I want to go into sales because they seem to earn a shit ton of money.

Are sales folks proles? Labor aristocracy?

Would I be a class traitor for selling something and earning, like, 10x more than the artist/engineer/ laborer who makes that thing?

Yeah, this seems like the correct take. Class has more to do with your relation to labor than your income bracket. We might individually have positive or negative or neutral opinions of salespeople, but their relation to labor is the same as mechanics, or shorehands, or any other occupation traditionally considered working class.
