um, in the world of business, generally the persons who take the financial risk of starting a real company do end up making the most money. IF it succeeds. there is risk.
The difference is I am not required to 'buy' a certain amount of my company's products every month to have a job.
I go there, do my work, they pay me well and I leave.
I don't have to recruit people to get my wage to a certain level,
to sell the same products I do. I get my wages for the work I do.
I get benefits. People are renumerated according to their skillset, their job responsibility, and their talent.
Not on whether they are blonde and photogenic with a cute story, or how many people they recruit into buying the same products for teh same company that they are also buying and being genuinely disingenuous about what they are doing.
So, yup, people are paid more than me. If I decide to go out on my own and start a real business, NOT an MLM, I could be very well paid one day too. Anything is possbile. Won't be for an MLM though.
