[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren't the college and universities where these women paid tuition and took out student loans also considered MLM? That's the ultimate marketing scam and pyramid scheme. LLR was successful because these college educated SAHM moms didn't have careers but had a lot of college debt. I hear stories like this all the time, where a college grad in debt will go further in debt to pay off the student loan debt. [/quote]

I didn't hear any of the women talking about being in debt from student loans. I assume a lot of them went to BYU or state schools. It seemed like their husbands were supporting their families and this was for "extras."

Women who actually need money get real jobs. [/quote]

So I can only give the example of the one woman I knew who did this, though from watching the documentary I think there may have been others in this position (I'm thinking of one who talked about how she worked in "corporate America," but found it difficult to balance once she had kids).

Anyway- the woman I know is college educated and was a paralegal at a law firm I used to work at.  For reference, our paralegals usually made between 80k-100k.  Her husband was a plumber.  This was when I worked in NYC; they lived in a pretty far out suburb and she had a super long commute and young kids.  I think in the beginning she brought in decent money and quit her paralegal job.   I don't think she was fully replacing her salary, but they no longer had to pay for child care.  Anyway, obviously the whole thing imploded; they sold their house and moved to a lower cost of living area, and she has since found a work from home job as a paralegal.  I don't know if she lost money or how much.  But it sounded to me from the documentary that they really appealed to this type of woman- educated and professional, but not high up enough to earn a ton of money or have much control over their schedule.
