VIPKids (teaching ESL to kids in China via the internet) -- scam or legit?

[dfrecore]

. Thought I'd mention that I worked for CUTCO for all of 24 hours back in 1996! I was unaware until looking them up, but my tenure was actually the first year they launched the company. At the time I was working as a nurses aid in the OR (my first step into medical) and thought this CUTCO company might be a way to make some additional income on the side. The story is short and sweet:

Bought Kit (scissor & a couple of knives)
You're HIRED!!!
Drove home - slept on the master plan and decided it was not for me come morning.

The funny part is that I gave the set to my mother who ended up using it for YEARS. Anytime I come across someone who bought their stuff, they go on and one about how they actually worked well. It's crazy to hear that Cutco is still around rocking the same program.

Thank you for going down RANSOMSOUL memory lane

I went to the "interview" back in maybe 1990, and walked out of there thinking "what a scam!" Then years later, I found out my BIL sold Cutco for a long time and made good money, but he is a born salesman. He bought us a set for our wedding, we LOVE those knives, still have them all 17+ years later. We actually bought more of them a few years ago, and are thinking of buying more. But, while I like the knives, I can't imagine trying to sell them door-to-door to people. That's crazy.
