I have been offered a sales job at www.westartfurnishings.ca
I haven't had any previous interest in furniture, but I'm sure just learning about their stock and company history will be enough. Here are my questions; Can a driver, drive everything? Can a pilot, fly everything? And can a salesman sell everything?

Yes. Yes, and yes.

In all the cases above, it is simply a matter of adjusting to the new environmet around you. All the basic principles and laws remain the same.

In my opinion furniture sells itself. It is not the type of item that you really need to be convinced to buy. Either you need a new couch or you don't. The main selling points for furniture are price and look. If you are trying to sell high priced ugly furniture you are screwed.

I have been in sales before if you can identify the customers needs and convience them that your product, services, and personality fit their needs you can sell just about anything. Right now I run a shipping facility. My job is to get product from point A to point B as cheaply and efficiently as possibly. It wouldn't matter to me if it was shoes or Porsche parts. Although Porsche parts would be more fun.

Liz you could probably learn to land a B2 in optimal conditions. Automated approach and landing systems are commom on large comercial aricraft and I am sure the military has them too. Its probably just a matter of learning how to set the computer on a B2. The trick is becomming familiar with the aircraft and what to do if the suititation is compromissed. Remember the crop dusting pilot who flew the F16 and destroyed the aliens in Independance Day? Then again he wasn't Canadian. Hehehehe just kidding.

We are only limited by our abilities and experience.

"We are only limited by our abilities and experience."

Very well said Roger! I would add to that our willingness to adapt.

100M won't buy you "anything". Not an island, not the city you grew up in and certianly not the intelligence or foresight required to keep yourself safe.
