Hi...
In direct response to your question, both could earn money fast or neither could earn money fast. Depends on the op and your available time.
With my situation, after 12 years with a major newspaper, I quit because they reduced my pay to the point that I could not survive from it.
After looking for some time and after talking to some friends, I chose Prepaid Legal Services for a new career. Do not prejudge the name. It is an awesome opportunity. I have been active for two weeks only now and I am doing very well.
This company is 37 years old and has been listed in the "Best 200 companies in America" 7 years in a row by Forbes magazine. There's tons more, but that was all I needed to give PPL a serious look.
I am building a new website for it and it is not finished but you can go to http://cyork.com/agents.htm and listen to the audio there. Also phone the two 800 number pre-recorded calls about the business and I am sure you will be very impressed.
Once you have done that, click on the "Home" link at the top of the page and then click on the "Business Opportunity" link and watch the short video there.
If you have any questions at all, feel free to call me at any time.
I have a degree in marketing and another in Electronic Engineering and this is the opportunity I chose to be a part of. You can do this part time or full time, it is up to you.
If you wish to sign up without calling me, there is an "Enroll" link at the bottom of cyork.com.

Thank you,
John
