When I was struggling in MLM, I saw that some of the high earners were doctors and teachers. I wondered, “If you’re here and you had a calling in those fields, then who’s doing your job?”

If everyone is in Network Marketing (let’s assume they’re succeeding), then what happens when someone needs a wonderful teacher to teach their child?

It’s a hypothetical notion, but it applies here. If everyone leaves their “hero” professions to become a TikTok millionaire, then what happens when, “Quick is there a doctor?! My child has cancer!”

“I’m sorry, but I retired after 2 years in the field because of my TikTok revenue. Good luck and Godspeed getting medical help.”

This scenario is extreme, I get it. I only want to illustrate we’re leaving certain roles that structurally hold our society together for an elusive luxury pursuit.

To be honest, I would love to only focus on writing, but I had a spiritual calling to enter into teaching. If the opportunity arose to solely focus on content creation (as it would pay all my bills), it’ll be silly of me to say I wouldn’t do it, just for a drip of the freedom lifestyle to hit my tongue.

Struggling students be damned.
