UCalgary + Vector Marketing Partnership
Okay, so technically this has nothing to do with Mac.

But I'm so disturbed (as were all four of my coworkers)...that I had to post about this. UofC's school of business has a partnership with Vector Marketing...

Discuss.

"As part of the class, Hassay's students work with Vector Marketing Corporation to sell Cutco Cutlery products via in-home personal demonstrations. But the class's lessons don't end with real-world sales experience."



Those students should really ask for their money back if Vector Marketing is the type of Co-Op their school arranges for them, but hey if you can manage to sell cutlery on a door to door basis you can sell anything? :S

Disgusting. And I thought 24 hours of unpaid training was bad.

Edit. Isn't it funny how students are paying I don't know how much in tuition to get a job that they hand out to anyone only to donate what they earn? I'd sooner ****ing kill myself.

I hope Mac doesn't get any bright ideas along the same lines. All of a sudden my degree will be as valuable as spoiled milk.
