I'm Not Opinionated

Work Ethic

I am noticing that the work ethic in my field seems to be suffering. I know that this is a market environment that many in my field (including myself) have not seen before. That said, I will work just as hard in a down market knowing that it will pay off in the good times.

Many of our reps have become non-responsive. I know it must be difficult to work hard for very little money but at the same time if you sign up for a job...you need to do it to the best of your ability. Maybe I am living in a dream world...

This continues to disillusion me about the field of work I am currently involved in. I always thought we were helping people...every day it becomes more and more obvious that most in the field were not in the business to help people but help themselves.

Many of the industry are looking at potential jail time for their actions in the past few years. Though I have not been involved in any of these activities I have a stigma attached to my name because I worked in mortgage banking.

As I start my path toward my MBA tomorrow, I am also trying to begin a new career path - maybe in a field such as Human Resources. I know I may have to start from the bottom again...but it will be worth it to again be in a field where I can be of help to someone!!
