What might have been a good career choice for Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman?
In Death of a Salesman, Willy's son, Biff, comes to realize that Willy probably would have preferred working out in the open air, probably on a ranch. Willy's father, brother Ben, and Biff preferred the work in the open air to working for a business, so Willy probably would have preferred that, too.Willy's father also made and sold flutes.

Instead, he ends up selling products that he did not make, so he tries to be "well-liked" as a salesman rather than selling things which he had made and could be satisfied with.

Is Willy Loman misguidedmalicious or mistaken?
From Shmoop Literature on Death of A Salesman http://www.shmoop.com/character/literature/arthur-miller/death-of-a-salesman/willy-loman.html Willy is a rather insecure guy. He tries to make himself feel better by lying to himself and his family. In his world of delusion, Willy is a hugely successful salesman. He disguises his profound anxiety and self-doubt with extreme arrogance. Periodically unable to maintain this image of strength, Willy despairs and pleads with successful people around him for guidance and support. Despite his efforts, it becomes clear that Willy Loman is not popular, well liked, or even good at his job. In fact, he was never was. In all likelihood, he never will be. Now an older man, Willy can no longer drive competently, pay his bills, or sell anything. Willy is a tragic character because he never grows.

WHATS THE ANSWER?
What does the lead sell in Death of a Salesman?
It never actually says in the entire play what Willy Loman sells. Only that he is not very good at selling. Some may conclude from Willy's high-flying remarks about Bill Oliver who sells sporting goods that he may sell something of that type; however there are also other ideas because of the fact that he seems to go to very professional offices. Some believe that if he did indeed sell sporting goods, that the work situation would be more laid back. It also doesn't make sense then why Biff would steal a foot ball from the locker room at school as Willy would be able to get him one for free.
