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.

AF made me think of something else..
any place that gives you a projected commission amount would be suspect to me. what i would expect in sales would be to be given a quota and told, “meet it, or get out”. what they’re doing when they give you a projected commission is they’re trying to sell you the job. keep that in mind.

Exactly. That's how they get people to keep working jobs like that. Dangling a fantastical carrot, and spreading rumors.... It's how several of my friends, and even my brother, keep getting drawn into those jobs, and get worked to the bone trying to reach those goals...

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.
