Ya'll know I been looking for a job recently, still nothing though. So about a week ago I got a text from one of my friends saying his friend recently got a spot open in his company and was looking for some hard workers to make some money part time.

So you know I'm desperate as fukk for money right now so text him back and tell him I'm available. So Sunday I get a call from dude telling me his "very successful" friend is on the line and he wants to speak to me. So we chop it up for a bit I tell him when can we meet and tells me that he, my friend and some other people are having a meeting Monday at 7:30 PM. At this point I'm like what the hell? I tell him cool but he tells me he can't promise me anything.:manny:

Ok so I haul ass all the way from Brooklyn to Manhattan, and reach the place. Here I am thinking it's gonna be a little job interview type meeting with about 4-5 people but I go in the building to the 6th floor and it's a whole fukking room full of people. About 40-50.:dahell:

So I finally meet dude, and the first thing I noticed was how bad the nikka smelled. :heh:

Anyway he tells me that my homeboy forgot he had to go to work so he couldn't make it. :dahell:

So dude tells me what am I specifically interested in doing, and I tell him I'm down to do anything for the summer just to make some cash but I'd prefer sales and customer service. So breh tells me grab a seat were gonna have a presentation and we'll talk after. :beli:

So I grab a seat and they bring out this former Red Sox player, Steve or Steven something I can't remember the dude's name and I looked on Wikipedia and I can't find him either so... :skip:

So dude goes on and on about making money and how people work for someone else the entire week and don't get to enjoy themselves. Dude says he didn't like playing baseball because he was on the field all the time and had no time to enjoy himself and basically saying that people live for the weekends. :pachaha:

So the shyt is sort of catching my interest and I'm thinking dude is some sort of entrepreneur and all that shyt.

Now dude starts playing a video of some company called Amway. It wasn't this video but it was close to it.



After the video is done I'm like :patrice::pachaha:and finally realize this is one of them pyramid schemes.

So at this point I'm just like :mjlol: at how I actually ended up in one of these. Some kid gets up and starts walking out and the speaker's like "Have a good night" :russ:When dude reaches the door he says "It's ok he has to go work for someone in the morning I don't.":scust:

At that point I'm not really fukking with the vibe in the room and I'm ready to leave. So we see a bunch of nikkas in the room that they're calling shyt like "Sapphire" "Emerald" "Gold" members. So automatically I remember a thread on the Coli where dudes were talking about pyramid schemes and mentioned "gold" and silver" members. :mjlol::ohhh:

So presentation ends I'm sort of skeptical but I'm desperate for some money now. I tell dude I need some money so I'll do this shyt part time for the summer.

Dude hands me a sealed folder and a video of some dude who he said started doing this at 18 and retired at 25.:patrice: :mjlol::stopitslime::dead::heh:

So anyway I set up an "appointment" with the nikka and this bytch at some Panera Bread restaurant at 8 PM on Wednesday. I'm not expecting it to go anywhere tbh but like I said I'm desperate to make money so I'm about willing to give it a shot. If I have to pay for anything though I'm chucking this nikka and my homeboy in the bushes. :scust:

:mjlol: just do it breh.

Put on enough dumb nikkas and you can retire before 25 too:mjlol:

if you wanna make money make a product and sell it, buy low sell high, or become an affiliate for a reputable company.

Even if you make money doing this its not gonna be worth the hours you put in.

:dead:This shyt is similar to my experience. I've attended many of these 'business opportunity' meetings, and they're all the same. Whether it's Amway or Vemma, it's the same song and dance. Same method, different merchandise. Those people are really arrogant and get real full of themselves if someone chooses not to buy into it.

Listen. If I have to be bribed in order to join a company, that's usually a sign for me to stay away. And most of these people don't know the first thing about business, so the fact that that they even have the courage to speak like that is both hilarious and sickening. And that's exactly why they'll be the same ones who'll end up crashing and burning due to that same pigheaded arrogance.

If you want to learn how to fish, you ask a fisherman. If you want to know how to fix a car, you speak to a mechanic. So why in God's name am I going to listen to a bunch of teenagers with the illusions of grandeur and no experience? :heh:

:dead: First time I heard of that, some dude was all giddy telling me how he's about to start his own business, how things are looking up, etc.
From selling vacations. :dead:
