I figure you are throwing away a portion of your life, blowing off your friends, and ruining any credibility in either situation, so tough choice..--Answer1:On one hand, you are among the drudge of society, you have no credibility, and no one respects you...On the other hand, you are in prison. That is tough.....--Answer2:Thats a funny question. Just yesterday I heard an Amway commercial on TV that stated, "....weve helped over 3 million independent business owners (distributors) generate $7 billion dollars annually....." If you do the math, that breaks down to an average of $2333 per year/distributor. This doesnt even take into account that there are some distributors making six and seven figures. So, the average is probably more like $200-$300. Im not sure why a company would A) be proud of that and; B) disclose it on national television.Still, Id choose the MLM....though probably not just any. I figure if you have absolutely zero business experience, at least you are being exposed to that. You can at least take whatever business experience you are getting and parlay that into a real op..--Answer3:Ive been involved in so many MLMs so, yeah, what you say is so true. None of my friends will talk to me anymore ... for fear Id be coming to them with yet another program I joined. So just this month, I threw it all way and decided to make money online ... the easy way ... being taught by an online multi-millionare in his club. www.debt-to-rich.com.--Answer4:I would pick prison for sure... at least I could make friends there - and it would be a lot less painful than trying to keep friends while participating in an MLM.
