"Working with Vector has been an invaluable experience, inspiring and motivating me to improve myself on every possible level. It has taught me to believe that I can accomplish things bigger than my self. I have learned that in the pursuit of excellence, I can achieve results that are only dreams to others. This is the perfect job for a college student. It offers perks and incentives that challenge you for your own benefit."

"Vector has given me the opportunity to change my life. Imagine going to school and having fun while building a great resume and making a ton of money. Vector strengthens your existing skills and enables you to develop so much more. Our success and limitations are usually based on our own expectations for ourselves. Realizing this empowers us to set and achieve a higher standard of life. The Vector opportunity is offered to many; the results are up to the individual."

"Vector offers an unbelievable opportunity that has changed my life. I have experienced an immense amount of success and support that I will use now and in the future. The benefits are great, the pay is awesome, and the resume experience is always a plus. However, there is one thing that I truly enjoy over all, and that is the fun I have working with Vector. The relationships I have formed have been amazing. Who would have thought that success, friendship and great experience would all come out of selling knives? I want to say 'Thank you' to Vector for giving me this opportunity."

"The Vector opportunity is like a mine with unlimited gold inside. I've discovered some golden nuggets that have brought me a great deal of wealth. This wealth was not necessarily just measured monetarily but also in my personal development. These golden nuggets improved my self-discipline and time-management strategies as well as my communication skills. The Vector opportunity is definitely worth its weight in gold."

Lori Reyna

"The Vector opportunity has been a blessing. It has given me tangible and intangible skills that are priceless in my professional and personal life. Most importantly, I have met some of the best people while earning my way through college. Vector not only allows me the opportunity to represent a highquality product, but also the opportunity to deliver high-quality service while creating a lasting impact on people's kitchens and lives. I believe this is the best opportunity for a college student to hone skills that will be used in business and in life."

"Vector is truly the greatest opportunity any student could ask for. It has given me the skills to be a driven young professional and the confidence to pursue any of my dreams. I highly recommend this to anyone who is serious about pursuing a career in business. One will develop an entrepreneurial attitude, the know-how to manage their own time, as well as the ability to become a leader. All of these are necessary in an evergrowing competitive job market, and Vector gives students the edge upon graduating."

"Working with CUTCO has been an exciting and rewarding journey. It has taken me to amazing places and allowed me to meet some great people. However, I feel the journey has just begun. My customers and Vector friends are the true winners of this scholarship, because they made it possible. There is an old saying: 'Find a job you love and you will never work another day.' I have definitely found that job. Vector has built my character, work ethic and determination, and has taught me to keep my eyes on the stars and my feet on the ground."

Asher Abraham
  • Eastern Queens

"If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Working with Vector is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Thanks to Vector's people and programs, the person I am today is very different than the person I was four years ago. I've developed essential life, business, and leadership qualities, and have grown tremendously on a personal level. I'm learning to become the person I want to be while pursuing the goals I set. Excellence is a journey and Vector is my ride. The Vector opportunity is truly amazing. What a great experience; what a great company."

Karim El Tawansy
  • Pasadena
  • Western Region
  • California State University-Northridge

"I don't know of any other position that enables college students to make a higher income than their professors. The financial freedom that can be achieved through Vector creates opportunities in all other areas of one's life. Far more important than the money is the quality of life this position offers. Being able to create my own schedule has enabled me to spend time with my wife, family and friends. I have the freedom to do the things that I love. I've also met some of my best friends in this business. They are the most supportive, encouraging and motivated people around..."

Jamie Mitchell

  • Southwest Region
  • University of Texas at Tyler

"Two years ago, if someone would have told me that I would win a scholarship for selling knives, I would not have believed them. But, looking back on the last four semesters I can honestly say that these have been the most rewarding and exciting years of my life. I have gained self-confidence, leadership ability, communication skills and, most of all, I've become more goal oriented. Working with this company has definitely had a major impact on my life and I will be forever grateful. It's truly an opportunity of a lifetime."
