Entry level sales positions that I have bumped into have paid only slightly over minimum wage. And I appreciate the suggestion. I'll check locally. Thanks!

The workflow goes as such: you get an entry level sales position of the retail or cold calling variety. You become the best person on the floor. There you go, now you can sell anything, get hired at a high commission position selling software, ad space, furniture, things with high price tags.
Sales jobs are as taxing as entry-level Java jobs and not much more likely to leave someone capable of going to school in their off hours (especially since they tend to require some travel or entertainment on your own time). However, presumably you also wish to help extroverts, who are unlikely to want to spend hours writing "public static" in front of random character strings every single day.
