What Do Student Loans Have To Do With Network Marketing?

As a student loan debt counselor at one of the top four loan servicers in the country AND a Network Marketer, I feel fortunate to be able to provide solutions to people on a daily basis, no matter what role I am playing.

BUT, I feel compelled to admit, it is challenging sometimes switching back and forth between the corporate and the entrepreneurial mindsets. 

As a student loan debt counselor, my time is scheduled by the minute, 1/4 hour, hour, and day. Every conversation I have is recorded, logged, and evaluated. I am micro-managed down to how often I sneeze and rewarded for my efforts based on someone else's evaluation of my performance.

As a Network Marketing entrepreneur, I have the freedom to do what I want, when I want. I can decide when I want to work and how hard. I can choose what skills I want to use that will determine the results I want. In essence, I can write my own paycheck.

In many ways I tend to lean toward the side that says that a college education is useless, but, then again, I would be misrepresenting the facts because the real truth is that my pursuit of a teaching degree placed strategically on my resume is what got me hired for my current position in the first place. The sad fact is, however, I listen to borrowers every day who are struggling to pay off their student loans because sometimes their debt is the same size as some people's mortgages. And even though I have my own student loans from pursuit of a degree I never finished, in my opinion, Network Marketing is the BETTER WAY.
