Juice? This is your life plan? Avoid this like the plague. If its not some rip of scheme, the upside of it is probably slim to none. Buy some stock, go to school..anything but this half baked idea.

There's another "networking marketing company" like this called Monavie--I know some people who do it and it's nothing more than a pyramid scheme.

    It's funny that you mention this too, because I was just reading this yesterday:

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23071982

    Bottom line: your parents are valid in their stance. It's a good idea to be weary of these kinds of businesses. Especially read page 2 of the article above and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
    Few times on Ants have I seen someone get pwned this badly.

    At 18, how many people can you possibly know who can afford to spend $40 on a bottle of juice? You said you're in school, so good for you, now go get a normal PT job like everyone else.

    people liek you are the reason these things even operate......

    AND... then why are you asking a bunch of strangers what you should do?

    I think this is a great idea.

    You should take out a loan for $25,000 and buy a ton of this juice. Then you can go out there and try and sell it to people. I'm sure you can make it all back and then some before the bank comes to collect...

    As hard as it may be, lets pretend for a minute this is not a scam. Even then you're selling a bogus product to people, many of whom you probably know and care about, for a ridiculous price. I choose Business Ethics ...

    What an inappropriate thread title!

    This is all that came to mind when considering the paradox of OPs thread title and his subsequent posts:

    Auto Circus Cop: [the Dude asks the Auto Circus Cop if there are any leads on who stole his beater car] Leads, yeah, sure. I'll just check with the boys down at the crime lab, they've got four more detectives working on the case. They got us working in shifts! Leads!

    Incredulous!! I'm crying at work...
