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.

ok cool you have a business degree so you know what you're in for. i just didnt want you to get into something you're not prepared in. i too was a business major, had only a few classes left to take before i switched majors. so thats why i learned ALOT about different business practices and what works and what doesnt. if MLM worked as much as they proclaimed, then every member would be Donald Trump, but thats clearly not the case.

with this economy, business is not the best field to be in right now. i later went to school for nursing so thats what im doing. i do have a regular job (m-f 9-5), regular boss too, i am one of the lowest workers on the totem pole, but im happy. when it gets busy it gets busy but when its dead, at least im still getting paid. its not like i have to work for EVERY dollar. i get full benefits that the hospital pays for. i have weekends off, the pay is good, all my bills get paid, and the cap is pretty high. my mom is a nurse and she makes 3 figures. its one of the most stable jobs in the world. i know ill never be out of a job. i never have to market any product. hospitals will never be out of business. people are always going to be sick. and theyre always going to be getting old and needing healthcare. what better business to be in where the clients actually come to you instead of you looking for them? i could always finish my business degree and open up my own type of healthcare, be it an acute care facility or whatever. i can have people working for me and making me money. similar to what you have in mind, but i still dont know what product ull be selling.

so what business will you be opening up? i never asked what products youll have in store
