Why should I do door to door sales for my summer job?

Marketing products door to door is a valuable experience. Learning how to talk to people, learning what questions to ask, and learning the right time to ask them are important skills. If people learn these skills when they are young they will benefit for the rest of their lives. Learning when someone says "no", that it is not personal. Learning that each door you knock is an independent variable, that the only connection between the "no" you received at your last door, and the answer that will be given at the next door, is you. Your attitude, your presentation, and your professionalism. Sure you will learn a lot. But most people sell for the money. Doing door to door sales you can make a lot of money. Enough money to buy your books, buy a car, and even graduate college debt free. They say that accounting is the language of business. That may be true, but selling is the mouth of business.
