Advice please!!! Pharmaceutical sales vs. capital equipment?

Hi. Thank you for taking the time to read my question. For many years, I have been curious about pharma sales, but many insiders have told me to consider (medical) capital equipment sales. What are the pros and cons of such jobs.

Additionally, I am concerned about my ability to land either position, as I lack the 2 years of outside sales experience that is standard industrywide. I do, however, have two bachelor degrees, one in nursing (BSN) and one in communication. I am currenty working as a travel nurse and making over 100k/year, but I still belive I can reach higher levels of success in sales. I am very outgoing, hardworking, and especially competative, so I know that once I am given a chance I will do well.

I am also ready, willing, and able to relocate and travel.

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
