Can I score points for sticking with my business?!

OMG! Cant I just score a few points for sticking with my business?! In this crazy economy where businesses are shutting down left and right I have to say that it is driving me crazy that I keep getting phone calls from previous friends, clients and business associates who want me to join their (yes) MLM (multi-level marketing) business! Good, Golly, Gosh, people! (my daughters favorite saying) If I'm going to put my efforts somewhere it's going to be where I find my passion, not where "supposedly" I can make a great career out of selling people on the latest fad! Wake up! Even Amway isnt around anymore! I'm not 20, I've been around to see many friends put their money and efforts into these endeavors. I'm not one of them, I want to love what I do, I am talented, I have passion, I went to school, I have a degree, I give back to my community, I am happy at MY career choice! I love my friends, but dont cross the line and mix the relationship. Those who know me, know that I am good at what I do and that I love what I do. Don't try to lead me down a different path. You gave up on your career, don't expect me to do the same.
