If you have been around Quixtar and Amway for any amount of time, you have undoubtedly heard this saying, "You have to treat the system like a college education and invest in your future".

That sounded logical to me so I decided to compare Quixtar training with college, not in income, (we’ll get to that later), but in success or "graduation" rates if you will.

According to Quixtar, .0076% of active IBO’s attain the level of diamond and less than 1% attain the level platinum or above. Source (see page 2)

In other words, the "graduation rate" of the Quixtar training systems is less than 1%. Meanwhile, the graduation rate at the University of Washington is about 70%.

If you were told that the chances of graduating college was less than 1%, would you go?
