Re:"educate yourself! educate yourself!" (Score 1)

One of the statistics I had read years back illustrated that 87% of the people who get into these schemes lose their "investment" in the "course." 7 out of 8 get nothing at all.

To top that off, with any kind of pyramid-structured business, regardless of whether it is Mary Kay or Avon or the brand new Ponzi, Inc., you only get on average two people to come in beneath you, not the dozens that will make you millions.

This game works for those that are professional closers but they thrive off the expense of people who are professional losers. You'll make more money working part-time at Wally-Mart or McDunkie's.
