I played with door to door when I was in a similar situation. It blows!

It takes a VERY unique type of person to do it well. If you are in high school, you aren't it.

First, as soon salesmen come to the door, people immediately are in a no mood, so you need to charm their defenses down, then charm them enough to listen to you and then charm a sale out of them.

Why do these people aggressively advertise for people everywhere? It's a contact sport. They chew through humans at an incredible rate looking for that one guy that can charm the pants off people enough to pimp their shit.

They will promise you that you can be the next king of siam with all the money and phat bitches you'll be rolling in, but then you are dropped off in some random subdivision going door to door, for free, knocking on door after door of having angry people slamming their doors in your face. Then, you actually find a sucker that is interested, and you say, of, I made $20...maybe I'll stick with it and you keep pounding that pavement until you finally have a monopoly moment and flip the board and never go back. Oh, and they never pay you that $20 they owe you and still keep the sale.

TL;DR Fuck that shit.
