I kind of wonder who takes these crappy door-to-door jobs. You must be really hurtin' for $$$ and must have no other options to take this on.

I can't imagine how crappy it must be to get up in the morning and all you have to look forward to is getting denied, have doors closed in your face, and getting told to SCRAM!

You'd think students would be able to find something better. New immigrants perhaps? But then again, they might be ESL and trying to sell something while ESL is a recipe for disaster.

Door-to-door is a tough job and in this day and age, probably shouldn't be a sales strategy anymore. Bottle drives for Scouts is maybe the only acceptable door-to-door approach.

I've known people who have volunteered and gone door-to-door for charity things like Easter Seals, STARS calendar, etc and even they get treated like crap sometimes.
