When the Salesmen Call: Summer Sales...Honest Labor or Corrupting INfluence

So a young man wants to make a few dollars over the summer months doing good honest labor. A worthy goal indeed. Yet at what cost? A few months rent? Food? Perhaps such things cost a tad bit more...

While there many, many honest summer salesmen out there (heavens, my brother did it himself), based on reports from credible sources, I fear that the system is not doing good things for our people. And when I say "our people," I mean none other than the Mormon core. For example, APX security systems are based directly out of Provo, Utah. Yet certain salesmen have, to their own detriment, shown themselves to be a little too shrewd of operators. . Unfortunately, these young men probably did not think twice about what they were doing...they certainly meant no harm and most likely did not anticipate the consequences of being so hasty. But the consequences were less-than-pleasant for this elderly lady...

Like I said...so many good people do it...but friends and countrymen...do beware...the recruiters at BYU are so blatant in their exploitation of missionary skills...all for the sake of money...
