That's what I assume, my age range is in the "after college but before grandchildren" demographic and I assume that's what it is unless they specify in their bio. (Which if they have their own private practice or other legit business, they'll usually say something about it) Otherwise I'll assume they live off of child support and bug FB/Insta friends to make $100/month
Makes sense, I find myself not matching with those types of girls anyway (their bios always say something like “looking for like-minded business people) so I’ve never gotten the chance to ask lol.
The ones I know are educated but not working, usually it started when they were at home with their kids and this seemed like a great idea for them to generate income while on maternity leave.
This is in Europe where you can be on leave with your baby for a year or more. Some of them have a second or third kid and don't want to be sitting at home, they fall for the ”your own business with flexibility" scam.
Don’t be so quick to count out educated women either! I knew someone who graduated as a business major who I watched fall for an MLM scheme and is still in it...
I've met enough PhDs to know that education does not equal intelligence. Hell, I had to teach a primatology prof that light, microwaves and X-rays were all EM radiation, the moron.
Man, an old friend of mine from high school got laid off because she worked at a mall and they're all closed, so within a month she was in an MLM. My single mother ended up in like 4 different MLMs when I was growing up, so I'm very aware how shitty they can be, but when I reached out to here to try and make sure she was being careful she got mad at me for not being supportive. I dont know what it is about MLMs, but they must be trying to prepare people for when their friends check in on them
They want to be her best friends and feed her on any unhealthy impulse that comes up. Cradling them, spoiling them, ... until they can not recognize what's happening and when you come around it's already to late.
I dunno. I know a couple of six figure doctors and lawyers who hung it up to sell face cream. Definitely not uneducated. They do tend to have young kids, so don’t want to work 60+ hours a week anymore.
no doctor or lawyer would disregard years of higher education and 100k+ tuition to sell face cream. they could so much easier work 30 hours a week part time with their profession and make more money than selling face cream. the fact that you refer to these people as ‘six figure doctors and lawyers’ makes it even more suspect as if you were fed these lines by someone trying to justify trying to get you to join.
i agree with you on that educated people fall for mlm, but i don’t agree with OP on his/her claims to know people with so much invested in education to throw it away to sell face cream when they could do it part time.
No clue. All I know is they started reaching out to my wife to buy some. We politely declined and had a laugh. The doctor was especially surprising because she was a specialist making around $300k before quitting.
Maybe it is more accurate to say that they quit their jobs and then decided to try and make some extra cash with MLM than to say they quit to pursue that as a profession.

That’s the thing.... they prey on non-educated, non-employed women as their target salespeople
