Fernando Ceballos & Raymond Fong 4 years ago, were working as engineers, having been educated at the best schools int he world and now working on projects for the government they can't talk about. Ferny Ceballos was educated at the very prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where the world's brightest in science & technology go to study; he had received a Masters in Electrical Engineering from USC and worked for 5 years in the defense industry, on highly classified programs for the military. Considering Ferny is the son of poor Mexican immigrants, growing up in the barrios of East Los Angeles, it is an incredible story. Just as inspiring is the story of his business partner, Raymond Fong. Ray immigrated to the United States when he was 9 years old from Taiwan, grew up very poor and his dream as a kid, was to become a successful engineer, earning a lucrative wage and retiring his parents from their back breaking jobs. Like Ferny, Ray had also graduated from a prestigious technical institute, Harvey Mudd College and had also earned a graduate degree from USC. He too worked on high classified programs for the government, but both fell well short of being able to retire their parents. With 40% income taxes on young single guys and a high cost of living in Los Angeles, they managed to barely send a few hundred bucks to their parents, pay their living expenses and afford a couple of beers with friends. They felt by the promise of the American dream, having worked hard, getting good grades, going to a good school and getting a kick ass job - to justify the sacrifices of their folks. They followed the formula to the 'T' and were disappointed. Fact of the matter is, living on a $20k per year job or a $80k per year job is still the 'rat race' - the only difference is the size of the cheese on the other side. Living the 'Dilbert-lifestyle' as corporate slaves was not for them. Three hours of freeway traffic, 8+ hours in a cube and endless government paper work was driving them crazy. They were getting dumber by the second and had no way out. Our over-educated brains were rotting and we needed a way out" and it came in the form of network marketing - an unlikely option for professionals with their background..
