the same old cliches apply, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.. if that were actually the case, everyone would be lining up for the job... etc. hell, who needs a college degree when you can make $70k/yr peddling cellphones?
i'm sure there are exceptions, but seriously, do you think your avg. kid working at the verizon store in the mall is pulling in $40k? i don't.
anyway, not trying to crap all over your thread, just speaking from my experience.
I think it's because VZW wants to motivate their sales reps to sell. They aren't going to sell much if they have some clueless teenagers making $10/hr. They are obviously looking for the most qualified candidates and they are paying their salespeople proportionately to the volume they move.
And for the record, I'm a salary/commission paid employee at my day job. I was told that the average pay for my position would be 40k in the first year and 50k average of all the employees and I already passed both of those marks in less than a year. And no, you don't need a college degree to get rich. The richest man in the world doesn't even have a degree.
