50 B*****it Jobs - not in Real Estate!

What is a B*****it job? According to the heading of the article in money.cnn.com, we are talking about "Big pay, not much wrk: Least useful gigs in America". So basically jobs that pay pretty well for doing apparently very little. For whatever reason, various professions within real estate (and I will focus on Real Estate Agents) have been labelled as jobs where it is MUCH too EASY to make a living while performing a minimum amount of work. Of course, those of us in the industry who aren't part of the ~ 80% who can't hack it every year realize that it just isn't a stroll on the beach. Lots of hard work, long hours and diligence are required before a 'Super Agent' can be made. And that super agent must continue to strive and work hard to maintain their status and living.
So I was very pleased when looking though the list on money.cnn.com (I love this website, by the way) and I didn't see Realtor®. I didn't see lender. I didn't see the word mortgage. I didn't see appraiser. I didn't see inspector. The closest thing I saw - agent ala Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire.
So the next time accuses you of being no more useful than a sports bloviator, a roadkill collector, an infomercial spokesperson or a Feng Shui consultant - you now have evidence to the contrary!
Alas, 'blogger' did make the list. But then again, blogging unto itself isn't our profession, now is it????
Thanks for Reading :)
