Network Marketing - Who's in it?, discussion... pros and cons Options

[Jeunesse]

Just curious, what's your take on Network Marketing or Multi-level marketing or direct sales if you want to call it nicely?
I know Robert Kuyisake author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Donald Trump endorses network marketing but what's your opinion about it? Is it a good start for a part-time home business? What do you think are the pros and cons.

in corporate structure, companies only hire as much employees as needed to make the company run. they dont go out and constantly hire as if its the sole purpose of the company. as any corporation knows, too many workers simply costs too much if they are not raking in enough to justify it. also corporations will pay new hires for training and getting started, as they will become a vital asset for the company. they will even pay for subsequent training classes throughout that persons employment. new hires do not have to pay any "fee" to get started, a known trick used by pyramid scams.

does the company you're thinking about going into require any type of resume? any related work experience? any business degree? or do they just want money? and when you go out and select people to work under you, are you going to find people that have experience being a vice president, or manager, or supervisor, are u going to require some degree? or are you just going to hire them on the basis that they have start up money and share the "go get 'em!" attitude.

Of course every boss ive had cared about my performance but none of them were cutthroat. as for "CEO" or other high positions, people respect the title but only if you earned it rather than buying your way to the top. personally i have no respect for those high rolling contributors to schools that become honorary "doctors" just because they gave $10 million to the school. i believe you can never buy wisdom, one must experience it first hand.
