If you do a quick little search online, you may discover that there are some business owners who started their businesses as young as 14 years old. There are also many great companies started by students in dorm rooms. Therefore, I think it is a great idea for a student at 18 years or older to start their business with SFI and here is why:

1. Some may say that the typical student may not have money to make any purchases here but there is an alternative because as we may recall, buying

SFI is good for students (18 or older).
In most countries the age of 18yrs is considered adult. Therefore legally this group of individuals can operate their own business without having to seek parents' or guardians' consent.

This age group of people tends to work online a lot because of social networking and they enjoy it and have fun. Being students also, they have research to be done on the internet as well.

Therefore, SFI being an online business, with recruiting that

The short answer is Yes - of course!

In my opinion, people 18 years and older whether they are students or are in employment all face the same social difficulties. Those in employment however do have the financial advantage over the students and that they normally have more money at their disposal.

Student will do just as well in SFI depending on how they approach the business. If they are looking at making quick money, then perhaps SFI is not for them. However if they are

SFI is Great for Students:

This kind of business would be great for students who are majoring in business, advertising, and economics to provide hands on training and a way for them to be aquianted with the business world. But likewise, SFI would also benefit students of any other major who enjoy working online and who are searching for a way to earn.

However, SFI is a longterm commitment to realize any success, and the student would need to be advised by their sponsor of this,

"Is SFI good for students (18 or older)? Why or why not?" is a very good question!

Since student are always in a learning mode, using SFI as an additional subject can be easily blended in as part of their education. Of course, as parent, we always want our children to have a good grade so that they can have a better career to earn good money, right?

What's if along the way, they managed to learn the gist of the education in SFI and starts to earn some income from there,

Hi Chidinma,

I think SFI is perfect for students! Let me tell you why.

At the age of 18, students are at a point in their lives where they are just beginning to experience what life has to offer, but at the same time they are also having to face some pretty harsh realities, such as a poor economy and an even poorer job market. Any student with an ounce of vision would leap at the chance to start earning money while they study their chosen career.

And since they are

SFI is good for students 18 years and older. We are talking about young people who are actively involved in pursuit of a higher education, here. And of students who have reached the age of majority in their own country.

These young people have lots of energy and most claim to know what they want in life. For the time being, anyway. They are experiencing some freedom at the time, most are living apart from parental guidance for the first time and are enjoying that freedom. And, while not

SFI is GOOD for students(18 or older)
Students are spending lot of time with their ipods, mobiles etc for many unproductive works. Some answers were given that they don't have money for placing standing order. That's fine ;they do have pocket money to charge mobiles and they dont't have to pay for SFI membership nor pay for retaining EA status.
Their time can be channelized into constructive time.

1.Stdents are great networkers
2.Students have the necessary computer skills

SFI is great for students.

I am too old to be a student, but I have a nephew in SFI. He is also in College. He is the first of my extended family to attend college and part of the reason is SFI. He works hard everyday on SFI. When he first joined SFI he went to the local temple because that was the only place he could get WiFi. Now he uses the WiFi at his school and he has recently bought a WiFi connection for his home.

He does not make a million dollars on SFI but he makes
