Tough Marketing Job

NY Times did an undercover story on the life of a magazine subscription seller reveals a world of low lifes, whores, drugs, and poverty.

Finally some good journalism.

People join up with the magazine crews after high school to travel the country, to get out of their parents' house. They end up forming these gang-like bonds with their magazine crew mates and live in some rough conditions (by both choice and intimidation). There is very little regulation in the industry. Hopefully things will change.
