I got my MA at a Christian college. I was one of 2 men on my cohort, with the other 10 of us being women.

Of the 10, 8 are now stay at home moms involved in some kind of MLM. The other two quietly married each other and are still working in the field.

That makes me so freaking sad, and the MLM just proves that they know they want something more, but are limited now in how they can. They can always go back to school, but that's near impossible while you have kids still at home, let alone the cost of it. MLMs take such advantage of that wanting to be successful and proud of what you do, while at the same time siphoning what little you have out of your household.
