That's understandable.
Really it's just another one of those "You get what you put into it" sort of things.
I would never leave my career for a full-time MK gig, because that's just not what I want to do in life for a career.
If some people do, that's their business
I personally do not put a ton of effort into the booking, selling, and recruiting thing. I probably will never recruit anyone, not really because I can't, but because I don't want to. I've made very clear to my director that this is just for fun because I enjoy doing it, and I enjoy working with people, and I've been fortunate that she doesn't pressure me into doing something that I just don't want to (recruit 98173982734 people, buy $329837298374293 worth of inventory, etc) and I still get treated with the same respect that the Red Jackets and everyone else gets.
I've also found several message boards/forums/email groups etc. that get "invaded" with MK haters which I really don't understand. If you hate it, fine, move on and do something you enjoy! There's no point in ruining perfectly good discussions about marketing ideas or whatever to talk about all the "evils" of MK. (Not saying that you're doing that here, just something that I've noticed elsewhere)
You really have to be strong about what YOU want to do with your business. Like if you don't want to order inventory, then don't. No big deal. Or if you don't have time to hold 500 facials in a month, it's all gravy! And I think that goes across with any company whether it be MK, Avon, or primary employer. To say that things like that ONLY happen in MK and not any other company I t hink is a very broad statement. Stuff happens like that all the time (check out Enron for example
)
