I've got no advice for you about the stay-at-home or go to work part of your post because I am not a mother and I can not relate in the slightest.But, I do work as a salesperson and my main point of contact is mainly via telephone. Sure, what I do most people could PROBABLY classify as telemarketing. But I don't think of it that way, which is what helps me a lot when I'm talking to people. The best sales people don't need to pressure people. :) I'd say give it a try.I didn't think I'd be any good at sales, but I'm one of the top sales people at my company now. I've been there for a year and a half.
