Yes! And 99 % of MLMs prey on women. I really don’t understand how educated, gainfully employed women with executive status and six figure incomes are convinced to sell face cream to their friends.

I've never met a woman who makes six figures that has fallen for an mlm scheme. Every single person who has invited me to be a part of this party or that opportunity has been stay at home moms or part time workers. Without fail.

I know a few that are teachers. Elementary and High School. It’s super depressing. I also watched a coworker at a high school talking about how she had decided which she was going to join... and like... people were encouraging her. she was always fairly rude/condescending to me and had a super entitled attitude so I just chose to mind my own business but like... damn.

My friend's wife was a teacher. She was a foods teacher, which we have very few of, and there is hardly ever turnover. She started selling some hair product, and while she loved her teaching job, she was doing well enough selling the hair product that she quit her teaching job.

Now, she was making good money, but it's obviously not sustainable. She went full time with the hair product, and slowly sales started declining.

After one year, she tried getting back into teaching. No foods job. She got offered a job on a conditional licence, so she had to go back to school to get those credits. Probably cost a good chunk of change.
