A year after I had graduated high school, I was 19 and I hadn't enrolled in college (did so later) so my moms was harping on me to find a better job. Figure out what i want to do with my life type shyt. Saw an ad for $16/hr, so I said why not
Cutco/Vector Marketing.....most of yall already know what bullshyt took place
After my first hour in there, I knew it was bullshyt. One....nikkas wanted $149 for a knife set to use in showings. Even at 19, I knew that's where their money came from
Two....they wanted us to be walking door to door knocking on random people's houses and begging our family to buy that shyt
I thought that shyt was like a call center type spot. Three.....the dude interviewing me just handed me the job and said I'd be making 100k in 3 months and running my own office
Four......to appease my mom, I went back the next day and they drove us to Baltimore for a conference. It was so fukkin sad and pathetic. Looked like a damn cult. Like a scene from the movie "Boiler Room". I knew I fukked up the minute I walked in. 500 people in there harping on some white dude's every last word and he never once explained what they do or how they make their money. It was shyt like "you can be successful too, you deserve this life, dont listen to your friends and family.....they're holding you back"
I felt like such a dumbass for riding two hours to Baltimore and having to stay and listen to this bullshyt to get a ride back home. The second we touched back to Philly, I couldn't have ran out of that office fast enough. told moms Id find somethin else. I aint pay them nikkas that $149 either
Oh yea, there was this dude on the bus who told me he dropped out of college to go sell knives
