You’ll gain no money and zero useful experience except learning how to be a pushy sales jerk and when you finally land an interview with a real employer they might actually look at your experience at Door to Door Insurance/Energy/Security company negatively. Well said… Sounds like common sense to me… ? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/primerica/120708)._
