LMAO

It sounds like that "pyramid scheme" like USANA. My buddy gave ~$800 to USANA to sign up, and then $200 per month to stay in it. He was stoked, thinking he was going to sign up alot of people and make a good risidual income. Ha, he did it for months. Yet he doesn't mention it anymore. I'm pretty sure he lost a few $k on the deal.

Only a few people actually make money off of this... I recommend staying away.

EDIT:

Do a search for "Primeamerica pyramid" on google

Also, thats why they don't mention what it actually is. They just say to come to one of their meetings and hear about it. Then you go, and they try to persuade you to give them money.

If you do not understand something, please do not post your opinions and if you truly have questions or "concerns" about other tech members then don't be afraid to ask.
We sell benefits and are fully licensed in every aspect of our bussiness.
The only money they require is for your licenses, and when you pass them you get reimbursed. Even if you don't pass, they pay for you to take it again and again for as long as it takes. sorry for not writting a paragraph on this before but I was merely trying to answer a thread and help a fellow member find a new opportunity, not take over his thread.
The fact that more people have similar problems financially (losing their job, needing more income, or are underpaid) does not give me the right to post extra info on someone elses thread but since some people think this is a scam or scheme I must inform them but I should probably start a new thread if people are interested.
Moderators, I am not sure where to post Job opportunities so please PM me where I can do this. thanks
I fully understand the situation. USANA has been around for ~17-18yrs, and get around the "illegal pyramid scheme" by giving people health supplements for their $800 sign up fee/monthly dues.


So PrimeAmerica has nothing to do with signing people up to make money?

Texas Instruments is opening a new plant at Alma and Renner Rd. They do most of their hiring through a technical temp company called Volt. I think they have an online site but I don't know the addy.

They likely will have jobs for manufacturing associates, eventually, I'm guessing around $12 an hour but that's a wild guess. That's a no experience type job. If you have any technical experience or a 2-4 year tech degree you could get a job maintaining equipment and make around 50-70k a year with shift pay and such. The bennies through Volt aint great but you wanna get hired on to TI after a year with Volt. Kind of a trial type thing then TI hires you if you aren't an idiot. Then when you are an actual TI employee the bennies rock from what I hear.

I have a number for an onsite Volt project manager that hires for the 'temp' jobs at TI. She doesn't know me, I just have seen her cubicle at TI and gave her number out to a couple friends that eventually got a job. If you have any semiconductor or IT experience it's worth a shot. Drop me a PM, I don't think it's wise for me to post people's numbers on a forum.

Please check it out at Primerica.com, not google
Google is more "real", compared to what a company says about itself. Just my opinion. These pyramid schemes have a way to word/swindle their way around to make it "sound" legit.

facts are proven evidence and you're posts are non fact based and pure speculation about what others think and you are entitled to your opinion so maybe you don't join and let others decide for themselves


So if I search on google, I won't get any factual information?

Ha, Google will show facts, as well as real life stories about people that have used/tried things (such as primeamerica). I think there is more "real" information on a subject if you talk with someone outside of the company. Of course a companies website isn't going to say anything about themselves, so I wouldn't expect to find that information on primericas website.

Lets say that there is a performance shop that constantly does shitty/halfassed work, but I'm not aware of this. Should I just look at their webpage and see what they say about themselves. Or should I search google/ls1tech about that company and see what others say about their shop. This is the same idea when it comes to this subject.

Do you think we're scared to post while you're online? WTF?

Just out of curiousity...how long have you been doing this? Like you said, you just started. My buddy was stoked when he first started, but then he realized how hard this BS is. Sure, a few people make money. But more often then not, you'll fail in this type of "business".
