I could be making a crap-load of money eventually with this job.

Yeah...but you'll lose about 20% to taxes assuming it's a legit job heh. I lost $150 on my last pay check heh.

Still, money is unfortunately necessary so can't do without one.

Maybe I'll bleach my hair just to be like "Oh man, Seth would hate this."

Why does that sound like a really bad idea to me?

MattSharpIsCool 06-22-2005 10:09 PM

To Vince: I could be making $3,000 per week after maybe 3 months.

To Rissa: Because no one likes blonde hair. Ick.

Man...I'd love to believe you..but I have to call bullsh[SIZE=2]it[/SIZE]. You didn't just get hired at a 150k per year job. That's more than most college educated kids make. By about a factor of three.

MattSharpIsCool 06-22-2005 10:15 PM

I'll explain the pay scale to you.

It goes by levels, depending on how much merchandise you've sold. Theres a 0-1000 level, where you make 10% of how much you've sold. 1000-3000 level, where it goes to 15%. 3000-6000 level, up to 20%. 6000-10000 level, up to 25%. And last, 10000+ level, where you make 30% of what you've sold.

30% of 10,000 is 3,000. Thats not including taxes and such though.

*smiles* What you don't realize yet is how hard it is to sell $10000 worth of merchandise. If you manage to sell that much I would be very very impressed. For example, the grocery store I work at is fairly large...and sells $30000 worth of groceries per week. Also be aware that you'll probably saturate your market unless you're traveling all over the place.

Well now you've got me doubting it. Might be a good thing too. I ran a google search about the company, and it seems they've had some problems with employees, saying how hard it is to sell the products. Hmm.

It's not hard if you know how to sell, but usually companies don't teach you how to run a business when they hire you to do that sort of job. It's only hard to sell merch because you're going to be selling to say, 30000 people, give or take. Now, you can only sell these people knives once, so once you make the sale you've lost them as a potential customer. Not everyone is going to buy either, so unless you're changing who you're selling to by traveling, it's going to be hard to sell because every sale you make kills the demand a little bit more.

Oh no, I think you can do fine at it, you just need to make sure you sell your product strategically and be sure you don't sell only in your city and then be sad when a few months down the line you run out of customers. Besides, at worst, it'll last you the summer and you can be making money whilst looking for a more steady job for during the year. It's actually not a bad scenario.

No, not really. Have you ever watched Supersize Me? Some guy has been eating Big Macs several times a day, every day for the past like.. 20 years and hasn't gained an ounce, and he's not even physically active.

billiejoe84 06-23-2005 08:24 AM

Hi, you guys.


Well, today I checked out my new house and got the keys. For the first time in my life, I am currently legal paying tenant in 2 properties. How good is that - I could have 2 centre parties, or have 2 ladies in 2 seperate beds, or have my choice of where I want to sleep when I come home from town drunk, or many other possibilities.


Best of all, my new room is 2nd floor, and has a great stoner window (just about beanbag height). I can barely wait...
