Corporations - The Ultimate Pyramid Scheme

"Ohh... you're involved with a network marketing company? Isn't that a pyramid scheme?" This is sometimes a response when I tell people that I am involved with a multi-level marketing company called Univera.

I will tell you what the best pyramid scheme is - one of the corporation. Just look at the organization chart:

President

VP VP VP VP VP

Manager Manager Manager Manager Manager

Worker Worker Worker Worker Worker Worker Worker Worker

Now doesn't that look like a pyramid to you? It certainly does to me.

There is the worker, with very little chance of advancement in the organization and their wages only go so high and if they are lucky, their wages will be indexed along with inflation. If they are lucky. How many people do you know that got rich from working at a JOB (Just Over Broke)?

Here are all of these people working for someone else to get rich. Oh yeah - you have security I suppose.... Highly overrated.

Some food for thought....
