I have been a realtor for over 7 years now, and to say I am burnt out on it would be an understatement. My market area has been depress ever since I got into it, and has consistantly had the highest unemployment rate in the state, and is about to go up again.
The past few years I have been doing property management, which amounts to being a Nanny for landlords who don;t want to be the fall guy demanding rent from deadbeat tenants. Sixteen hours of continuing education due by December, I have started entertaining the fantasy I will just let my license expire and move on to something else. What I have no idea. I have had many careers and will hopefully have a few more. This is the longest I have stuck with any of them.
But who knows......

Awww sweetie, i was saddened to read your post about your chosen field of employment. It
seems to be the way of the economy for the Republican encumbancy. I hate to blame yet another, ugly thing on the Reps. but i have observed, in my history. Which is longer than I care to
tell. The economy is always bad when they are in office. It has been happening since the Eisenhower years. I was too young to even vote then, but i remember well the way of the depressed economy.. It seems also the only way they have to try and fix it. Is to start a war, of one kind or another.
Naturally the war machine has to be rebuilt. and making jobs more plentiful. I may be wrong, I dont think so however. It has repeated this pattern too many times by my own observation.
I dont know if it will change quickly, but hopefully if we get the Dems in, it will eventually make a difference... But there are no guarantees.... sorry,,, janice
your flowers are beautiful. So nature compensates sometimes

Funny, property management strikes me as an interesting field of employment, especially for a Faulknerian person like you. But that's me romanticizing it. Maybe you should look into doing a similar thing but in a different place, like Wyoming for example!!

A sampling of my day: I cut my phone one Monday morning at 9 AM and have the following messages:
"My drawer guides are completly broke, they need to be replaced, I get my rent in on time, I expect some service!"
"My sister step grandson was killed in a wreck in Atlanta over the weekend so we are headed down there for the funeral, he wasn't but 24 years old, so if you try to call me and I'm not here that's why."
"You remember the woman at Sonic with the yeast infection? Well I rode thru there yesterday and she has located her daughter she gave up for adoption 42 years ago and they are going to be reunited this week!"
"Call me as soon as you can! The doctor says I have Toxoplasmosis from going to that Black History Program in that moldy church basement! You need to wear a face mask when you go in these nasty houses, I have some I will give you that are perscription."
I kid you not, and it was like that all day long.
