+1. I've known tons of people who wasted time trying to work there...

It's just part of life dude. Do you know how many f'd up beaters I drove when I was your age?

Money doesn't grow on trees. If it did I would have an Aston Martin DBS sitting next to my Z in the driveway.

You gotta pay your dues (or win the lotto)

ANY BS "network" marketing company is going to be a waste of time unless YOU STARTED IT. Because that's the ONLY person making money at it. Take it from me.

There's no shortcuts. Trust me.

i know plenty of people that would buy insurance from me. As a matter of fact, I have a list of about 10 or 11 people that will. Thats out of the 15 people that I made apppointments with but I'll take that percentage anyday. Trust me, when you see how crappy Cash Value insurance is compared to term, and how much money you could save in a year, you would too. I'm not some average kid. I graduated salutitorian and finished my first year at UT Tyler with a 3.7 GPA majoring in Kinesiology and Business Management. I'm not unintelligent, I promise ya. Also, for those of you doubting Primerica, maybe its not for me and maybe its not the right decision to make but I'm willing to try. My best friend is in it and signed last August. He made 5500 his first month and the lowest he's made a month is 4500. He's brought in as much as 15,500. Thats more than my annual earnings at CFA. If it doesn't work out for me I'll eat my crow and let you say "told ya so". No need for the harsh words though.

*Sigh* I don't know whether it's disheartening or amusing that some 23 year old currently working at Chick-Fil-A is trying to pass himself off as a de-facto authority on Life Insurance. It's probably a little bit of both.

Listen kid. Good luck with Primerica. You're obviously very gung-ho about it, which is good on one hand, but also very strange...since a smart kid like yourself should have done your research. If you did, you would have figured out pretty easily that Primerica is the dregs of all insurance companies. They're bottom feeders...period. The people that buy their products are suckers, and the people that get recruited to work there are even bigger suckers.

Well I guess I'm a sucker. I would very much like to know where these stats are coming from? Oh and by the way, I'm 20. I finished my college in 2 years. Like I said, I'm not as uneducated as you may think. I have a degree in management, and I'm working to get my Masters. IF this doesn't work I will have wasted 100 dollars and a few hours of my life. If it doesn't I'll go coach basketball at a high school and teach Biology or go manage a business. Either way it's not like my future will be ruined by this decision.

is this a joke or something?

He could always try Amway. It's the same concept...and people are much more likely to buy household supplies from a 20 year old than Life Insurance.

You're trying to finance a car and go to school for a master's degree by working at a bottom feeder insurance company that promises much, but delivers little. It also seems like you're following all of your 'best friends', who I now think works as the manager for your CFA branch, as well as Primerica, which is kinda weird.

I gotta admit, I laughed when I read your 'If it doesn't work' section. Coaching basketball at a high school vs. managing a business, wow what a way to go through the spectrum...hope you're not thinking of financing all of your dreams with a coaching job!

Anyway, tl;dr version, getting a 370Z in your current state is a bad idea. Keep the TA, make absofuckinglutely sure the insurance thing works out in your favor; if it does then all the power to you. But at least if it doesn't, you'll still have your CFA job, and you won't be neck deep in debt.

This has been addressed more thoroughly than I have the patience for...

Primerica Financial Services...BE WARNED AND INFORMED

The company has a multiple commission structure, and is basically a legal pyramid scheme.
