in the sense traders or investors wouldn't like me.

I shot back that if I made $ - who cares about my diet.

Are you vegetarian for religious reasons or are you just a hippie ?

religious

Not to be a dick, but but I know a couple people in the sales part of S&T, higher level relationship management, etc and "entertaining" clients involves a lot of alcohol, food, womanizing, etc. Regardless of the varying level of slutting going on just keep in mind you wont be dealing with priests when you go out.

well i do drink, bang women, etc. i just dont eat meat. when i said religious, i meant it more that i was brought up that way, and not a "hippie" choice.

What about not drinking in sales?

last time i checked, this is America, so you should just sack up and enjoy some steak.
